In an exclusive first report, beloved Hollywood actress Paige Hurd and NBA veteran Royce O’Neale have officially tied the knot in a magical, fairy tale-themed wedding held at a secluded 10-acre vineyard estate in Malibu, California, last Saturday, surrounded by 250 of their closest family members, friends and industry peers.
Hurd, best known for her breakout role as Tasha Clarkson on *Everybody Hates Chris* and her fan-favorite turn as Lauren Baldwin in the *Power* franchise, walked down the aisle in a custom couture Galia Lahav gown adorned with hand-embroidered crystal details and a 12-foot tulle train, paired with diamond drop earrings gifted to her by her grandmother. O’Neale, the standout Phoenix Suns wing known for his defensive versatility and off-court philanthropic work, wore a tailored slim-fit Tom Ford tuxedo in deep navy, paired with white sneakers embroidered with the couple’s initials and their wedding date.
The outdoor ceremony took place at golden hour, under a sprawling arch draped in ivory garden roses, lavender sprigs and baby’s breath, with a string quartet performing instrumental versions of the couple’s favorite R&B tracks as Hurd walked down the aisle escorted by her stepfather. The pair wrote their own vows, with Hurd tearing up as she promised O’Neale “a lifetime of bad movie nights, spontaneous road trips and unwavering support through every win and loss”, while O’Neale told his new wife “you’ve been my rock through every high and low of my career, and I can’t wait to build our forever together.”
Celebrity guests included Hurd’s *Power Book II: Ghost* co-stars Mary J. Blige, Michael Rainey Jr. and Method Man, as well as O’Neale’s Suns teammates Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and former Utah Jazz colleague Donovan Mitchell. The reception featured a five-course farm-to-table menu, a live 10-piece R&B band that performed the couple’s first dance song, Adele’s “Make You Feel My Love”, and a custom seven-tier wedding cake decorated with edible gold leaf and fresh peonies, the couple’s favorite flower.
A source close to the pair shared that the couple will depart for a two-week honeymoon in the south of France later this week, before returning to their home in Phoenix to settle into married life. “They’ve been together for three years, and waited to get married until they both felt their careers and personal lives were aligned,” the source shared. “This wedding was everything they dreamed of, and they’re so excited for what’s next.”

I’ve been stanning Paige since she was on *Everybody Hates Chris* as a kid! She’s always come across as such a kind, grounded person, and Royce seems like the perfect match for her. This fairy tale wedding is so well-deserved, wishing them a lifetime of happiness!
As a Phoenix Suns season ticket holder, I’ve seen Royce show up for local community events so many times over the past two years. He’s such a humble, hardworking guy, and I couldn’t be happier to see him marry the love of his life. The few leaked photos from the wedding look absolutely stunning!
Wait, Mary J. Blige and Method Man were both at the wedding? That’s the *Power* reunion I didn’t know I needed! Paige’s character Lauren has been through so much trauma on the show, it’s so beautiful to see her real life be full of so much joy and magic right now. Congrats to the newlyweds!
This is exactly the wholesome, drama-free celebrity content I sign up for. No messy breakups, no public feuds, just two people who clearly adore each other celebrating their love with all the people that matter most to them. What a perfect fairy tale wedding!
