KallMeKris explained

Kallmekris
Birth Name:Kristina Lee Halliwell Collins
Birth Date:1 July 19<!-- Yes, 1996 is correct. Do not change to 1987 because she was not born in 1987. Her saying she was born in 1987 was not true. Most likely a joke. In the Answering My DMs video she posted on March 27th, she even said she is turning 28 soon. The source in the article says she was born in 1996. Changing this to the incorrect year, 1987, will be reverted quickly because it violates:[[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons]]-->96

Early life

Kristina Lee Halliwell Collins[4] was born on July 1, 1996[5] in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.[6] [7] [8] [9] She was raised in a conservative family[5] and is the second-oldest of three sisters and two brothers.[5] [10] Collins wanted to pursue a career in stand-up comedy from an early age.[5] [7] Because she came from a larger family and felt like she was not receiving enough attention, she found out how to express herself through comedy.[5] "I kind of wanted to shine in any way I could in the family and try to get maybe a little bit of attention...[through] cracking jokes, maybe being a little bit of an asshole sometimes so my parents would notice me."[5]

Career

At the age of 14, Collins started a house cleaning business which she kept up until she was 23.[5] After dropping out of the University of the Fraser Valley,[11] She started working as a hairdresser[10] working on TV shows and out of her parents' home.[12] [13] Collins left her career as a hairdresser in April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10] [6] [9] [14] She joined TikTok that same month.[9] [14] Her brother convinced her to create a TikTok account and has stated that she did so out of boredom.[7] [9]

Collins created her TikTok account on April 9, 2020, and posted her first video on the same day, which was a lip-sync to an audio of a line spoken by John C. Reilly in the 2008 film Step Brothers.[7] Her earliest TikToks were mainly lip-syncing and clips inspired by her family and childhood.[10] Later TikToks consist of comedic skits where she plays multiple recurring characters.[14] [9] [15] According to The Netline, "Her most popular personas include a vampire-obsessed version of her 12-year-old self, a Boston bro-dude named Chad, a fed-up mom, and a tiny-handed toddler."[10] She also does vlogs and reaction videos on her YouTube channel.[16] She had partnered with Amazon, Lionsgate, and Pantene in the past.[14] A company representative at Red Bull reached out to Collins after her fans continuously urged the company to sponsor Kris.[10] She was given a lifetime supply of Red Bull.[10] The company also flew her out to the top of a mountain in British Columbia in celebration of hitting 10 million followers.[10] In 2021, Forbes listed her as the fifth highest-earning TikToker at $4.75 million.[14]

On March 10, 2022, she made an appearance on Breakfast Television.[17] In her interview with Breakfast Television, Collins talked about how she wants to get into acting, stating, "I definitely do want this to be somewhat of a stepping stone, and I'm trying to get more into, like, the traditional space into TV and maybe movies."[5] Collins attended VidCon 2022, which was held at the Anaheim Convention Center from June 22–25, 2022.[16] [18] It was the first VidCon since the COVID-19 pandemic.[18] Collins was featured in the music video for Nickelback's song "San Quentin", which was released on September 14, 2022.[19] [20] [21] On November 18, 2022, Nickelback invited Collins on stage to perform their song, "Rockstar" with them[22] in Sayreville, New Jersey.[5] [23]

In February 2023, Collins launched her own clothing brand, "Otto By Kris".[5] [24] Collins was a presenter for the 2023 Juno Awards[25] where she helped promote Nickelback’s induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.[5] [23] The awards ceremony took place on March 13, 2023.[25] On May 5, 2023, it was announced that Collins would be starring in a web series titled, Ginormo!. The series was created by Ken Mok and Steven He and premiered on May 12, 2023.[26] She attended VidCon 2023 and vlogged her experience on her YouTube channel.[27] Collins was nominated for a Streamy award in the Comedy category for the 13th Annual Streamy Awards.[28] [29] [30] In June 2024, Collins started a second channel, Kallmekris2, and a collab channel with her partner, Caleb Phelps "oompaville" called NonstopPsyop.[31]

Personal life

Collins and her former boyfriend, Aaron, met at a barbeque party in 2015 and dated for six years.[5] [10] In late 2021, Collins confirmed via TikTok that they had broken up, saying that the two of them remained good friends but "just grew apart".[5] [10] In May 2021, Collins posted a video on YouTube discussing her struggles with mental health.[5] [10]

In a 2021 YouTube Q&A video, Collins was asked if she was "a member or ally of the LGBTQ [community]", to which she responded that she was both, saying she had "never had a label for myself necessarily. I love whoever I love [...] girl, guy or whatever, I'm not opposed to any of it, so I guess that's pan, most people would say, but I don't necessarily have like a label."[32]

On April 26, 2023, Collins posted a video talking about her experiences with being stalked, including having drones fly into her backyard and men coming up to her front door.[5] [33] Because of this invasion of her privacy and fear for her safety she has decided to move to a new location.[5] [34] In November 2023, Collins revealed that she was in a relationship with YouTuber, oompaville.[35]
