Paige DeSorbo Jokes She Would Rather Tom Ford Return to Gucci Than Get Married

Paige DeSorbo knows what she wants in life.

DeSorbo, 32, took to Instagram on Tuesday, February 26, to beg Tom Ford to return to Gucci as the creative director. In the snap, she wore a vintage Gucci by Tom Ford 2004 blue sequin gown featuring a cutout back that hugged her curves. The front of the dress featured a high neck and a fitted skirt that flared out at the hem into a delicate train. The dress, which was finished with sexy cutout sides, sold on Tab Vintage for $8,695.

“Men: girls just want to get married,” the Summer House star captioned the post. “Women: no we want Tom Ford back at Gucci.”

Ford, now 63, left Gucci in 2004 after serving as the label’s creative director for 10 years. While he worked at the Italian Fashion House, he created sultry pieces including slinky dresses, skinny satin shirts, metallic boots and velvet hipsters. He left the brand after a public dispute about control with a shareholder.

Since then, Ford has started his own eponymous label, selling plunging dresses, chic frocks, croc-finish skirts, suede trenches and more. He also has a beauty brand, which happens to sell Taylor Swift’s favorite (and best-selling) perfume, Santal Blush.

DeSorbo’s joke comes after announcing her breakup with Craig Conover on a December 2024 episode of her “Giggly Squad” podcast.

“Craig and I have decided to no longer be together,” she said at the time. “I love him, I think he loves me. I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing. I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want, and I think that’s extremely powerful to be able to voice how you’re feeling in real-time and what you want for your future.” Throughout Summer House, DeSorbo was often open about not feeling ready to get married, while Conover, 36, was.

Conover later opened up about their split during a February episode of Watch What Happens Live, sharing it was not a mutual decision. “I didn’t tell her what to say [about their breakup on her podcast],” he recalled. “I got a text and she said, ‘I’m announcing it on my podcast.’”

That same month, DeSorbo got real about taking a break from dating. “What am I looking for in a guy?” DeSorbo asked while reading a question on an episode of “Giggly Squad.”

“For them to go away, is what I’m looking for,” she quipped. “For them to turn around and not talk to me, is probably the No. 1 thing on my list. So this Valentine’s Day, it’s all about me.”
