Early Life & Education

Natalie Tynika Nunn was born on December 26, 1984, in Concord, California, USA. She grew up primarily in Pleasanton, California, in a working-class family environment.

Her parents are Karen Nunn (mother) and Earl Nunn (father). Karen worked multiple jobs to support the family, while Earl has been described in some accounts as having faced challenges, including incarceration during parts of Natalie‘s childhood.

The family emphasized hard work and resilience, which influenced Natalie‘s ambitious personality. Natalie has one sibling, an older brother named Ronald Nunn, who maintains a private life away from the public eye.

Regarding ethnicity, Natalie has a mixed background. Sources consistently describe her as having African-American (from her father’s side), Puerto Rican (primarily from her mother’s biological roots), and Brazilian heritage.

Some accounts also mention additional European influences (e.g., Irish or French) through adoption or family lines, but she has publicly identified with her Black, Puerto Rican, and Brazilian roots. She was raised in a Christian family.

For education, Natalie attended Aragon High School in San Mateo, California, where she excelled athletically, competing on the track team and in the 2002 Junior Olympics. She later attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a soccer scholarship, playing as a defender for the Trojans women’s soccer team (appearing in five games in 2004).

Reports vary on whether she fully graduated—some sources state she earned a degree in sociology or communications, while others note she left to pursue television opportunities—but USC athletic records confirm her enrollment and participation.

Career

Natalie Nunn rose to national attention with her breakout on Season 4 of Oxygen’s Bad Girls Club (2009–2010), where her outspoken personality and quotable one-liners helped drive the show to some of the highest ratings in network history.

She leveraged that momentum into a central presence within the franchise, returning for Bad Girls Club: Redemption in 2014 and appearing on spin-offs including Love Games: Bad Girls Need Love Too (Season 2), Bad Girls All-Star Battle (Season 1), and Hair Battle Spectacular.

She later expanded her reach to the international market as a housemate on the 2018 season of the UK’s Celebrity Big Brother.

Beyond onscreen appearances, Nunn began shaping her own media projects, hosting the talk show The Tea Party with Natalie Nunn in 2012 and eventually becoming a driving creative force behind the Zeus Network.

Since 2021, she has starred in and executive-produced the hugely popular Baddies franchise, which has evolved into a sprawling reality television universe with multiple regional editions, including Baddies ATL, Baddies South, Baddies West, Baddies East, Baddies Caribbean, Baddies Midwest, Baddies Africa, and Baddies Gone Wild.

In 2025, she expanded the series further with Baddies USA, an all-stars edition that brought back notable fan favorites and served as a milestone moment in her career. She has also directed selected Baddies productions, strengthening her influence behind the camera.

Nunn has pursued music as well, releasing tracks and remixes such as “Pose For Me” and unveiling both new videos and plans for a Baddies rap album.

Alongside her entertainment projects, she has built an entrepreneurial portfolio that includes Natalie Nunn Cosmetics, the fitness line Fit by Paynes/No Payne No Gain, the hair extension company Journey’s Hair, the cannabis label Baddie Blunts, and her signature Baddie Baddie Pink Tequila.

Through her combined work in reality television, production, music, and branding, she has established herself as a durable and commanding figure in modern pop culture.

Personal Life

Natalie Nunn is 41 years old, having been born on December 26, 1984.

She has been married once to Jacob Payne, a former Arena Football League player with the Arizona Rattlers. The couple met in September 2011 in Detroit, Michigan; began dating in October 2011; got engaged in April 2012; and married on May 5, 2012.

Their wedding was featured on two episodes of the reality show Bridezillas. They remain married, having celebrated over 13 years together, despite occasional public rumors and appearances on shows like Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars.

Natalie and Jacob have one child, a daughter named Journey Ruth Payne, born on April 16, 2017. The couple experienced a miscarriage in early 2015 after announcing a pregnancy in late 2014, but welcomed Journey following a successful pregnancy announced in 2016.

Journey has become a young entrepreneur, with her own children’s haircare line called Journey’s Hair, co-launched with her mother.

Her dating history prior to marriage includes a long-term relationship with actor Olamide Faison (2003–2009), brief romances with rapper Wiz Khalifa (2010), NFL player Vernon Davis (2010), and NBA player Ty Lawson (2009–2010), as well as rumored encounters with others like Chris Brown.

Since marrying Jacob Payne, she has been committed to him, though unverified cheating rumors have surfaced periodically in tabloids and on social media.

Net Worth

Natalie Nunn‘s net worth is estimated at $4 million, according to reputable sources like Celebrity Net Worth and recent reports citing the same figure in connection with her role in Baddies USA.

Estimates vary across sources—ranging from $1 million to $4 million—due to differences in calculation methods and inclusion of assets.

Her wealth has grown significantly from earlier figures around $1 million in 2024, largely driven by her executive producer and starring role in the highly successful Zeus Network Baddies franchise, which includes multiple seasons and spin-offs.

Additional income streams include entrepreneurship (cosmetics, haircare via Journey’s Hair, clothing, cannabis products, and tequila), brand endorsements, social media influence, and occasional music ventures.

Nunn‘s luxurious lifestyle, featuring high-end fashion, a renovated closet reportedly costing hundreds of thousands, and luxury vehicles, reflects her financial success.
