Paige Shiver Tearfully Shares Loss of Baby Amid Explosive Sherrone Moore Affair
Paige Shiver, the former assistant and mistress of disgraced University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore, revealed in a tearful interview that she lost their unborn child after a rare genetic disorder forced a medical decision.
On Good Morning America, Shiver, 32, detailed how she became pregnant during her years-long affair with Moore but was advised by multiple doctors—and supported by Moore himself—to terminate the pregnancy after she was diagnosed with Pompe Disease, a serious genetic condition threatening her health.
“Multiple doctors and experts told me that it wouldn’t be right or healthy for me to keep the baby,”
Shiver said, adding that Moore told her, “You have to do what’s right for your body.”
From Affair to Fear: Turmoil Behind the Michigan Football Scandal
Shiver also opened up about the tumultuous end of their relationship in December, when Moore, 40, broke into her home threatening self-harm after she exposed their affair to Michigan University officials. The coach was fired days later from his lucrative $5.5 million-a-year position after the school cited an “inappropriate relationship” with staff.
According to Shiver, she initially believed she was in love with Moore but later realized the dangerous reality — fearing for her safety when he confronted her at home.
“I did, but obviously looking back at things and really reflecting on what happened… it’s not love at all,”
she said, describing the harrowing moment when Moore held butter knives and scissors and threatened to harm himself.
