Who Is Joe D’Amelio? Everything We Know About Paige DeSorbo’s Rumored Beau

Just days after Paige DeSorbo announced her split from “Southern Charm’s” Craig Conover, “Summer House” fans spotted her looking cozy with a mystery man at a Philadelphia Eagles playoff game. Bravo fans got to work and identified her new friend as Joe D’Amelio, a sports executive who has previously been linked to another Bravolebrity. 

Joe D’Amelio Works With Some of the Biggest Names In Sports

According to Joe D’Amelio’s LinkedIn bio, he is the senior vice-president of football marketing at Klutch Sports Group, the agency founded by Rich Paul—who is engaged to Adele—that represents huge names like LeBron James and Odell Beckham Jr.

Prior to his time at Klutch, he worked as a Sports Marketing Agent for the super agency William Morris Endeavor (WME). D’Amelio is no slouch when it comes to getting an education, either. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Economics from Bucknell University. He later completed a Master of Business Administration at NYU’s Stern School of Business, specializing in Sports, Entertainment, Media, Leadership, and Change Management.

His rumored relationship with DeSorbo is not his first brush with a big name on Bravo, either. According to a 2020 post by Reality Blurb, he was spotted getting flirty on social media with “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Theresa Giudice in 2020, around the time of her split from Joe Guidice.

Both D’Amelio & DeSorbo Have Had to Fight Rumors of Infidelity

Since they have been linked, fans have been questioning their relationship timeline. Much of the confusion stems from DeSorbo waiting a month after she and Conover split to announce the end of their relationship on her “Giggly Squad” podcast. So, when she was spotted with D’Amelio at the Eagles game, she and Conover had been broken up for over a month, not just a few days since the announcement. 

Prior to being spotted with DeSorbo, D’Amelio called off his engagement to Rachel Durante. After the possible new couple made headlines, Durante took to social media and posted about a certain “girl’s girl,” which was the reason she and D’Amelio had split. 

“Regarding what’s been out there this past week, during my relationship, disrespectful messages were sent to a man who was spoken for, with absolutely no regard or respect for another woman or her relationship, insinuating for him to leave me for her,” Durante wrote on her Instagram stories on January 17, All About the Tea reported. “As my relationship went on, the banter continued, and I was purposely made to feel insecure, and my relationship was undermined.”

While she did not mention DeSorbo by name, fans speculated that the post was about the “Summer House” star. 

D’Amelio has never addressed the post. DeSorbo has adamantly denied she cheated in any way on Conover.
