It would be rude to say James Harden’s baby mama Paije Speights is an NBA pass-around, so I’ll just say she has a type.
In a recent episode of Season 2 of Netflix’s “Starting 5” series, James revealed he has a son named Jace Harden.
James kept Jace hidden from NBA fans for 7 years. He didn’t reveal who Jace’s mom is, but he did announce he’s expecting a baby boy with Paije.
Some of you are already familiar with Paije. She’s been around the NBA block a few times.

She shares a 7-year-old son named Prynce Almario Chalmers with 2-time NBA champion and former Miami Heat star Mario Chalmers (pictured left and right with Paije).
In a recent Instagram Stories, Paije uploaded video of her son playing outside with his toys – a hammer and some water bottles.
“He get on my nerves but I love him soo much,” she wrote in the video caption. Paije and Mario share custody of Prynce.
In the video, Prynce plays with his water bottles then runs at the camera with his hammer held over his head. Paije asks him what he’s doing and tells him to hand over the hammer.
She then asks him to pick up his water bottles and go in the house.
She also uploaded a picture of Prynce sitting quietly in the car as he goes to his father’s house for visitation.
She accompanied the photo with a teary-eyed emoji.

Rumors of James and Paije dating first started in early 2024. The Los Angeles Clippers star confirmed his relationship with the aspiring fashion designer after he shared pictures of her on his Instagram story. Since then, they have been inseparable.
She is seen in nearly every frame with James in Netflix’s “Starting 5” series.
She even accompanied him to China where he went to play in a charity game for NBA icon Yao Ming. Paije sent James a message on Instagram for his 35th birthday.

Paije also dated former NBA star Lou Williams.
