The TikTok star Addison Rae is loved by millions and is on her way to making a name for herself as an actress after successful social media fame. But did you know none of this would have happened if Addison Rae’s dad hadn’t supported her?
We know everything about the TikTok star turned actress’ life, but little is known about her parents and especially her father, Monty Lopez. Hence, this article will give you an inside look at Lopez’s life and controversies.
Before TikTok Fame
Monty Lopez was born on November 24, 1975. Despite being very active on social media, Lopez has barely revealed anything about his life before the internet fame.
Before internet fame, Addison Rae’s dad worked as a general manager in the real estate industry. According to his LinkedIn profile, he attended the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and studied English and literature.
Monty Lopez rose to fame alongside his daughter. After Addison’s substantial success, Monty opened his TikTok account in late 2019 and now has over 5 million followers with over 125 million likes.

Had On And Off Relationship
The father of the TikTok megastar had a rocky relationship with Addison Rae’s mother, Sheri Easterling. When Addison was younger, she grew up witnessing her parents’ on-and-off relationship.
Rae revealed that her parents split in the early 2000s. Her father, Monty, was absent for a few years during her childhood, and her mother, Sheri, raised her as a single mom. Due to Monty and Sheri’s on-and-off relationship, Addison had to move around a lot from Louisiana to Texas and then back to Louisiana.
However, Monty and Sheri reconciled in 2017, remarried, and gave birth to Addison’s two younger brothers, Enzo Lopez and Lucas Lopez.

Addison joined TikTok in July 2019. At that time, Rae was studying sports broadcasting at Louisiana State University (LSU). But she put her ambition to hold in order to build a lucrative career as a social media influencer.
Addison Rae’s dad was very supportive and permitted her to drop out of the university and move to LA. Not only that, but Monty, along with Sheri, moved to LA to join Addison.
Addison Rae’s Dad Scandal
After getting remarried to Sheri in 2017, the Lopez family seemed perfect and happy. They could be seen appearing in each other’s TikToks and were seen living a good life. But Monty Lopez disappointed everyone with the news of his unethical relationship with a model named Renée Ash.
The model said Lopez misled her into having an affair, telling her he was in the process of getting divorced. All the accusations caused an uproar, and people pointed to Lopez cheating on his wife with someone of his daughter’s age.
Afterward, Sheri changed her Instagram bio to “Single Mom,” which drew more speculation about the couple’s relationship. Later, Sheri too was seen on the red carpet of the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards with rapper Yung Gravy.
The whole internet was feeding off of Addison Rae’s family drama. After all the allegations and drama, Monty and Sheri are now divorced and do not seem to reconcile this time around.
After the initial split, Monty and Renée are back together, and the new couple has made their relationship exclusive. They can be seen on each other’s Instagram often. Addison Rae’s dad is even planning to take his relationship with Ash to the next level.
The father of three can be seen active on his social media page and seems to be living well. We hope Monty does not involve himself with any more controversies this year.
