What is Alexa Demie's nationality?
Alexa was born in LA, California to Rose Mendez, a make-up artist from Mexico. Although she maintains a good relationship with her dad, Scott Wilson Vanerstrom, it seems that the actress was predominately raised by her mother, whom she calls "one of her best friends".
"We've always been incredibly close," Alexa told InStyle about her relationship with her mum.
"I think we did have our issues when I was a teenager and just growing up, working on these films and having to play these dark roles, it helps me to kind of relate and have compassion for anyone in those situations.
"Despite [my mum] not having any support emotionally or financially, she was always the number one person in my life. She was just always so positive when the rest of my family really wasn't. They didn't really believe that you could do what I'm doing. She was always the one to be like, 'You can do anything you want.' I think she instilled that in me."
Is Alexa Demie related to a Beach Boy?
Sooo, Alexa's father, Scott, was the stepson of late Beach Boy member, Dennis Wilson. Dennis adopted Scott during his roughly three-year marriage to Carole Freedman.
How old is Alexa Demie?

We're going to leave that one for Alexa to confirm.
How tall is Alexa Demie?

What has Alexa Demie been in other than Euphoria?
Maddy Perez may be her most iconic role, but it isn't Alexa's first time on our screens.
The actress has appeared in multiple TV series, including Ray Donovan, Love, and The OA.
She also portrayed Isabelle Roberts in the movie Mainstream, which also stars the internet's current crush, Andrew Garfield.
For Alexa, there were many signs she would be cast as Maddy in Euphoria.
Speaking to Collider, the actress confessed that although the auditioning process was tough, she stayed "focused", explaining that there were many inclinations that this role was her fate.
"I went to a sandwich shop and there was a cheese called Euphoria. I just kept having this synchronicity. Even with [Zendaya] being Rue, she was in my dream before I met her. And then, when we met, it was like we knew each other, forever. It was like this instant like family bond."
Does Alexa Demie have a partner?
It seems so! Though she likes to keep a lid on things, Alexa is reportedly dating Albanian-American singer-songwriter JMSN (AKA: Christian Berishaj).
The pair are said to have met in 2017 when the actress appeared in his music video, Slide.
Alexa also directed the music video for JMSN's 2021 single Love 2 U and co-directed the video for Talk is Cheap.
