First gained prominence on the now-defunct social media platforms, Vine, Larray, whose real name is Larri Merritt, born July 22nd, 1998, and now 25 years old, is an American TikTok creator, YouTube creator, Instagram & Snapchat influencer from Los Angeles, California, U.S. 

He launched his YouTube channel on August 18, 2011, when he was barely 13 years old. However, the earliest video on the channel titled “HOWTO: COOK A BOMB MEAL. *COOKING WITH LARRAY*”, was posted on January 10, 2015, at which time he was already 16 years old. 

Clearly, he has been consistent since the days of Vine and well, not only does he have a huge fan base on YouTube, but also on other major social media platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, where he has also managed to amass a substantial fan base running in millions. 

On YouTube, he has over 9.35 million subscribers, and over 1.2 billion content views; over 27 million on TikTok, 6.3+ million on Instagram, 1.5+ million on Snapchat, and over 1.3 million on X (fka Twitter). Our team estimates his net worth to be $1.3 million and his annual salary, over $400k thousand. 

Away from content creation, Larray has given love a try in the past, but hey, some things just don’t work out, and that’s it. Anyhoo, Larri and his gay boyfriend, Brady Potter, dated for less than two years, breaking up in the summer of 2021.

And, just in case you are still wondering about his sexuality, Larri Merritt is openly gay. Fact-check: He first came out as gay to his parents, with the now-archived “COMING OUT TO MY PARENTS” video he uploaded on his channel on February 18, 2017. 

But wait, that’s not all there’s to know about his dating life. Well, he recently got linked to being romantically involved with his close friend, Nick Sturniolo, who came out as gay in 2021. Funnily, Larray and his best friend, Issa Twaimz, have also been linked to having a thing going on. Y’all, we fact-checked and figured! 

So, hey dear, worry not, because, with this article, we took a look at his early life, all the dating rumors and controversies, and obviously, every other thing we could find about him that is open source. Before we get into all of those saucy teas, take a glance at his Wiki profile summary. 🙂 

Creator’s Profile Summary 

Larray Early Life 

Born Larri Merritt, on July 22nd, 1998, at Kaiser Hospital in Los Angeles, California, United States, Larray is now 25 years old – his zodiac sign is Cancer. He is from California, so is an American citizen by birth. And yes, he is of Mixed ethnicity; half Black and half White, his mother is an African American woman and his father is probably mixed with Black and White, as well. 

Sources say he has 13 siblings, as we surfed the web a little bit further, however, we found that he has a younger brother named Jaden. Now, his brother, Jaden, is a minor and is currently 17 years old. Fact-check: Larri’s family name or last name is “Merritt.” He follows the Christian religion. 

Though we found that he, on June 21, 2020, wished his father a Happy Fathers’ Day, we do not know the current dynamics of his relationship with his father. In the now-trendy Instagram post, he was quoted as saying; “happy fathers day dad. i miss u.”

Relationship with Family 

Fact-check: Larray and his dad share a great relationship, actually – his dad was previously in jail, so THAT. Anyway, sharing a screenshot of his text with his dad on announcing he had been released from jail, on December 22, 2020, he tweeted, thus; “good news: my dad just got released from jail. 🙂 bad news: i got some explaining to do.”

“Everyone say hi dad!”, he tweeted with a picture of himself and his dad, on May 31, 2021, so yeah, he and his dad are good. Fact-check: He thought his dad obviously knew he was gay but well, was just trolling at the time. But, sure, they are good now. 

Interestingly, Larray also shares a good relationship with his mom; we found that he often tweets about things his mother says, so yeah, their relationship is good, as well. Celebrating his mom during the May 9, 2021 Mothers’ Day, he posted on Instagram, thus; “happy mommy’s day. thank u for being my biggest fan love u.”

Tell you what, he is just as close with his younger brother, Jaden. Now, after introducing his brother, Jaden, to his TikTok fan base, he started posting more pictures and collaborating with him. Our verdict: Lerri Merritt loves his family, so does his family love him. <3 

Is Larray Gay? 

Short answer: Yes, Larri Merritt is openly gay. He first came to his parents in a now-archived video he posted on his YouTube titled “COMING OUT TO MY PARENTS.” Fact-check: he probably didn’t come out to his dad then, as he seems to have come out to him officially after he came out of prison. 

Meanwhile, his gay best friend is Issa Twaimz. Actually, he and Issa were neighbors. An April 25, 2017 tweet, “ME AND ISSA ARE OFFICIALLY NEIGHBORS I CANT WAIT SET HIS HOUSE ON Fire,” shows that they have been friends for over half a decade. 

Oh, and they troll each other; as do most best friends. Well, in a March 10, 2023 tweet, Issa was trolling people who thought he and Larri were dating. In the tweet, he was quoted as saying; “larray and I are not gay or in a gay relationship with each other I just thought I would clear up the common misconception.” 

So, no, guys, Larri Merritt and his best friend, Issa Twaimz, are not dating; they just happen to be both gays and share a platonic relationship as does every other person of all sexuality. 

Larray Boyfriend 

Larray’s boyfriend is Brady Potter. Well, his ex-boyfriend, actually. Now, Larri and Brady started dating in April of 2019. However, they broke up in the summer of 2021 (September 2021); and barely dated for two years. 

A few months after their break up, his ex boyfriend came out as bisexual; not explicitly though. He just like, on March 30, 2022 video he posted on his YouTube channel titled “Meet my girl friend,” introduced a girl he called his girlfriend. Fact-check: He and his girlfriend have since broken up, so he is currently single. 

As with his ex-boyfriend, Larray is also currently single. Oh, and please, the rumors about him and “the gay triplet” Nick Sturniolo dating are unfounded. Again, he just shares a platonic relationship with Nick, who happens to be gay, as well. What to do? Give Larri a break from the dating rumors, guys. 😎
