Aya's mom and dad are Jamila Dadasse and Mustafa Tanjali respectively. Both of them have Facebook accounts, but neither of them has been active for a while. But though they aren't as present on social media as their daughter, Aya has still taken some time to give them occasional shout-outs on her TikTok.

Her mom has appeared in multiple videos, with Aya showing off how "adorable" Jamila. Jamila can even be seen dancing alongside Aya as part of her usual content.

As of her dad, Aya has been open to talking about their interactions in the past, which seem to be quite positive.

In June 2021, Aya posted about having to get parental consent to get a lip piercing as a minor.

According to Aya, her mom was completely against her getting a lip piercing up to and including the point where she finally offered to give consent for the procedure. After she got the piercing, though, Aya said that her parents spoke to her calmly about it and the three of them were able to come to a mutual understanding.

At the time, Aya even admitted, "I'm so surprised [that my dad] was cool [with the piercings]."
