TikTok pair Shay and Bria, loved for their funny and touching videos, are now dealing with a personal tragedy. Their brother Chris has gone missing. Aunt D, their mom, shared the news during a heartfelt livestream. She explained that Chris’s car was discovered abandoned close to a bridge, but there was no trace of him.

The family, known and adored online for sharing open and warm moments, received overwhelming support from their followers. Aunt D, named Deana, shared that search teams were working while she spoke about worries over her son’s mental state. She said Chris had struggled for a long time with anxiety and PTSD. Her heartfelt request to pray and show compassion resonated with many people watching.

This happened a few days after Shay faced some kind of health issue. The family hasn’t said if the two events are connected, but Aunt D mentioned the timing and seemed worried. People online are talking about it a lot, and different stories have popped up—though not all have been verified—about where Chris might be. Some even say a body was found. The family, however, hasn’t confirmed anything.


Fans rally behind TikTok duo Shay and Bria amid family crisis

Shay and Bria are two young women in their late 20s who are on the autism spectrum. They’ve earned a big audience thanks to their fun and relatable videos that highlight their strong connection as siblings. In late 2024, Shay wore an Ariana Grande T-shirt during a popular sibling skit, which helped their fame grow. That video became a hit and even grabbed the attention of the pop star herself.

Ariana Grande responded by sending Shay and Bria a care package along with a heartfelt video message. She shared her gratitude and love for the content they created.

Even with the current troubling situation, Aunt D defended Grande after some online criticism. In a livestream, she spoke of the singer’s kindness and asked people to stop body-shaming and spreading negativity. She reminded everyone how Grande had shown real support to her daughters.

She said,

“Ariana Grande is a beautiful, sweet, sweet person. You don't know nothing about her, nothing she done been through in Jesus' name. So don't you judge her. It's because she's small. You don't know what her circumstance is. It's because the lady got some money. It don't matter what kind of money you got.”

While Shay and Bria’s family goes through this tough period, fans and other creators keep showing their support. As the search to find Chris carries on and the road ahead remains unclear, people remain committed to standing by the family. Shay and Bria have brought happiness, openness, and genuine moments to others through their work.
