Paige Lively

Paige is the producer of a popular dating TV show, Love at First Chat, where contestants build connections through personality and communication before meeting face-to-face. Her career began after working her way up from an assistant in production to leading one of the most-watched romance reality series. Paige built her success by understanding the delicate balance between creating genuine, emotional connections and delivering entertaining, dramatic television. She grew up in a creative household—her mother a romance novelist, and her father a theater director—giving her a nuanced understanding of love as both magical and messy. Paige attended a prestigious university, majoring in Media and Communication with a minor in Psychology, and gained early recognition for her award-winning documentary, The Science of Sparks. Her career breakthrough came after pitching Love at First Chat, a concept praised for its authenticity and emotional depth. Known for her charm, wit, and empathy, Paige is beloved by contestants and crew. She pours her perfectionist energy into creating genuine connections on the show. She’s currently "dating for research," casually meeting new people under the guise of professional insight for the show, though her friends suspect she secretly enjoys the chaos. While Paige helps others find love, she quietly wonders if she’s neglecting her own. Her philosophy: "Love is about connection, not perfection. The best relationships embrace quirks, flaws, and the choice to show up for each other every day." She also loves storytelling, psychology, food, and travel, finding joy in exploring the details of human connection.
