Paige Shiver, the former assistant and mistress for former Michigan Wolverines head football coach Sherrone Moore, revealed that she lost Moore’s baby during an exclusive interview with Good Morning America.
Shiver, 32, said she became pregnant during her years-long affair with the married father of three, but was urged by doctors and Moore to end her pregnancy after she was diagnosed with the rare genetic disorder Pompe Disease.
“Multiple doctors and experts told me that it wouldn’t be right or healthy for me to keep the baby,” Shiver said while wiping away tears.
Moore advised Shiver, “You have to do what’s right for your body,” when she approached him about the situation. The former assistant admitted she thought she was in love with Moore at the time of the affair.
“I did [love him], but obviously looking back at things and really reflecting on what happened, what was happening … It’s not love at all,” she said before addressing the incident in which he stormed into her house and threatened to harm himself, leading to his arrest, in December.
Moore was sentenced to 18 months’ probation on Tuesday. The ruling came one month after Moore agreed to plead no contest to two new misdemeanor charges as part of a deal to drop a previous felony count and two separate misdemeanors.
Prosecutors agreed to drop the initial, more serious charges in exchange for Moore pleading no contest to two new misdemeanor charges of malicious use of a telecommunication device in a domestic relationship and trespassing.
“I don’t believe, when I look at the entirety of this situation, that incarceration should be appropriate,” said District Court Judge Cedric Simpson during Tuesday’s sentencing in Washtenaw County Court via ESPN. “I warn you Mr. Moore, should there be a violation, all bets are off. I don’t like sending people to jail, but I don’t have a problem doing it.”
Simpson said he appreciated the situation Shiver faced on the night of the incident.
“Frankly Mr. Moore, you had no right to do what you did,” Simpson said. “I know she was placed in fear. It was a traumatic experience for you — it was certainly a traumatic experience for her — but you had no right to spread your pain to her.”
Moore went 16-8 during his tenure as Michigan’s head coach, which included a non-conference win against Bowling Green, as well as three wins against Penn State, Maryland and Ohio State credited to former head coach Jim Harbaugh during the 2023 national championship season when Moore served as acting head coach in Harbaugh’s absence due to a suspension. The former guard replaced Harbaugh when the latter accepted the head coaching position with the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers in 2024 and went 8-5 (5-4 Big Ten) during his first season and 7-3 (6-2 Big Ten) in 2025.
