After gaining fame on Instagram, she revived her YouTube channel on July 1, 2018, by uploading her first video as a YouTuber, a Q&A video titled ‘Wait, Who’s My Favorite Brother?’ She has since then been very active on the platform and has earned over 2.5 million subscribers.

Lexi Rivera began her own social media career in 2016, about three years after her older brother Brent had begun gaining social media fame. However, she had been appearing on her brother Brent’s videos for a long time and after her other brother Brice launched his social media career, she appeared on his videos as well. She has been very popular with her brother’s fans and even met with them during his meet-and-greets.

5. Early fame came with early embarrassment

At the age of twelve, Lexi Rivera had an embarrassing experience while attending a meet-and-greet of her older brother Brent with her family. She was asked to sign an autograph by a girl, and while doing so, she tried to get to know her with a friendly chat. However, she had gum in her mouth which fell on the notebook she was signing as she began conversing, which put her into an awkward situation. In hindsight, she feels more embarrassed that she quickly picked the gum up and put it right back into her mouth.

It is understandable that as a gymnast herself she might have a special spot for the movie in which her favorite actor plays a figure skater.

7. Lexi Rivera has a ‘crush’ on Ben Azelart

Lexi’s social media is overflowing with pictures and videos of professional skateboarder Ben Azelart, whom she had met through her brother Brent.

Interestingly, they have recently started referring to each other as their ‘crush’. Moreover, one of Brent’s videos referred to Ben as his sister’s ‘boyfriend’.
