Natalie Nunn

Background

Larger than life and with a bad girl attitude that refuses to die, Natalie Nunn is a star of our times. Born as Natalie Tynika Nunn to Karen and Earl Nunn on December 26, 1984, in Concord, California, Nunn was a keen sportswoman in her youth — competing in the Junior Olympics in 2002. Nunn’s interest in reality T.V. began at a young age with her love for the “Fear Factor” series. She made her debut on the fourth season of “Bad Girls Club” in 2009. She didn’t last long on the series, however, being let go following a physical altercation with several of her castmates. From 2010 to 2015, Nunn built up a steady body of reality television series work and increasingly gained notoriety as the bad girl on shows like “Marriage Boot Camp,” “Bad Girls All-Star Battle,” “Mother/Daughter Experiment,” “Tanisha Gets Married,” “Hair Battle Spectacular,” and “Bridezillas.”

With her love for fried chicken and romcoms like “Varsity Blues,” Nunn is still a down-to-earth and relatable celebrity. That didn’t boost her popularity on 2018’s “Celebrity Big Brother,” however, as she was the first cast member voted out of the show. Nunn’s ambitions have stretched beyond just being a reality T.V. star. In 2013, she released the autobiographical book “Turn Down For What” and a tell-all book titled “Straight Like That”. She’s an entrepreneur who runs the “No Payne No Gain” fitness brand and the “Natalie Cosmetics” line.

Following her checkered dating history with several well-known artists including Chris Brown and Whiz Khalifa, Nunn married football player Jacob Payne in 2012. After suffering a miscarriage, Nunn gave birth to the couple’s daughter, Journey, in 2017. As of 2022, Nunn keeps busy running her empire, modeling, and being a wife and mother.
