Bella Poarch Is Related To Another Famous Social Media Star

Bella Poarch and Bretman Rock revealed their surprising family connection in a vlog posted on Rock's YouTube channel in June 2021. While making tie-dye sets together, Rock said he and Poarch first met when they were kids in the latter's birthplace of Pangasinan, Philippines. "We're actually cousins, you guys," he then revealed. "We met all the way back in Pangasinan where she's from. She's Ilocano as well." (Ilocano is what Filipino people who speak the Ilocano language are called.)

As his fans may already know, Rock was born in the Philippines province of Cagayan before he moved to Hawaii with his family when he was 7 years old. His parents separated early on and Rock, along with his two siblings, were raised singlehandedly by their mother, Mercedita Sacayanan. Speaking to CNN Philippines, Rock credited his upbringing as a huge factor as to why he has such an enormous fanbase. "I think what attracts me to world is the fact that I grew up in the Philippines, and I grew up with the values of a Filipino and I think people could relate to me," he said.

Because of their similar background and surprising connection, Poarch and Rock have established quite a close relationship. They would often appear in vlogs and TikToks together, while Rock has also been featured in music videos for Poarch's hit songs, including "Build a B*tch" and "Dolls."
