When it comes to the online firestorm surrounding Paige Spiranac's social media presence, one voice stands firmly in her corner: her mom, Annette Spiranac. And she's not just offering moral support—she's behind the camera for many of those shots.
Annette, who celebrated her birthday recently, has a history in front of the lens herself. She worked as a bikini and lingerie model early in her career, which gives her a unique perspective on her daughter's content. According to Paige, her mother's background means there's never been any family drama over the photos that sometimes draw criticism online.
“Yeah, they’re really proud. It has never really been an issue for my parents; my mom was a model, she did lingerie and bikini shoots,” Paige has said. “My dad was dating my mom while she was working and they see it as work.”
That support goes beyond words. Annette is actively involved in producing Paige's content, helping to shoot many of the images that appear on her social feeds. “My mom is highly involved in my content; she shoots a lot of my pictures, she shot my calendar,” Paige revealed.
The timing of this family solidarity is notable. Paige recently took a break from social media, citing anxiety and a “funky rut” that had her overthinking every post. She opened up about the struggle, saying she felt trapped in her own head and needed to step back to regain her footing. But she's back now, and her mother's birthday tribute was one of her first posts after the hiatus.
“It’s my mom’s birthday today! Everyone wish her a happy birthday 💕,” Paige wrote on X, sharing a beautiful photo of the two of them. The post quickly racked up millions of views, proving that the Spiranac family remains a powerful draw for fans. In fact, that birthday photo hit 1 million views within hours, showing the enduring appeal of their mother-daughter bond.
Of course, not everyone is a fan. Paige has faced backlash over her content, including criticism of her behavior at events like The Internet Invitational. But she's learned to tune out the noise, especially knowing her mom has her back. “My mom is highly involved,” she reiterated, underscoring that the person who knows her best is also her biggest cheerleader.
For fans who've followed Paige's journey, this isn't surprising. The golfer and influencer has always been open about her family's role in her career. Her heartwarming tribute to her mom is just the latest example of how tight-knit the Spiranacs are. And with Annette's modeling background, the apple clearly didn't fall far from the tree.
So while the internet may debate Paige's content, one thing is crystal clear: her mom is on board 100 percent. And that's all the validation she needs.
