She became the first star on the platform to amass 1 billion loops on Vine and went on to reach more than 7 billion loops before the platform shut down.

Lele has a YouTube docuseries premiering May 19 titled “The Secret Life of Lele Pons,” which many fans hope will open up the social media star and help them get some answers to questions like her plans to get pregnant or get married to her maybe-boyfriend, Twan Kuyper.

Many fans speculate about her relationship with BFF, Twan Kuyper.

Lele and Twan frequently appear in each other’s videos, pretended to get married, and even pretended to be pregnant. In a May 2019 video, Lele takes the pregnancy test and after the results come through, she runs downstairs to announce that she’s pregnant. When she gets no reaction at all, Lele says, “I’m pregnant, it’s not a prank.”

The video did, in fact, turn out to be a prank. Lele is not pregnant, but fans were very confused because the video was quite convincing. One user wrote, “I can’t tell if lele is ACTUALLY joking.”

In a video for Tinder, she said in the video, “I don’t know what happened to us. We went sky diving and we became the best of friends… I think that he is blood-related to me. It’s a connection that no one has. Only best friends have this connection. Twan is literally my brother… My relationship with Twan is something that no guy will ever see because it’s impossible to get so close.”
