Brief on Dacre Montgomery and Liv Pollock’s relationship timeline

Montgomery and Pollock initially crossed paths through mutual contacts while working in Perth, Australia, back in 2017. Their connection deepened over time, evolving from professional acquaintances to social media friends.

Later, on November 27, 2017, they officially began dating. Demonstrating the commitment to their relationship, Pollock took a gap year from her Architecture studies at the University of Western Australia in 2018 to be with Montgomery in Atlanta.

The adorable couple made their first red carpet debut together in April 2018 at the 9th Annual Thirst Gala held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel. Pollock looked stunning in a long red dress, while Montgomery chose a classic combination of a white shirt and a black suit jacket.

Moreover, their support for each other extends beyond the glitz and glamour of events, permeating their careers as well. In a heartfelt Instagram post on November 2, 2019, the actor openly expressed his gratitude and love for his now fiance’s unwavering support in his acting journey.

He wrote a lengthy caption, stating, “I want to use this moment (and platform) to thank [Liv Pollock] – it’s not often that partners get the recognition and appreciation for just how much they do. This woman right here is the backbone of everything I do.”

Montgomery also described her as the brains, the elegance, and the one who packs up her bags to move around the world for him.

Similarly, on November 27, 2021, marking their fourth dating anniversary, Pollock shared a poignant black and white beach photo with the actor. Her caption expressed gratitude for another lap around the sun with him and thanked him for the best four years, ending with “Love you always.”

Their journey has been remarkable, evolving from dating to now happily engaged, and it seems they will be tying the knot anytime soon.

American actress Kaylee Bryant recently surprised her fans and followers by sharing interesting details about her name.

On November 30, 2023, Bryant shared a revealing post featuring herself in a white t-shirt and blue jeans, where she disclosed a surprising revelation about her actual last name.

In the caption, the actress unveiled that her actual last name isn’t Bryant. She explained that when she was 11 years old, she was advised that having the last name Kaneshiro would hinder her prospects as an actor.

In response, she quickly jotted down a random name on a napkin, ultimately choosing Bryant as her new last name. Reflecting on this decision, she expressed regret, acknowledging that she failed to grasp the significance of erasing a substantial part of her identity at such a young age.

Now, with a newfound understanding, the actress declared that there is no better time than the present to reintroduce herself authentically.

Revealing her true last name as Kaylee Kaneshiro (pronounced kah-neh-she-row), she concluded the post by embracing her real name and expressing love for the identity she had temporarily set aside.

In response to Kaneshiro’s post, a heartfelt comment surfaced, with one person expressing, “Your real name is beautiful; thank you for sharing your story with the world. We love you and your name.”

Likewise, another individual chimed in, saying, “I’ve always loved your real last name, and it’s even more admirable that you’re standing true to it!! Starting tomorrow, I’ll be calling you Kaylee Kaneshiro.”

Among these comments, a few individuals expressed curiosity about Kaylee’s ethnicity. One person congratulated her and posed a question, saying, “Do you have Japanese roots? According to Google, your original last name is a word in Japanese.”

Kaneshiro is of Japanese ethnicity, with a hint of German, Irish, English, and Danish. During her appearance in a Josie-centric episode, she opened up about her heritage. She revealed her fluent proficiency in the Japanese language, developed over years of speaking it.

Similarly, with her grandfather being Okinawan, she has been immersed in Japanese culture throughout her life.

Engaging with Soji Arai, a fellow actor from Japan, during the episode, Kaneshiro expressed the joy of reconnecting with her roots and reviving her conversational skills in Japanese that had somewhat diminished over time.

Moreover, the actress shared her genuine interest in observing people’s reactions when she speaks Japanese. Emphasizing her authentic intentions, she clarified that she is not aiming to symbolize any particular identity or movement. Instead, her focus is on fostering a connection with viewers.

For her, the ultimate satisfaction comes when a mixed-race girl watches her on screen, resonates with her portrayal, and feels a sense of comfort in their own identity.

Brief on Kaylee Kaneshiro’s early life

Kaneshiro was born in Orange County, California. In terms of her education, she embarked on homeschooling at the age of 12, a decision made to accelerate and customize her learning experience.

Remarkably, by the time she reached fifteen, she had already transitioned to junior high as a sophomore. Although details about the university from which she graduated remain undisclosed, it is reported that she completed her graduation.

Post her formal education, the actress significantly increased her involvement in the entertainment industry. This progression marked a pivotal moment in her career as she transitioned from her academic pursuits to actively pursuing opportunities in the world of entertainment.

Mads Lewis and Tana Mongeau have squashed their beef!

The two had a lot of drama going on between them, but now, it looks like they are friends. They initially started keeping their history behind when Lewis was spotted at Mongeau’s Halloween Party.

Since then, fans and followers of the two had been wondering if they had squashed their beef and become friends. However, neither of them had confirmed it.

But now, both of them seemingly told their fans and followers that they are back to being friends via TikTok. On November 30, 2023, both took to the platform to upload a video of each other.

Mongeau posted a TikTok of them looking at each other awkwardly with the caption, “When we finally squashed the beef and realized we are alike…” Lewis, on the other hand, made a video of the two saying they hate each other but confessing that they don’t at each other’s faces.

Fans and followers of the duo are happy that their idols are back to being friends. A person wrote on Instagram, “Make love, not war or whatever that saying is.”

Fans of Lewis lauded her for being the bigger person and squashing the beef with Mongeau. One of them wrote, “Mads forgives everyone. She’s such a better person bcs the things that they’ve done to her is.”

Likewise, another commented, “Whether y’all like it or not mads is mature enough to forgive garbage [expletive] people have done to her and actually fix/mend her relationships. She did the same with Nessa [Barrett] and other people who did her dirty.”

Similarly, another person penned, “Mads is being a bigger person and not having any animosity with ppl. Squashing beef and not wanting to have problems with ppl isn’t fake. it’s called maturity. I believe she shouldn’t be friends with someone of these ppl but it’s her decision at the end of the day.” 

Although the brunt of Lewis and Mongeau’s feud intensified in the summer of 2023, it began with a tweet Lewis sent following the death of influencer Cooper Noriega. Because Lewis and Noriega had supposedly been closest friends, his followers created a memorial video at the time, set to music by Jaden Hossler, Lewis’s ex-boyfriend. 

However, Lewis took advantage of the situation to disparage Hossler and Noriega’s fans rather than trying to diffuse the tension at a trying moment.

She tweeted, “Y’all know nothing! Please stop using Jaden’s music over edits of Cooper it’s disrespectful. You’re a hypocrite, Jaden, a [expletive] hypocrite,” according to  The original TikTokroom.

Mongeau naturally started the fight when she retweeted Mads and made fun of the mourning influencer by asking, “? who tweets this.”

Lewis and Mongeau also often talk to the BFFs Podcast, where most controversy between the influencers tends to start. After bringing up Mongeau’s Coachella ensemble, Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards inquired about Lewis’ opinion. 

They joked about how she “hates everything,” but she promptly shot it down. Mads said, “I don’t hate everything and I don’t have beef with Tana.” “She just switches up on people so fast. You know what I’m saying? I was really good friends with her, actually,” she added.

Many fans who rushed to the comments section to express their thoughts about Mongeau and Lewis agreed that the former had a reputation for switching up. 

Then, Mongeau decided to defend herself on CANCELLED, her podcast. She claimed that the two met on social media and exchanged a couple of story replies.

Then, they had one phone call where Mongeau was drunk. During that call, Lewis explained about Hossler, who used to be her ex, dating his new girlfriend at the time, Nessa Barrett.

Mongeau said, “We never hung out when the sun is out, we’ve never hung out alone, I couldn’t tell you anything about her. Respectfully, Mads, you don’t know me well enough to know what me switching up would look like.”

Lewis then posted on her TikTok a snapshot of a string of texts between them, in which it appears they are close friends. Tana also texted, “U KNOW I GOT YOU FOR LIFE,” something that most acquaintances wouldn’t say to one another during the conversation. 

Additionally, they mentioned several phones, suggesting they each had various phone numbers. Mongeau then went on the BFFs podcast to claim they were not as good of a friend as Lewis said.

She claimed they had hung out two times and met each other six times. Regardless, she indicated that she had no bad blood against the influencer.

Now that the two have squashed their beef, it looks like they can be genuine and close friends moving forward.
