The friendship between Summer House alums Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner is the gift that keeps on giving.
The Giggly Squad podcasters continue to flood their social media with glimpses into their long-lasting friendship, and Hannah set the tone by posting their first three photos taken together to commemorate Paige’s 33rd birthday on Nov. 6. In the first throwback from 2018, Hannah tagged her “literal wife” as they sipped cocktails with one another, and in the second, Hannah reminded Paige that she “inspired [her] to start painting [her] nails.”
In a follow-up shot of the friends in New York City, Hannah wrote, “This was the third one and I don’t know where the hell we are and why I went for this jumpsuit.” She continued over photo booth-style snapshots, “Happy bday cheers to laughing another year at everything because we are idiots.”
Later, Paige supported Hannah by sharing a backstage video as Hannah took her standup comedy to NYC’s Carnegie Hall. As she wrote, “[Hannah] on stage at Carnegie and both of her life partners are watching in awe,” referring to the comedian sitting beside her, Des Bishop.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
star Heather Gay opens up about her exit from the Mormon church in the forthcoming three-part Bravo documentary Surviving Mormonism, in which she also sheds lights on divisive topics including conversion therapy.
The reality star, 51, departed the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints when she joined the cast of the Bravo series in 2020.
The Carmel-by-the-Sea, California-born TV personality told People on Tuesday that she felt spiritually fulfilled by putting together the documentary about the church.
‘I never thought that being an antagonist to my faith and identity and family and community would feel this empowering and fulfilling, but it does,’ the Brigham Young University alum said.
Gay said she felt ‘compelled to do more’ to spread awareness toward issues she feels needs the public’s attention.
The Bravo docuseries also features interviews conducted with former members of the Mormon church.
‘I feel very, very precious about these survivors, about their willingness to share with me,’ Gay said. ‘They’re telling a Real Housewife their darkest secrets.
‘That takes a leap of faith, and I feel such a kinship to them.’
Gay credited the 2016 Leah Remini doc Scientology and the Aftermath as an inspiration in turning her own personal experience with the Mormon church into a documentary.
‘I thought what she did was so important and, in a legitimate way, giving visibility and a platform to voices that were silenced,’ Gay said. ‘That was very similar to my experience when I left the Mormon church.’
Gay said she ‘didn’t really realize how similar that experience was until [she] left.’
Gay said she especially appreciated Remini’s work in looking back on her own experiences with faith, and how she couldn’t necessarily see the entirety of the situation.
‘When I was in it, rainbows and unicorns, great,’ Gay said. ‘But when you leave and when you draw a line in the sand, I recognized and heard for the first time really just an onslaught of people’s experiences that were about surviving Mormonism.’
Gay continued: ‘If you’re in it, you don’t hear of those stories. You don’t speak of them. No one talks about them.
‘They are sidelined and silenced and made to disappear. The second you leave, you’re hearing it for the first time. I was hearing criticisms of the church for the first time.’
Gay said last month in an Instagram post that she was ‘deeply grateful to the brave participants who shared their stories of faith and survival for this docuseries. I know when you hear them you will feel the same.’
The reality star told People that she felt ostracized upon departing the religious institution.
She has past opened up about that experience in her books Bad Mormon (2023) and Good Time Girl (2024).
Gay, upon her departure from the church, said she ‘felt obligated’ and ‘a deep responsibility’ to share stories of experiences she had while an active member.
‘Leaving has taught me and exposed me to so many people that had stories to tell and wanted to share that with me,’ Gay said.
She added, ‘I suddenly had this opportunity to meet people from all over the world that wanted to share their stories with me, and that felt very powerful and inspiring.’
Gay stressed to People that she wasn’t trying to slam the institution, but just rather shed light on crucial things that have happened on their watch.
‘I don’t think this is a show about tearing down the church,’ Gay said. ‘I think this is a show about giving space to survivors that experience the shadow side of something that we all find fascinating, but no one ever talks about.
‘It’s not about the church. It’s about what people that survived the church have to say now.’
Said Gay: ‘I think the church should be worried about the show because the church says that they stand for truth and righteousness and love and humanity.’
Surviving Mormonism with Heather Gay is slated to debut Tuesday on Bravo at 9:45 p.m. ET.
