Paige was born in Oklahoma on August 31, 1999. She was regularly seen playing on the Drummond ranch during filming for many episodes of "The Pioneer Woman." Like all of the Drummond kids, Paige was home-schooled, so there were plenty of opportunities for special appearances on the show.
During Season 3, Paige enjoys a sleepover with her close friends while devouring some of Ree's cinnamon-baked French Toast. While a teenager, Paige appeared on the 16th season of the show to make a grilled fruit pizza with her brother Bryce and marshmallow pops with her mom.
Paige's LinkedIn profile stated that she was a food and preparation assistant on "The Pioneer Woman" TV series from 2020 to 2022. This included episodes filmed during the Covid lockdown in 2020, which were made with the help of Alex, Paige, and Ree's nephew Stu.

It seems like yesterday when Paige went off to college at the University of Arkansas. While there, she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, the same sorority her mom chose. In 2022, she graduated with a degree in Human Environmental Sciences. Ree Drummond made sure to post lots of fun photos from the graduation day.
Paige Drummond's first major publicized relationship was with fellow University of Arkansas senior Mitchell Adams. In Episode 2 of Season 31 of "The Pioneer Woman," Paige and her then-boyfriend Mitchell appeared as guest stars. Their relationship went public in 2021, though it's unclear exactly when their romance ended.
It's easy to see how adorable a relationship Ree Drummond has enjoyed with her husband, Ladd, over the years. Along the way, fans have also watched sparks fly between Alex Drummond and her husband Mauricio. Though she became single again sometime before the end of 2023, it looks like Paige Drummond has also found love again recently.

In early January 2024, Ree Drummond posted on her Pioneer Woman blog about a New Year's Eve family trip to Vail, Colorado. She officially introduced fans to Paige's new boyfriend, David Anderson, who came along. Between skiing, celebrating New Year's Eve, and hanging out in matching pajamas, the post included a cute comment on Paige's new "friend."
It reads, "This is David. He's Paige's 'friend.' Not her friend, mind you. Her 'friend,'" she wrote. "I won't go into detail because that's Paige's place to do ... but the smile on her face might give you some idea of how Paige feels about her new friend. I mean 'friend.' I mean, I'm going to stop writing this caption now!" As usual, Ree seemed excited about Paige's new relationship and was quick to include David in the Drummond family fun.
