Baby Ariel and Blake Gray Loren and Joey Kiss

From Seventeen

Blake Gray has probably shown up on your feed more than once recently — and for good reason. This six-foot-tall TikTok and Instagram star has millions of followers across his social media platforms who love to see him lip sync, dance, and take his shirt off. Regardless of what he's doing, his fun and outgoing personality comes to life through the screen, and now that he's a member of the Sway House, you get to see him with all your TikTok faves. Here's everything you need to know about Blake Gray.

He's a Capricorn

His birthday is January 9, 2001.

He has two TikTok accounts

He's behind @blakegray and @itsblakexgray. Both accounts are verified and both have millions of followers, but the @itsblakexgray account hasn't been updated since April 2020.

He's a Sway Boy

In June 2020, it was made official! Bryce Hall posted a video on his YouTube channel where he "initiates" Blake into the content house. Skip to 3:40 to see it.

Blake and Loren Gray are NOT related

They may look like they have the same last name, but Loren Gray's last name is actually Beech. Gray is her middle name. She started using her middle name on social middle because she thinks it sounds better. But she will totally go along with it if you think they are related.

He turned to social media after being bullied

In a YouTube video, Blake shared that when he was in school, he was bullied so much that he didn't want to go. He got on social media to express himself. "That's why I started doing this because, it's like, I can express myself," he said. "I can show who I am. I can be myself."

He's signed to Next Models

This gave him the opportunity to go to Milan Fashion Week and I couldn't be more jealous.

He has two tattoos

Blake posted his latest tattoo — a dagger on the back of his forearm — to his Twitter in July 2020.

He also has a bolt of lightning on his finger.

He's currently single

In an interview posted on July 12 2020, Blake said he was looking to stay single, but a week earlier, he tweeted that he has a new Tinder account. So... what is the truth, Blake?

He used to date Baby Ariel

Blake's single now, but back in 2016 he dated Baby Ariel. The two were together from December of that year to July 2017, according to J-14. Although it's not clear who broke up with who or why they split, they seem to have ended on good terms. Blake tweeted, "Ariel and I decided to take a break from each other for right now. We're still gonna be really close. Gonna miss you."

Soon after announcing their breakup, Blake sent out a cryptic tweet. "It's weird seeing how famous social media people act online vs when there not online," it says. "Most of y'alls idols aren't what y'all think they are."

Blake later clarified that the tweet wasn't about Baby Ariel, but he goes onto say in another tweet that he feels like gaining fame "changed him."

And he dated model Olivia Occhigrossi

They dated from 2018 to 2019 according to Famous Birthdays. In the "Who's More Likely?" video they did together for Famous Birthdays in April 2019, they talk about what it was like living together. Olivia teased Blake, saying that he's always getting lost and he loves a good midnight snack, but don't we all?

A fan randomly showed up at his house one time

In one of his #askBlake YouTube videos, Blake talks about the first time he met a fan. A few years ago, he was in his room playing video games when there was a knock at the door, and it was a fan a the door. He said, "Hi, how are you," and the fan just looks shocked. Blake didn't mention if there were any other words exchanged, but he said he has no idea how she got his address.

He's been open about dealing with depression

In a Q&A video, Blake said he doesn't mention his depression on social media because he doesn't like talking about it. "I like to be positive about everything," he said in the video. "I don't like looking at negatives, but if you're suffering from depression I just want to let you know you can get through it, all right? I got through it. If I got through it that means you can get through it, too."

He's had to get surgery to fix a hole in his chest

In May 2019, Blake had to get surgery for something called pneumomediasteinum. According to the National Institutes of Health, this is a condition where air leaks into the chest which can cause shortness of breath, severe chest pain and voice distortion. For Blake, this meant he had to have surgery ASAP to avoid anything getting worse. In an IG post, he thanks his fans and girlfriend at the time, Olivia, for all their support. "Thankfully everything is going to be okay, but this whole process has taken a huge toll on me. If the hole hadn't been found early it would've been much worse," he says in the post's caption. "I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to each of you that have been sending messages and prayers. Also to my amazing girlfriend who has been there every step of the way, I love you so much and I am so grateful to have you by my side. I would not have been able to get through this without you guys."

He loves football and baseball

In his #askBlake YouTube video, Blake shared that he played baseball for 11 years and football for five years. He says he misses the sports but didn't share why he stopped playing.
