Exploring the Journey of Paige & Royce’s Relationship
According to PEOPLE, Paige Hurd and Royce O’Neale first crossed paths at the beginning of 2024. Earlier this January, Paige caused quite a stir on social media when holiday pictures surfaced featuring her and Royce looking cozy in matching pajamas. However, she quickly took to Instagram to dispel any rumors of pregnancy, clarifying that she was not expecting and that she is actually older than Royce.
“I’m not pregnant. I’m older than Royce… The End,” the actress firmly stated.
Despite the swirling rumors and Paige’s clear statements, Royce shared with PEOPLE that he had been infatuated with her for quite some time, having grown up watching her in various television shows and movies.
“She was my lifelong crush. A couple of years ago, my friends and I were talking, and I mentioned to them that one day I would meet her, date her, and marry her. Of course, they thought I was joking, but I was serious — it was just a matter of time before we met in person,” he expressed.
