Who Is Paige Mcgee? Seeking Sister Wife Star Arrested

Fans of "Seeking Sister Wife" on TLC were shocked this weekend when news broke that Bernie and Paige McGee had been arrested for felony stalking in Mississippi.

The would-be polygamist couple’s journey to find a sister wife to add to their family has been an emotional one but nothing audiences have seen on TV would indicate that there’s anything dangerous or criminal about this pair. However, off camera and on social media, it turns out that these two have a different history than what they portray on the show. Their relationship with their extended family is fraught with conflict and an on-going feud with Paige’s family may be the reason for their arrest.

Who is Paige McGee and why is she under indictment? Read on to learn more.

1. Mom

In their introduction on the show, Paige and Bernie tell audiences that they have been married for 17 years and have four kids. Two are Paige’s sons from a prior marriage, whom Bernie legally adopted when they got married. Those two boys are out on their own. They have two other sons who are living with them now.

They go on to explain that they always wanted more children but, after complications in her final pregnancy, Paige was told it would be too dangerous to have more babies.

2. Growing the family

The desire for more children is what really inspired Paige and Bernie to see out the polygamous lifestyle. They say they want a sister wife to grow their family and bring more children into the mix. Paige tells the audience that she was reading the Bible and found sections where men had multiple wives and came to the idea that she felt Bernie should take another wife.

Bernie agreed that this was their “calling” as a family and they should pursue the idea.
