He practiced acting at a drama club, and often went to watch plays at a local theatre. At the age of 17 Tony started going to the gym, having several training sessions each week. He matriculated in 2017 and then didn’t enroll at a college but focus on his career on the internet.
Career as a social media star
Tony is also known for his and his brother Ondreaz’s YouTube channel – “Lopez Brothers” – which they launched on 29 October 2019, and which has already been subscribed to by nearly two million people, while the boys have gathered close to 50 million views of all their videos combined.

Who is he dating, and is Tony Lopez gay?
There are many people on the internet who believe that Tony is gay, but after the controversy regarding Tony’s tweets about ‘straight TikTok’ and ‘gay TikTok’ ended, it was clear that the social media star is straight.
Even so, Tony prefers to keep his personal matters to himself, and hasn’t talked about any girls he might have dated, but it’s widely believed that he was in a relationship with Addison Rae who is a dancer and a TikTok star, and that they dated for nearly a year before calling it quits for unknown reasons.
A month after their split, Tony started a relationship with Sofie Dossi who is a gymnast, actress and a social media star, but they separated after less than six months.
Tony hasn’t been seen with any girls since his split from Sofie, so it’s presumed that he is single today, hasn’t married and doesn’t have children.
