Josh Peck and his wife Paige O’Brien announced their second child’s birth on Instagram on Sunday, June 5. O’Brien, a short-film cinematographer, published a photo of her baby belly, which received over 19,000 likes, including one from acclaimed YouTuber Casey Neistat. While his wife posed in a long pink gown, Peck commented in the comments section:
“Is it my or not mine?”
The couple had their first child, son Max Milo, in December 2018. In 2021, the couple celebrated their son’s third birthday. Meanwhile, despite earlier charges and feuds, Drake Bell’s wife Janet Von Schmeling used a love emoji to show her support for O’Brien.

Josh Peck and Page O’Brien’s relationship
While the details of their relationship are unknown, Peck and O’Brien made news in 2016 as a pair. Numerous outlets covered the news of their engagement at the time. Josh Peck proposed to Paige O’Brien in Paris in March 2016, according to Insider Lyfe. According to the magazine, Peck got down on one knee at the Eiffel Tower. On June 17, 2017, the couple married one year after their engagement. The wedding ceremony was a quiet and intimate affair with just a few guests in attendance. Some of the attendees’ social media photographs revealed that Josh Peck’s Grandfathered co-star John Stamos was in attendance.
However, the couple’s wedding created much controversy when Peck’s Drake & Josh co-star Drake Bell was said to have been excluded from the former’s wedding. Bell tweeted at the time:
“The message is obvious when you aren’t invited to the wedding. Today’s true colors have shown. The message is plain and loud. Ties have been severed. “I’ll miss you, bro…”
This sparked animosity between them, leading to other difficulties down the road.
All about Paige O’Brien
O’Brien edited and filmed a couple of short films in 2013 and 2014, according to her IMDb biography. While little is known about Peck’s wife, the 35-year-old actor has said that she prefers solitude from public attention. In March, Peck referenced the issue between him and Bell on the BFF podcast:
“I’m getting married that night, and I see these text messages from him as if he’s cursing me out and coming after me.” On my wedding night… I’m not concerned about myself. It’s just… whatever. I agreed to be a public figure. That’s all there is to it. But here’s my wife, who’s being ripped apart on the Internet. And I’m thinking to myself, “She’s private, and she just got married.”
This implies that the couple’s choice to stay fairly private may be due to Paige O’Brien’s preferences.
The first child of Josh Peck and Paige O’Brien
The couple revealed that they were expecting their first child 14 months after their wedding. Peck rushed to Instagram to post a snapshot of himself and his wife, both of whom were carrying a baby. Max, the couple’s kid, was nearly four years old when he was born in December 2018.
