SOCIAL media star Paige Spiranac is confident she’s made her parents “proud” during her rapid rise to fame.
Spiranac boasts a mammoth online following and in 2022 was named the Sexiest Woman Alive by Maxim.
A former D-1 golf pro, Paige’s social media success has seen her profile skyrocket in recent years.
And she’s been provided with the perfect base by her athletic parents Dan and Annette.
Spiranac’s father was a star in college himself, with his success coming on the football field.
Hailing from Croatia, Dan attended the University of Pittsburgh and played for the Panthers.
In 1976, he was a member of the UOP team led by star rusher Tony Dorsett that won the national championship.
While Paige’s mom Annette has previously wowed fans with her youthful appearance, with some even believing her to be Paige’s “twin.”
A former ballerina and lingerie model, Annette is a regular contributor to Paige’s online content.
“So when I got into it, it was never an issue. My mom is highly involved in my content, she shoots a lot of my pictures, she shot my calendar.
“It’s never really been anything that’s seen as being bad, it’s a business and they’re proud of me for being financially independent and building a successful business.”
The Spiranac sporting genes have also been passed down to Spiranac’s big sister, Lexie.
She is a heptathlete and Taekwondo black belt, with Paige’s sibling having the “advantages” in athletic prowess.
Paige explained: “The thing about Lexie is that she’s extremely smart.
“She was a black belt in Taekwondo. She’s taller than me.
“She’s stronger than me. And so I never had any advantage over her.”
But Lexie revealed her own feelings in a revealing podcast, telling Paige: “I was jealous of you because of the attention mom and dad gave you because of your exceptional abilities in sports. That was my problem.”
Lexie, 39, received a college athletic scholarship and competed on Stanford’s track and field team.
She won the state championship in high jump in 2007, before studying for a Bachelor of Arts in Communication.
The Spiranac sisters have now joined forces, with Paige revealing on her podcast Playing A Round that Lexie is part of her media team.
Paige explained: “For people who don’t know, Lexi is part of my team. She works with me.
