Addison Rae Is Reportedly “Embarrassed” by Her Parents' Drama: What to Know

Rae joined TikTok in mid-2019. She quickly hit over one million followers by Oct. 2019, gaining traction for dance- and lip-syncing videos that often featured her mom, Easterling. In Dec. 2019, Rae moved from Louisiana to California to join the Hype House – an LA mansion where other internet influencers like Chase Hudson, Charli D’Amelio, and Daisy Keech collaborated to create TikTok content. At the time of her move, Rae’s family also purchased a house in California and moved in shortly after.

On July 7, Page Six reported cheating allegations involving Lopez. At the time, Easterling released a statement on her Instagram, writing, “Personal matters being brought public are always challenging and overwhelming for anyone involved. I will be okay,” Page Six reported.

On July 14, Yung Gravy – who’s earned a reputation for loving “MILFs” – shared a TikTok video that featured screenshots of Easterling’s TikTok and Instagram profiles and circled the part of her Instagram bio that said “single mom.” Easterling quickly responded by creating her own TikTok video, using a random generator to predict what her next date would be. The generator said “picnic in the park with your dog,” which Easterling modified by crossing out “dog” and replacing it with “Yung Gravy.”

After already seemingly unfollowing her dad after the news of his alleged affair broke, Rae decided to break internet ties with her mom as well. Easterling commented that Rae’s decision was “heart wrenching” followed by a sad face in a comment captured by TikTokroom.

Easterling and 26-year-old musician Yung Gravy debuted their relationship at the 2022 MTV VMAs. The couple quickly made headlines for their matching purple outfits and PDA-packed appearance – they didn’t hold back from locking lips as they posed for photos. According to People, during a preshow interview, Yung Gravy commented on his relationship with the 42-year-old mom of three. “We met online . . . We connected right away,” he said. He went on to say, “I’m into MILFs, and she’s kind of the queen of MILFs so I figured it was just a perfect match.”

Lopez wasted no time hiding his feelings about estranged wife Easterling and her date, Yung Gravy. Soon after the first photos of Easterling and Yung Gravy surfaced on Aug. 28, Lopez wrote on his Instagram Story, “Unbothered! Thank you @youngravy for taking the leftovers!” He added, “Never let a woman make you choose between her and or your blood child!” according to E! News.

In an Aug. 30 interview with NME, Yung Gravy responded to Lopez’s comments about the rapper’s relationship with Easterling. “Addison Rae’s dad wanted to fight me,” he said. “I feel really bad for his daughter [Addison] because he was really embarrassing.”

A source told Page Six that Rae is “mortified” by the public drama surrounding her parents. “Addison has seen her parents go through a lot of ups and downs over the years,” the source said. “But everything going on right now has been particularly overwhelming for her.”

Lopez continued to slam Minnesota-native Yung Gravy by releasing a series of Instagram posts on Aug. 31. The posts featured a diss track rapped by Lopez himself titled “Leftovers.”

According to an E! News report on Oct. 7, Easterling and Yung Gravy’s short-lived romance is over. A source told the outlet, “It was very short-lived, and they wanted to get people talking. Sheri definitely was interested in him and loved the attention, but they both knew it wasn’t going to be anything serious.” Reps for both didn’t confirm the split to E! News.
