The Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F actress Taylour Paige recalls that her parents, Cheryl Boutte and Reginald Paige, were strict and describes his mother as the more dominant figure in the household.
So, it makes sense that the actress calls her mother her curriculum and conductor of her everyday world. However, Paige mentions that her mom’s assertiveness has influenced her in both good and bad ways.
When her parents divorced after eight years of marriage, Taylour Paige grew up with her older brother, Travis, in their mother’s care. That being said, Taylour Paige maintains a close bond with both of her parents to this day.
Every now and then, including on special occasions, Paige takes to Instagram to showcase her love for her parents in lengthy post captions.

Reginald Paige is a retired Police Sergeant/Investigator in the Los Angeles Police Department who served for over 28 years, according to his LinkedIn profile. Apart from that, not much information is available except for his pension, which is almost $110K per annum.
On the other hand, her mother, Cheryl Boutte, was born to her mother, Mary Lucille, who is originally from Louisiana and celebrates her birthday on July 7.
In an interview with the New York Times, Taylour Paige revealed that her mother gave birth to her at the age of 40 years old.

When asked about her source of spirituality, she gave credit to her mom, saying, “Seeing the way my mom asserted herself and lived [affected] me in a good way and a bad way.”
Further talking about her dance career before acting, the Beverly Hills Cop actress explained that it had become something she was doing for her mother. She wanted to stop but could not because of her scholarship and mother.
