Anthony Padilla was born in the Carmichael suburb of Sacramento, California, to a half-Filipino, half-Caucasian father and a Caucasian mother. Padilla’s paternal grandmother is Filipino. It makes Padilla 25% Filipino and 75% Caucasian.
“My mom & dad before I was born,” Padilla wrote alongside a throwback Instagram photo of his parents in January 2013. “Now you can see where I get my looks.”
Padilla’s parents separated when he was a toddler. The YouTuber said the separation didn’t affect him, as he was too young to comprehend what was happening.
