The NBA fans likely had a blast of a New Year with Royce O’Neale dropping a hard launch with girlfriend Paige Hurd. The pictures sent the far-fetched rumor mill running that the couple was expecting. The American actress did not take much time to shut down speculations in her latest post on Instagram.

Earlier this week, Royce O’Neale posted a holiday dump, slyly adding pictures with his girlfriend in the series. The picture featured the NBA star matching attire with Paige Hurd as the two posed in a cream sweater and plaid red pants.

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.

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.
