Who Is Louise From "Claim to Fame" Related To?

From the moment she graces our screens, it's obvious that "Louise" is related to Simone Biles. Her real name is actually Adria Louise Biles, and she's the Olympic gymnast's younger sister [5]. Louise attempts to fool the cast when she comes out in basketball attire for the talent show in the first episode, but her striking resemblance to her older sister makes it extremely difficult to conceal her identity. During the cast introductions, Louise lies about her first name, but admits that her famous relative is her sister who is an athlete. She also lies that her famous relative's biggest award is the Honda-Broderick Cup, an award for college-level female athletes, which Simone Biles never won.

During the eighth episode, Louise is eliminated when Logan correctly guesses her celebrity relative. She survived the competition thus far after winning multiple challenges and being granted immunity during elimination ceremonies. "Yeah, everyone has known for a long time because, hello?" she said, motioning to her face. "My name is Adria Louise Biles and she is my sister. . . She is like my best friend. We're super, super close, we're only two years apart and she basically raised me. She's an amazing person, inside and out and she's become an inspiration to me and a lot of people. I hope she's proud of me for making it this far. I thought I was going to be gone a long time ago, so I'm really proud of myself."

Answer: Louise is Simone Biles's sister.

Louise's Sister, Simone Biles

Who Is Amara From "Claim to Fame" Related To?

Amara might be able to keep her identity a secret from the rest of the cast, but she has already revealed herself to be Whoopi Goldberg's granddaughter to the viewers. Amara told the cast that her famous relative is her grandmother who is an actor, but she lied to the group and said that the biggest award she received was an AVN Award, which is an Adult Video News award. By episode five, one or two of Amara's castmates have correctly questioned out loud whether she's related to the "Sister Act" star based on game clues.

Amara is eliminated by Lark in the seventh episode when she correctly guesses her celebrity relative is Whoopi Goldberg. Amara exits the show, cursing out the remaining competitors and confirming her relative. "Let's go, Granny! I'm Whoopi Goldberg's granddaughter."

Answer: Amara is Whoopi Goldberg's granddaughter.

Amara's Grandmother, Whoopi Goldberg

Who Is Logan From "Claim to Fame" Related To?

Logan reveals to the cast that his famous relative is "a very well-known country music star" whose biggest award is an Academy of Country Music Award. While the singer, who surprisingly looks a lot like Tom Holland [6], initially says that his famous relative is his grandfather, he later admits that it's actually his cousin. During the fashion show, Logan's clue is a black cowboy hat.

Logan's identity remains a secret to his castmates in sixth episode, but the country singer has proved to be helpful in guessing his castmates' relatives. During the lie-detector test, he shares that his celebrity relative is currently making music and that his celebrity relative's name has not been mentioned in the house before.

In the seventh episode, Logan tells the cameras that his clue in the estate sale is a palm-leaf cowboy hat. During the eighth episode, L.C. receives Logan's clue from the clue room and it reads, "Dirt Road Anthem Country Artist." It's also revealed in the episode that his celebrity relative has recorded a song with Kelly Clarkson [7].

In the final episode, Logan is eliminated by L.C. While she admittedly is not familiar with country music artists, she explains that she pieced together clues from throughout their time in the house to eventually figure out Logan's celebrity relative. "My name is Logan Crosby, and Jason Aldean is my cousin," he tells his fellow contestants. "You may know my celebrity relative from songs like 'Dirt Road Anthem' and 'Don't You Wanna Stay.' I didn't win, but I think Jason would be proud." In a confessional, Logan tells viewers, "This was the most incredible experience I've ever had. I will never in my life forget this."

Answer: Logan is Jason Aldean's cousin.

Logan's Cousin, Jason Aldean

Who Is Brittany From "Claim to Fame" Related To?

Brittany admits that her famous relative is her father, who is an athlete. She says he is "a Super Bowl champion and a Hall of Fame quarterback," but lies to the cast and says his biggest award is an Emmy. Brittany had immunity in the first episode, but in the second episode, the other contestants were able to figure out that she is Brett Favre's daughter, thanks to the cheesehead on the clue wall that represented the Green Bay Packers.

"I'm Brittany, and I am Brett Favre's daughter," she admits to the cameras. "He is a Super Bowl champion, three-time MVP, and a Hall of Fame quarterback. My dad and I are really close; I did inherit his competitive nature. At my house, winning is the only option."

Unfortunately for Brittany, she was sent home at the end of the fourth episode.

Answer: Brittany is Brett Favre's daughter.

Brittany's Father, Brett Favre

Who Is Dominique From "Claim to Fame" Related To?

Dominique tells the cast that her famous relative is her father. She lies about his profession by claiming he is an actor. During the fashion show in the fourth episode, Dominique's clue is a pinstripe suit jacket. In the same episode, L.C. chooses to receive a clue about Dominique, which reveals that her celebrity relative was a speaker at the Million Man March.

In the fifth episode, Dominique's castmates, who call her "The Domfather," use hints from both the week's challenge and the clue board to figure out who her celebrity relative is based on L.C.'s clue from the previous episode. When Kai is voted as the guesser at the end of the episode, she chooses Dominique, is correct in her guess, and sends Dominique home.

Answer: Dominique is Al Sharpton's daughter.

Dominique's Father, Al Sharpton

Who Is Pepper From "Claim to Fame" Related To?

Pepper lands in the hot seat during the premiere episode when she's chosen to guess the identity of Maxwell, but she's saved when he is eliminated for breaking the strict no-cell-phones policy. Pepper's identity is still a mystery, but we know that her famous relative is a man. During the fashion show in the fourth episode, Pepper's clue is a red pocket square.

Pepper says her grandparents used to host elaborate holiday parties. During the lie-detector test in the sixth episode, she admits that her celebrity relative is a comedian and a musician but not a game-show host.

In the seventh episode, Pepper's identity is slowly starting to be discovered. Her clue is "orange-in-ale Rat Pack singer," which L.C. and Logan believe suggests Frank Sinatra. Her hidden item in the estate sale is a martini glass, and there are other dinosaur clues around the house hinting at "Dino Martini," aka Dean Martin. In seventh episode, Pepper's celebrity relative has not been confirmed, but the remaining cast members are definitely getting close.

Pepper makes it to the top three, and she's eliminated by Logan in the finale. "My name is Pepper Martin. I am the granddaughter of Dean Martin. He passed away when I was only 3 years old. My dad was his youngest son," she says. "Dean was coined the 'King of Cool.' He is the reason we have comedy roasts, and he has sang all those wonderful classic songs. I have actually been hiding a 'That's Amore' tattoo on myself the entire time I've been in the house."

Answer: Pepper is Dean Martin's granddaughter.

Pepper's Grandfather, Dean Martin

Who Is Kai From "Claim to Fame" Related To?

We don't know much about Kai's identity, but we know that her famous relative is a female and that the biggest award they've received is a Grammy. During the fashion show in the fourth episode, Kai's clue was a long white dress with a halter top neckline. "If you know my sister, you're going to know this dress immediately," she says. While Dominique thinks that the dress could be related to Billie Holiday, who was recently portrayed by Andra Day in the movie, "The United States vs. Billie Holiday," she is proven wrong during the elimination ceremony. Kai is not related to Day and her celebrity relative is still in question.

However, in episode five, Louise chooses to reveal a clue about Kai as a reward for being captain of the winning team during the challenge. The clue confuses Louise, but it's revealed to the viewers that the clue represents the words "Fun Knee Woman in Girls Trip." While she doesn't work out Kai's complete clue on camera, she appears to be onto the "Girls Trip" part at the end.

During the sixth episode, it's revealed that Kai's celebrity relative is her sister, Tiffany Haddish, who starred in "Girls Trip." In fact, Kai's real name is Jasmine, which she shared after Amara correctly guessed her relative. "I am an ABA therapist and game designer," she shared. "I am super duper proud of my sister. Our life was not easy and to see her success and her shine and how she is so graceful and always inspiration to me."

Answer: Kai is Tiffany Haddish's sister.

Kai's Sister, Tiffany Haddish

Who Is Lark From "Claim to Fame" Related To?

Lark told the cast from the start that her famous relative is her aunt. While we don't know much about Lark, Brittany receives a clue about Lark's identity after winning the first competition. The clue revealed that Lark's relative is an '80s runway model. During the fashion show in the fourth episode, Lark's clue is a pair of cutoff denim shorts.

In the seventh episode, Lark's clue during the estate sale is a huge poster of a magazine cover with what appears to be her model aunt on it. During the eighth episode, it's revealed that Lark's celebrity relative was in a tequila commercial with George Clooney [8].

During the ninth episode, Lark's celebrity relative is revealed to be Cindy Crawford [9]. The challenge confirms that her relative's nickname is Cynthia, her career is a supermodel, the celebrity she dated was Richard Gere [10], and the TV show she appeared on was "House of Style." Pepper selects Lark during the Guess Off and correctly guesses her relative, leading her to be eliminated. "Cindy Crawford is my aunt, she's my mom's sister," Lark shares. "She's one of the most iconic supermodels of all time and I just feel lucky to have her in my life. And I'm lucky to have you guys in my life and for this experience."

Answer: Lark is Cindy Crawford's niece.

Lark's Aunt, Cindy Crawford

Who Is L.C. From "Claim to Fame" Related To?

L.C. throws off the viewers from the start when she lies about her name and about her famous relative being her father. She tells the truth about her famous relative being an actor and that the biggest award they've received is an Emmy. During the fourth episode of the series, L.C. reveals that her celebrity relative is her sister, Keke Palmer, who won an Emmy in 2021. Her clue during the fashion show is a pair of bumble-bee wings and an antenna as a nod to Palmer's role in "Akeelah and the Bee."

"My sister and I are extremely close; I feel like she is my biggest cheerleader," L.C. says. "The one thing that I hope to get out of this experience personally is more self-confidence. I came into this game with horrible social anxiety, so this is me stepping out of the shadow and into the spotlight."

While viewers know the truth about L.C.'s identity, as of episode five, her castmates are still clinging to the possibility that she's Laurence Fishburne's daughter. They're not too far off in their thinking, however, as Fishburne stars in "Akeelah and the Bee" alongside Palmer.

After exposing Logan's identity in the finale, L.C. is named the winner of "Claim to Fame" and the $100,000 prize! "My name is Loreal Chanel, 'L.C.,' I am Keke Palmer's older sister. She is an actress, a singer, a millennial diva. She is my biggest fan just as much as I'm her biggest fan. My parents told me they were pregnant, and I said, 'Can we name the baby Keke?' And my mom said, 'That's not a real name,' and they gave her the middle name Keyana so that we could call her Keke. She's been Keke her whole life," L.C. says.

Answer: L.C. is Keke Palmer's Sister.

L.C.'s Sister, Keke Palmer

Who Is Maxwell From "Claim to Fame" Related To?

Maxwell shares with the cast that his famous relative is his grandfather, but the clues throughout the house throw the other cast members off. His lie is that his grandfather is a singer and tells the truth about his grandfather's biggest award being a Hollywood Star. With the shark and dinosaur characters imprinted in the wall, viewers thought Maxwell was the grandson of Steven Spielberg [11], who famously directed "Jaws" and "Jurassic Park," but the surprising final minutes of the premiere episode proved otherwise.

Maxwell spoke about how his grandfather didn't have a cell phone and was hard to get in touch with, often having to go through lawyers to talk to him. When Pepper is chosen as the person to guess another contestant's identity, she puts Maxwell on the spot and is ready to declare him as Spielberg's grandson. Before she's able to guess his identity, Maxwell is disqualified from the competition and eliminated from the house for using a secret cell phone. He is then revealed as Chuck Norris's grandson, which saves Pepper from elimination.

Answer: Maxwell is Chuck Norris's grandson.

Maxwell's Grandfather, Chuck Norris

Who Is X From "Claim to Fame" Related To?

X made it very clear from the start that he was there to win the prize. He initially lied about his name and that his famous relative is his father. He tells the truth when he says his famous relative is an actor and the biggest award they've received is an Emmy. X shares that he is a composer and performer during the talent show. In the second episode of "Claim to Fame," one of the clues the cast members receive is an orange, which is a nod to X's sister, "Orange Is the New Black [12]" star Laverne Cox. X's real name is M Lamar.

X is eliminated by Lark in the third episode of the show after she receives a clue from Louise, confirming X's famous relative. As he makes his exit, X had the entire cast tearing up with some beautiful words about his sister.

"I am the identical twin sibling of the Emmy-winning producer, 4-time Emmy-nominated actress, icon, and global superstar Laverne Cox. I want to say in front of the world, I love her so much. I think she's the most extraordinary person I've ever met. She has endured all kinds of insanity and continues to stand with so much dignity and pride and go forward and be an inspiration for so many people. Her success is so much bigger than her. The number of Black trans actresses who are on the covers of magazines, who are starring in television shows, all of that did not exist before my sister. And I just want to thank her and praise her."

Answer: X is Laverne Cox's twin brother.

X's Sister, Laverne Cox

During a challenge, there was a spider as one of the clues, which is a direct correlation to the "Spider-Man" movies that Zendaya stars in.
