Addison
Rae

Addison Rae Easterling was born on October 6, 2000, and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana. She is the daughter of Monty Lopez and Sheri Easterling and has two younger brothers, Enzo and Lucas, plus an older half-sister, Macye Neumeyer. She took her mother's maiden name at birth, which is why her last name is Easterling and not Lopez.

Addison Rae Easterling: A Dancer From Louisiana

She started dancing competitively at age six and travelled to competitions across the country. After school she briefly attended Louisiana State University, studying broadcast journalism with the idea of becoming a sports broadcaster. She left in November 2019 after her TikTok following exploded and moved to Los Angeles.

Her parents' on-and-off history

Her parents divorced when she was young, were on and off for years, remarried in 2017 and divorced again in 2022. Addison has said her father was not very present in her life when she was between three and six years old.

Addison joined TikTok in July 2019 and posted dance videos to trending songs. Within a few months she had more than a million followers. In December 2019 she joined the Hype House collective for a short time, and in January 2020 she signed with the talent agency WME.

Addison Rae and Charli D'Amelio

Addison Rae and Charli D'Amelio were the two names most tied to TikTok's first big wave. Both were early Hype House members alongside Dixie D'Amelio, Chase Hudson and others, and both went on to dominate 2020 rankings. Forbes named Addison the top-earning TikTok star of 2020, with about $5 million in a year, with Charli close behind.

2020: Podcast, music mentions and early fame

In July 2020 she launched a Spotify podcast with her mother called Mama Knows Best, later relaunched as That Was Fun?. The Kid Laroi released a viral song named "Addison Rae" in March 2020, and in January 2021 she donated $1 million in Mario Tennis tournament prize money to No Kid Hungry.

Addison Rae TikTok today

As of mid-2026 she has roughly 88 million TikTok followers, among the five most-followed people on the app. She posts much less than in her early days and has said she values privacy after feeling misunderstood online.

Addison's career runs across social media, music, film and TV, and business. The big turn came after 2023, when she moved from influencer to a credible pop act.

Music: from "Obsessed" to "Diet Pepsi"

Her 2021 debut single "Obsessed" got a cold response and her first project was shelved. After leaked songs gained fans, she released the AR EP in August 2023. "Diet Pepsi" arrived in August 2024, reached number 54 on the Hot 100 and went platinum in the US. Her debut album Addison debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, number two in the UK and number one in New Zealand, and was named album of the year by several outlets.

Acting and TV

She made her film debut as Padgett in Netflix's He's All That in 2021, a film that drew harsh reviews and that she has said made her rethink everything. She later appeared in Thanksgiving, Monster: The Ed Gein Story and the 2026 series Kevin as a voice guest. She is set to star in the animated comedy Animal Friends alongside Ryan Reynolds and Aubrey Plaza, scheduled for January 22, 2027.

Addison Rae and the Kardashians

Addison had a well-covered friendship with Kourtney Kardashian that was shown in the final season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians in 2021. She also appeared on The Kardashians in 2023. Charli D'Amelio had similar exposure, and media coverage often paired the two creators with the family.

Addison has built a fashion identity around a Y2K look and has also run beauty, fragrance and drink ventures. Not every launch lasted.

Addison Rae Sephora: the Item Beauty story

In 2020 she co-founded Item Beauty, a clean makeup and skincare line. It launched in all US Sephora stores and online on August 19, 2021, and she called it a childhood dream. In January 2023 reports said Sephora would drop the brand, with one source saying customers did not connect with it, and Item Beauty was discontinued by 2023.

Addison Rae fashion

Addison has appeared on covers of Vogue France, Rolling Stone, Elle, Billboard and W, and she starred in Saint Laurent's 2024 short film As Time Goes By. She was the face of the Marc Jacobs x Vaquera bag in 2024 and partnered with Lucky Brand on low-rise jeans in August 2025, adding shorts in March 2026. Her purple 2026 Grammys performance outfit is now shown in the Grammy Museum's red carpet exhibit.

Other business ventures

She launched a fragrance line in 2021 and a Berry Pop energy drink flavor with Alani Nu in 2022. She has also worked with Pandora, L'Oréal, Lululemon, Reebok and YSL Beauty. In 2024 she appeared in a Nerds commercial during the Super Bowl, and in 2026 she appeared in an Uber Eats Super Bowl ad with Bradley Cooper and Matthew McConaughey that featured Diet Pepsi. A Fortnite skin based on her look went on sale on August 6, 2026.

Addison keeps her love life mostly private. Her two known long relationships were with Bryce Hall and Omer Fedi, and as of October 2026 she has not confirmed a new partner.

Bryce Hall

She confirmed in October 2020 that she was in a relationship with fellow TikTok creator Bryce Hall. They broke up in 2021. She has said that this first public relationship made her very guarded about dating.

Omer Fedi

She was linked to Los Angeles musician and producer Omer Fedi from June 2021, and they went Instagram official in August 2021. ET reported on October 30, 2025 that they had quietly split a few months earlier, with no bad blood and her focus on her career.

Is Addison Rae dating anyone in 2026?

Reports as of early 2026 found no new relationship, and we did not find a confirmed one since. We do not list a partner.

Stepping back from social media

In 2025 she said she had felt very misunderstood after sharing so much of herself online and now values privacy. She has also said she does not want to be defined by early internet fame.

Addison's parents have been in the headlines almost as often as she has. Everything about their private lives below comes from press reports, and legal matters are allegations unless a court has ruled.

Sheri Easterling (Sheri Nicole Easterling)

Sheri Nicole Easterling is Addison's mother. She co-hosted the family podcast, built her own TikTok audience and has appeared in her daughter's projects. She and Monty Lopez married in 2004, divorced, remarried in 2017 and split again in 2022 after she alleged infidelity.

Sheri Easterling and Yung Gravy

In August 2022 Sheri attended the MTV VMAs as the date of rapper Yung Gravy and they kissed on the red carpet. Gravy said they met online and defended her against critics. Sources told ET and Us Weekly that the pair split not long after, calling it a brief, publicity-driven romance. Sheri was reported to be single afterward.

Monty Lopez

Monty Lopez, whose birth name is Manolito Juan Lopez, is Addison's father. In 2022 a woman named Renée Ash told Page Six she had a five-month relationship with him while he was still married to Sheri, which he did not directly answer. He remarried Kaitlyn Nicole Robins in Las Vegas in October 2025, two weeks after they reportedly met.

Monty Lopez OnlyFans

In September 2022 Dexerto reported that Monty Lopez launched his own OnlyFans account after his split from Sheri. That account belongs to him and has no link to Addison.

Monty Lopez 2026 legal reports

In February 2026 TMZ reported that Lopez was arrested in July 2025 over an alleged August 2024 incident, with an obscenity charge, and that he had pleaded not guilty. In April 2026 outlets reported a separate marijuana-related arrest in Lafayette. These are allegations, we could not confirm the outcomes and we found no public comment from Addison.

Addison has drawn criticism since her first year of fame. Much of it has faded as her music was praised, but a few stories still follow her.

He's All That and the early backlash

Her Netflix debut He's All That was widely panned in 2021, and her first single was also poorly received. She has said she felt anything she did outside TikTok drew backlash, and that it pushed her to rethink everything.

The Sephora and Item Beauty exit

Reports in January 2023 that Sephora would drop Item Beauty were followed by the brand shutting down, which was a rare public business setback.

Her song and the DHS copyright claim

In April 2026 she filed a copyright claim against the US Department of Homeland Security after "Diet Pepsi" was used in an immigration enforcement recruitment video posted on X. The video was removed after a report from the copyright owner.

Addison Rae OnlyFans: fake accounts and rumors

There is no verified Addison Rae OnlyFans (or "only fan") account, and she has never announced one. Websites and pages that use her name for explicit content are fake or impersonation, and we do not link to them.

At the 2026 Grammys, Addison told E! News that she does not feel the need to correct misconceptions about her as a social media star, and said she sometimes wishes the world knew less about her.

In a January 2025 Rolling Stone cover story she explained that the poor reception of He's All That made her rethink everything. In the Interview magazine conversation with Mel Ottenberg she pushed back on the idea that her pop move was a PR rebrand and said it simply reflects who she is.

Speaking to The Guardian in December 2025, when it named her artist of the year, she said she enjoys fame but that it is exposing and comes at a price. In a 2025 People interview she explained why she stepped back from social media and said she has learned not to take criticism personally.

At Coachella in April 2026 she ended her set by thanking fans and sending a blunt message to her critics.

There is no verified figure for Addison Rae's net worth. Celebrity Net Worth estimates about $25 million in 2026, according to Parade, while other sites range from $15 million to $30 million. Forbes reported that she earned about $5 million in 2020. These are estimates, not audited numbers.

How Addison Rae makes money

Her income comes from music, touring, brand deals, acting, social posts and business ventures. Parade estimates her TikTok posts could earn her roughly $53,000 to $88,000 each, which is also an estimate.
