Who is Paige Hurd?
Paige Audrey-Marie Hurd, born 20e July 1992, in Dallas, Texas, USA, is a feisty actress of African American and Puerto Rican descent, perhaps best known for her long-lasting role as Tasha Clarkson in “Everybody Hates Chris”. The goddaughter of the well-known late rapper DMX is 5ft 4in (1.63m) tall and weighs approximately 115lbs (53kgs), with vital stats of 34-25-36.
Paige’s family and early life
We have no information about Paige’s father, but we do know that her mother, Cheryl Martin, is the CEO of CMA Entertainment, a prestigious talent management company and production company that prides itself on its diversity.
Paige grew up with her four siblings, all of whom preferred to evade the public eye. She attended Indian Creek Elementary School and then graduated from University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her interest in the acting world was evident from an early age as she also studied at the Dallas Young Actors’ Studio.
From the age of eight, Paige juggled her first roles with her studies, while at the same time maintaining a close relationship with her family.
Paige’s first roles
In 2000, Paige first appeared on our TV screens as Natasha in an episode of “Felicity”.
Two years later, she was seen in the pilot episode of the interesting early 2000s crime series “Boomtown”, playing Grace Adams. The show would go on to win several awards and spawn household names such as Donnie Wahlberg.
Slowly but surely, Paige bolstered her acting resume with roles in the children’s series ‘George López’ and the gritty action movie “Cradle 2 The Tomb”. It’s worth noting that Paige met rapper DMX and his then-wife Tashera Simmons on set, and they soon adopted her into their family and made her their goddaughter. Over time, Paige referred to DMX as “pops” and treated him like a father figure.
Paige’s Notable Roles
From 2006 to 2009, Paige appeared in more than a dozen episodes of the hit series “Everybody Hates Chris”. Her character, Tasha Clarkson, was born in early 1970 and befriends Chris after she becomes his neighbor. Although Chris falls in love with Tasha, she insists on just remaining friends and does not date him until the show’s fourth season. Interestingly, Chris notes that Tasha is the only girl who doesn’t hate him. Eventually, Tasha breaks up with Chris, and Paige’s role on the show ended soon after.
Other notable roles include Paige’s interpretation of Samantha Grove in “Hawaii 5.0” between 2013 and 2017.
The talented actress lent her talents to seven episodes of the cop series over the years, further cementing her standing in the industry.
While appearing in “Hawaii 5.0”, Paige also starred in the 2015 production “A Girl Like Grace”, a drama written and directed by Ty Hodges in which an adolescent from a dysfunctional family turns to her best friend and her older sister turns for help with bullying. Starring Meagan Good, Ryan Destiny and other seasoned black entertainment industry actors, the PG-13 movie was popular with its target audience and received good reviews.
Last but not least, one of Paige’s most recent projects was working on a set of 50 Cent’s “Power Book II: Ghost”. By the end of 2021, the young actress has appeared in 20 episodes as Lauren Baldwin, a Stansfield University freshman with strong moral values and a turbulent romantic life who has a clandestine affair with Tariq, the main character.
Paige’s past relationships
After being in the industry for several years, it’s no surprise that Paige has been romantically linked to several socialites and celebrities. Her first relationship in the public eye came in 2007 when she started dating DJ Scott; though the couple separated two years later, she soon found comfort in Snoop Dogg’s son Cordell C. Broadus.
Following her divorce from Cordell in 2010, it is reported that Paige started dating rap mogul Diddy’s son Justin Combs soon after. Other sources claim that Paige also dated artist Lil Twist and Steph Jones in the same year. There’s no way we can verify these rumors because Paige doesn’t like to reveal many details about her private life, and the most we’ve ever seen of her with her exes is the occasional photo.
It seemed that Paige had finally found true love in October 2013, after she started a relationship with a basketball player Maurice Harklessbut the attractive couple broke up in early 2015, but they have rekindled their relationship at least two or three times, and reputable gossip blogs confirm that they have been on and off for about eight years.
Harkless, who has a net worth of nearly $9 million, has never spoken publicly about Paige and the actress has returned the favor.
For now, Paige is single and working hard on her acting career and social media endorsements. Her hobbies include working out at the gym, vacationing on sunny yachts and creating stylish fashion looks that she shares with her 1.4 million Instagram followers.
Earlier this year, Paige penned her longtime boyfriend and rumored ex-Quincy Brown a heartfelt social media post with several photos to celebrate his 30e birthday.
She said, “I love you. I’m proud of you. I’m glad I have you in my life. I wish I could be with you today to celebrate such a milestone.” Paige and Quincy are unlikely to have dated, especially after she dated his brother Justin Combs, but the pair go way back and have known each other for more than ten years Since then, Paige has not posted anyone else on her Instagram profile.
Paige’s net worth
Several reliable sources confirm that Paige’s net worth is close to $2 million, thanks to her roles in popular productions and social media endorsements. A diligent worker who usually stays out of the drama, it’s no surprise that Paige was able to amass this wealth as she’s not a particularly material person, despite her penchant for designer bags.
