Actress Paige Hurd and Royce O’Neale, who play for the Phoenix Suns Are Engaged!
But this isn’t just your typical engagement, he’s engaged to his childhood crush!
DETAILS ON PAIGE HURD & ROYCE O’NEALE’S RELATIONSHIP
Royce and Paige met in January of 2024. During that time, Paige vowed to herself and her therapist that she wasn’t dating for a while. While she was fasting and on her walk with God, she met Royce.
“Nice as can be, but I just said we could be friends. After a while he won me over, and we have been truly inseparable ever since. That’s my best friend first.”
You probably remember Paige from ‘Beauty Shop’, who played the role of Queen Latifah’s daughter. Well, check this out. Royce shared he’s been crushing on her since watching her in TV shows and movies.
“She was my lifelong crush. Couple years ago me and my friends were talking, I mentioned to them one day I will meet her, date her and marry her. Of course they thought I was joking, but I was serious — it was just the fact we had to meet each other in person,” he said.
Paige also shared when she knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
“I’m beyond lucky and blessed. Royce is the most thoughtful, down-to-earth, gentle man I’ve ever known and I couldn’t be happier to spend the rest of my life with him. I believe deep down I knew for a while, but for sure in August of last year.”
On Jan. 1, New Year’s Day, O’Neale publicly confirmed his romance with Paige by sharing several holiday photos on Instagram.

Royce O’Neale and Paige Hurd announced their engagement to People magazine where they revealed he popped the big question at their romantic getaway that took place in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on February 13th.
They reported that their dinner included rose petals, candlelights to set the mood, and a cozy fireplace. When dessert rolled out, a slice of red cake came with the big question on the plate: “Will You Marry Me?”
I was feeling nervous because I wasn’t trying to give off any nerve-wracking behavior or give any signs that something was up,” O’Neale explained. “I was really excited because I knew Paige wasn’t expecting it and wanted it to be a huge, special surprise.”
