Almost instantly, O’Neale’s massive following hit the spam button alleging that Hurd was pregnant. The rumors reached the couple sooner than expected and the Everybody Hates Chris actress had a hilarious way of addressing it. In a short and sweet message, she posted a story declining the claims.

I’m not pregnant. I’m older than Royce… The End.

The 32-year-old actress also joked that she was older than her Pheonix Suns boyfriend. Post that story, she uploaded a picture collage featuring herself with O’Neale. The couple matched in blue denim and white sweatshirts. With the amount of content the two have given the fans, the actress humored that it was enough for the whole year. The fans likely got no complaints, not every day does Royce O’Neale come public with his relationships.

Apart from his off-court success, the NBA athlete is having an incredible season in the league. Playing his eighth season, O’Neale is more on the court than on the benches. However, it is only his second with the Suns, suffice it to say a good decision by the team.

Fans frenzied over Royce O’Neale’s girlfriend Paige Hurd

Royce O’Neale’s post hard-launching Paige Hurd was met with sheer surprise and utter shock by the fans. To say it was an unexpected turn of events for them would be an understatement. It comes after the public had no hunch on the NBA player’s romantic life.

Regardless, the people wished them luck as the new year began. X, however, was another story of the NBA fans having a field day with their post. Here are some of the reactions:

The picture was initially posted on Royce O’Neale’s Instagram handle. With amazement over the couple’s association, the fans joked about his game off-court.

The Suns’ star is in his first season of the $42 million contract. It seemed to be playing well for the team as well as O’Neal with the expectation that the power forward would soon return from his ankle sprain.
