Career

Modelling

This win resulted in her being signed to the IMG modelling agency, and she was moved from Australia to New York, USA. Her success until this point was palpable, but the best was yet to come.
In 2005, she appeared in Real Swimsuit DVD Vol. 2 a swimsuit video for Maxim a men's magazine. The video did so well that Hollywood came knocking.

Engagement
She and Eddie have not yet tied the knot; however, they got engaged in September 2018, a few months before their son, Max, was born. The couple kept things very lowkey, and the only reason their engagement was leaked was after the paparazzi took a picture of her ring. While Paige has an impressive networth of $800,000, her spouse Eddie has amassed quite a fortune from his extensive career in comedy. He has in the reserves an impressive $200 million.
Controversy
Paige Butcher has denied several claims that she is involved with the businessman and hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, despite several pictures suggesting otherwise.
