Many social media stars have utilized their platforms to establish enormous careers, and Baby Ariel, whose real name is Ariel Martin, is one of them. She started out on TikTok’s predecessor, Musical.ly, way back in 2015.

Her lip-sync and dancing videos helped her establish a significant following. In 2017, she was recognized on Forbes’ list of top entertainment influencers, and a year later, Time Magazine called her one of the most influential people on the internet.

Since her breakthrough on social media, she has starred in movies and recorded songs, proving she can do it all. If you’ve ever wondered who is Baby Ariel? Here’s all you need to know about emerging talent.

1. An Unfortunate Event Led Her to Musical.ly

In an interview with Paper, the TikTok star said she was 14 years old when she launched Musical.ly.

Her entire family was staying in one of the rooms at her grandparents’ house after her home was nearly destroyed by a flood. So during summer, instead of going to summer camps, she and her brother spent much of their free time having fun with Musical.ly.

2. Her Journey towards Acting and Singing

Martin attracted huge interest in the app and eventually secured a deal with Creative Artists Agency in 2016. She began releasing her own music and premiered her first single, ‘Aww,’ in 2017.

Although she has not released an album yet, she dropped a series of songs and cooperated with artists like Daniel Skye. Her video ‘Perf,’ which she released in 2018, has over 39 million views on YouTube.

She demonstrated her talent in the role of Wynter in Disney’s Zombies 2 and the spin-off television series Zombies 2: Wolf Tales in 2020.

She has a net worth of $6 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, as a result of her numerous endeavors.

3. Her parents are also social media celebrities.

Martin’s parents are extremely supportive of her and her brother Jacob, aka King Jacob, and their social media professions, which have expanded to include singing and acting.

Martin’s parents were also made aware of his internet celebrity thanks to the Meet the Martins YouTube channel. They have over 250,000 subscribers, however, their latest video was released over two years ago, indicating that they are no longer active.

They sang carpool karaoke together, prank-called people, criticized old videos, and occasionally showed fans old videos from Martin and her brother’s history.

4. Her Personal Life

Naturally, Martin’s great career included several love encounters with other internet celebrities.

Martin used her YouTube account last year to clarify that she and TikTok star Jacob Sartorius were simply pals. The couple collaborated on a number of videos, leading to speculation that they were dating.

Because of their great connection in their song “Say It,” fans imagined Martin and Syke were dating. The two, on the other hand, never disputed or verified the rumors.

Zach Clayton and Blake Gray were two of the partnerships that actually existed.

Murphy Milo, on the other hand, is her present boyfriend.

5. She Launched an Anti-Bullying Initiative

Martin became a target of internet trolls and cyberbullying as a result of his celebrity and success. Her meteoric climb to popularity was marred by snarky comments and internet vitriol.

She founded the #Arielmovement in order to stop cyberbullying.

She wanted to speak up and offer support to her followers who had gone through something similar.

Martin is without a doubt the ideal role model for Generation Z.
