Bueckers was raised in Minnesota with her father after her parents divorced when she was three.

Her father later remarried, and Paige's stepmother, Katie Houser, played an integral part in her upbringing and athletic development.

Although Paige doesn't seem to be the typical consumer of gospel music, social media users have speculated that her stepmother helped foster her love for the genre.

Essence magazine followers appreciated the platform, whose main demographic is Black Women, choosing to feature Paige. Commenters expressed their support for the athlete by writing things like, " We rock with Paige because Paige rocks with us!" "The Black Stepmom effect," and "My sister in Christ, Paige."
