Personal Life
Paulie is not gay at all. Paulie’s love life even has been a rollercoaster. He’s in a relationship with Massachusetts native Cara Maria Sorbello, whom he met in 2018 on MTV’s The Challenge: Final Reckoning. Their relationship has had its ups and downs, including a scandal involving Paulie’s infidelity with ex-girlfriend Daniella Maltby.
Before Cara, Paulie dated Bachelor contestant Danielle Maltby, starting on January 29, 2018. Without any public breakup, he began dating Cara in June 2018. Additionally, his past romance with Zakiyah Everette also caught media attention.
Career And Occupations
Paulie’s career isn’t confined to reality TV. Besides being a prominent figure in that sphere, he’s also a DJ, model, and personal trainer. Before stepping into the Big Brother house, the reality star had a career as a DJ, joining Vesey Entertainment in 2005 to spin the decks.
His journey took a new turn when he became a houseguest on Big Brother’s 18th season. During his time on the show, he found himself on the nomination block three times. His stay was cut short during week 8, when he was sent packing under the Head of Household (HOH) rule enforced by Victor.
His passion for fitness has also become a significant part of his life in recent years. As the co-owner of Sweat Elite Fitness and creator of “Calafiore 360 Fitness,” Paulie’s influence extends beyond the screen into the world of personal training and wellness.
