Patti Reilly

amyb — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 12:52:02 GMT

I've followed her off and on on Social Media over the years, as I follow many people, local businesses, interests I have in all sorts of people/things ...always interesting to see what she was up to, as she's moved around a bit.

Before anyone says "they could care less about former QVC shopping hosts" blah blah, lol, ok, then, not for you.

I have the same interest as I have with anything else I follow on social media...they're just people, living their lives, or "curating one" for socials...either way...fun to see what others are up to.

Anyway, have to say, she seems happiest in her latest move to Florida, nearer to her mom, in a sweet little farmhouse type home, with chickens and goats, and her dog. She's in great shape, shares her strength training tips, some healthy eating tips, that I enjoy and have tried. Not sure about her work life, other than she's represented some beauty brand online, recently, and done media coaching as well.

Anyway, lately, so cute...she's befriended her elderly, widower neighbor, "Mr. Roy", who invites her out to dinner or lunch, it seems each week, and I'm sure loves having her for company. She posts about it...and it's sweet.

Just leaving this here, for anyone remotely interested.

I guess "Community Chat" no longer works, not sure why.

I scrolled through a bit of her IG account. She certainly looks happy.

Thanks for the update @amyb . I always liked her and was sorry to see her leave QVC.

I thought she did her job well and never minded watching her. It sounds like she has a very fulfilling life--nice to hear about.

Yes The c-chat has been wonky for weeks now---not a problem for me. Just wish QVC's IT team would get on top of these things--or maybe they need to hire a better team. Seems there is always something going on with it.

@amyb I always liked wataching Patti on QVC but never followed her on social media. It's such a common name. Where did you see all these updates? Facebook? Too. Many people with that name and I can't be bothered looking for it.

She's under "thepattiriley" on Instagram, so that should narrow it down for you; comes up right away. On Facebook its just Patti Riley. (probably there are a lot, but should be able to find her eventually) maybe if you put /Florida? Sometimes when I put a location when searching someone it narrows it down. Hope that helps.

Thank you for the update. I am always curious about these things as well. I'm glad she is happy.

She was a lovely host. Treated terribly by many on this forum. Like other slender, pretty hosts. Have never seen anyone tear down older, overweight hosts. Very telling.

That's a great picture of her @Desertdi . I always thought she was so pretty (regardless of her size) and she had (has) the BEST head of hair!!

Very pretty. Still is. I think back then...everyone was "in the shadow" of La Lisa. Not knocking Lisa's succss or popularity...just saying. Patti was every bit as pretty, not that that's the whole reason for anyone's success or popularity here, just mentioning it, as you were talking about her looks. Agree.

I recall that Patti worked, pre-QVC at one of our CT casinos, Foxwoods, when she lived right over the border then, in Rhode Island.

That's nice. I am glad that she seems to be doing well. She looks very pretty in that picture. If a remember correctly, at one point when she was at the Q, she was substantially heavier and after she lost a lot of weight, some people started really being snarky. I think she always did a wonderful job. Thanks for the update. A lot of us are interested in what former hosts are doing and how they are.

theresa — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 12:14:14 GMT

@amyb I found it her name is spelled REILLY not RILY that's why I couldn't find it.

Thanks I will read about her health tips!

@amyb @Desertdi

that is an interesting update. I have wondered from time to time where she went.

That picture of her she looks amazing.

SamBrown — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 19:21:54 GMT

@theresa that's because the OP doesn't have her name spelled correctly. It's Patti Reilly.

Corrected it. @theresa did find it. Doesn't show corrected on all the individual comments, but on the main page now I think it does.

Wasn't she heavier at one point? I remember the Koos guy being rude with her for some reason.

Beautiful, and a wonderful previous host.

Would love to see her back at the Q in some way. Vendor, etc.

Very well-spoken, too.
