California native Natalie Nunn has made a name for herself (as well as a whole lot of money) while building a career in reality television. We were first introduced to her in 2004 on “Bridezillas” until she starred in season 4 of “Bad Girls Club” in 2010. Getting kicked off the show for a physical altercation, she’s known for being boisterous and outspoken, the first housemate to be evicted from 2018’s “Celebrity Big Brother” while landing herself in a threesome scandal amongst her costars.
Married since 2012, Nunn’s husband Jacob Payne has stuck by the reality TV star’s side even when many else threw in the towel. They certainly haven’t been free of their own explosive moments and rumors, though the two have always seemed to find their way back home to one another.
Who Is Jacob Payne?
A former soccer star, Jacob Payne was born July 18, 1990, in Detroit, Michigan, where he played college soccer at Central Michigan University. He later joined the Arena League team Arizona Rattlers, though he moved on to play abroad in countries like Brazil after marrying Nunn.
Blending lifestyles, Nunn even brought Payne into the reality show world, where the two appeared together on “Bridezillas” and on season four of “Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars 2.” Their wedding had its very own special, showcasing every meltdown and argument until they eventually fought their way to the altar. While they certainly haven’t been shy about showcasing the good, bad, and ugly of their romance, it’s only made them stronger.
Scandal and Loss
While the couple suffered a devastating miscarriage in 2015, Nunn gave birth to their daughter, Journey Ruth Payne, in April of 2017. The child has garnered over 70k followers on Instagram and lives a happy, healthy life. While this could have been their happily ever after, the two have fought through much scandal and strife since. Nunn has been accused of infidelity several times over, as videos surfaced of her and Curtis Golden being intimate, and Fivio Foreign publicly accusing her of cheating on her husband.
While many have speculated whether or not the two have agreed upon an open marriage, ultimately, nothing has broken them apart. They’ve posted their family vacations and courtside dates on Instagram, with Payne even writing her a heartfelt Mother’s Day note. “Thanks for always helping me to remember what is important in life… and today its YOU,” he writes. “Happy Mothers Day Nat. Thanks for all your care, love, and support… Journey and I are BLESSED to have you.”
