Born to Brad and MaryLynne Stella of The Stellas, Maisy and Lennon Stella’s percussion cover of Robyn’s ‘Call Your Girlfriend’ ushered them into viral fame and led to roles on TV series Nashville

If there’s one thing actress Maisy Stella is great at, it’s going viral without even trying to. Her first brush with viral fame came at the age of eight when she and her sister Lennon Stella uploaded a cup percussion cover of Robyn’s “Call Your Girlfriend” on YouTube.

Now, 12 years later, she’s been in headlines again for her extraordinary rapport with the queen of deadpan, Aubrey Plaza, both on and off-screen of their new movie My Old Ass – where they play younger and older versions of the same character, Elliott. In particular, a BuzzFeed Celeb video pitting the two against one another in a Gen Z vs millennial battle is doing the rounds on the internet.

Amid this buzz, Stella seemingly shared another major life update with fans: she might be dating The Last of Us and Game of Thrones actor Bella Ramsey, based on their back and forth on social media and, more evidently, Stella’s Instagram Story celebrating Ramsey’s birthday. “Beautiful beautiful beautiful happy birthday the coolest comfiest most wonderful human imaginable,” Stella wrote in honour of the Emmy-nominated Ramsey turning 21. She then posted a pic of them together, with Ramsey kissing her on the cheek.

Both young actors are shaping up to be bright rising stars. So, what else do we know about Maisy Stella?

Maisy Stella was born on December 13, 2003, in Oshawa, Canada, but she’s now based in Nashville, Tennessee. Her parents, Brad and MaryLynne Stella, are a musical duo called The Stellas.

After going viral, she and her sister, Lennon, appeared on the TV series Nashville (2012-18), performed in award shows, and even wrote a children’s book called In the Waves. After Nashville ended, she spent the next four years enjoying life as an ordinary high school student, per Teen Vogue.
