The father of social media star Addison Rae, Monty Lopez, has married again after what appears to have been a very brief romance. Reports by TMZ state that he tied the knot in Las Vegas with a woman named Kaitlyn Nicole Robins, a medical professional from Louisiana.

The wedding reportedly took place at a local chapel late one Saturday night. Monty told the media he didn’t tell anyone about the ceremony beforehand.

"I just followed my heart and I’ve never been happier. I love this woman!"

This is what he said in an exclusive interview. The relationship between Addison and her father has been in the spotlight in recent years. With this new marriage, the family dynamic may once again become a focus of attention. The ceremony reportedly did not include Addison or other family members.


Addison Rae's father, Monty Lopez's wedding

TMZ's report reveals that Addison Rae's dad, Monty Lopez, met Kaitlyn in her home state of Louisiana. Monty spotted her at a bar, and there was a connection, he says, when he called her "my future wife" the same night she caught him staring at her. Shortly thereafter, he asked for her hand in marriage, without a ring, and about twelve hours later, they exchanged vows at the Little Chapel of Hearts in Las Vegas.

Monty said there were no other people present, not even Addison Rae or other close family members. He said he "didn’t tell anyone" ahead of time. Kaitlyn Nicole Robins is a medical professional, originally from Louisiana, though other details about her personal history are limited in the public report. The speed of the marriage raised eyebrows in the media.

Reports by TMZ state that the romance lasted about two weeks before they decided to get married. The "whirlwind" nature of the relationship is highlighted in the coverage.

Background on Monty Lopez & Family Life

Monty Lopez first became widely known through his daughter, Addison Rae, one of TikTok's most followed creators. Monty married Addison Rae's mother, Sheri Easterling, in 2004. Addison was born in 2005. The couple also had two sons: Enzo and Lucas. At one point, they divorced during Addison's childhood, then later remarried in 2017 after Addison's rise to fame. The marriage ended again in 2022 following public cheating allegations.

The relationship between Monty Lopez and Addison Rae has been described as "strained" following the split from Sheri. Addison reportedly is on tour on this date and was not present at her father’s recent wedding.

In addition to being a parent to a popular social media star, Monty has also established himself on social media. He has made a variety of efforts to capitalize on his daughter's popularity and turned the publicity around his personal life back onto himself. But this marriage represents a new direction for Monty personally.

What stands out is the speed at which Monty and Kaitlyn operated from meeting in the casino to heading home from the wedding, which was approximately twelve hours. Some may label this as unexpected or impulsive. Other labels could be bold or just a personal decision. Either way, it will be part of Monty's story for the rest of his life.
