The pair ultimately decided not to stay married on Decision Day. However, during the May 2021 reunion show, Chris and Paige revealed they had attended counseling in an attempt to fix the marriage. However, after things didn’t improve, the pair chose to divorce.

Following her time on the show, the accountant left with a “better understanding of who she is” and no longer speaks to her ex. 

“I’m not perfect, I never claim to be, but the reason I don’t want to speak on him is because there’s just nothing to speak about at this point,” she told Essence in November 2021. “He is a grown man and he can deal with his own actions accordingly, and I’ll handle mine as well. I don’t really have anything to say. Did I see it? Yes. Do I have a comment about it? No.”

Apart from traveling and purchasing a second home, Paige revealed during the Married at First Sight: Decision Day Dish in May 2022 that she was also writing a book.
