Beyond Fame
She has a huge fan base. She has over 1.78M followers on her twitter and over 5.8M followers on her Instagram account, whom she keeps updated with every little aspect of her life.

Not many people know this but Pieterse was born in South Africa. She moved to Las Vegas with her parents at the age of three and then to Los Angeles. Even though she is so rich and famous at such a young age, she has not let all the fame get to her head. She is said to be a very down to earth and friendly person. She shares a special bond with her fans.
Behind The Curtains
Sasha comes from a close-knit family that supports her in all that she does. Her fans are also the ones who help her keep going through all the body-shaming comments she faces all the time. She is said to be in a serious relationship with Hudson Sheaffer, who is surprisingly seven years older than her. The two have been dating for many years now and seem to be going pretty strong as there has been news about the two being engaged. Her Parents come from a professional acrobatic dance team that used to perform all over the world. So it’s pretty clear that she was set for a career in the entertainment industry.
