Kaido Lee Roberts opens up after break up & death rumors about his dad

Kaido Lee Roberts is having one of the worst months ever. The young Dhar Mann star recently went through a painful breakup with girlfriend Salish Matter, and now he’s being forced to deal with trolls spreading completely fake rumors that his father died.

Well, his dad is very much alive, and with a very painful seriousness, Kaido is over having to explain it.

Why Did Kaido Lee Roberts and Salish Matter Break Up?

Now let’s talk about the breakup that started all this drama. Kaido and Salish Matter (daughter of YouTuber Jordan Matter) were the internet’s favorite young couple. Their relationship started as a friendship before turning romantic, and fans totally shipped them together. When they finally confirmed they were dating, the “Salish-Kaido shippers” went wild.

But here’s where it gets darker. According to sources close to the situation, Kaido started receiving death threats from angry “Nalish” shippers (fans who wanted Salish Matter with another creator, Nidal Wonder). The threats got so bad that Salish allegedly broke up with Kaido for his safety, not because she wanted to.

Ever since Salish and Kaido started dating, Kaido had been getting death threats because some people had been shipping Nalish for some time and they got angry. The reason Salish broke up with him was for his safety. She broke up with him so he didn’t have to deal with the death threats anymore. They are still friends though.

In late October 2025, Kaido Lee Roberts confirmed the breakup wasn’t actually mutual, despite what they initially told fans. “You can see the pain in his eyes and voice,” one concerned fan wrote. The Salish-Nidal shippers have been trolling him nonstop, which has his fanbase seriously worried about his mental health.

What Happened to Kaido Lee Roberts’ Dad? Setting The Record Straight

As if the breakup drama wasn’t enough, trolls started spreading a completely false rumor that Kaido’s father had died. Let’s be crystal clear: Kaido Lee Roberts’ dad is NOT dead. When did Kaido Lee Roberts’ dad die? He didn’t. How did Kaido Lee Roberts’ dad die? He didn’t. What happened to Kaido Lee Roberts’ dad? Absolutely nothing.

His father is alive and well, and Kaido is seriously over having to explain this.

How did the rumors about Kaido Lee Roberts’ father’s death start? Well, the rumors about Kaido Lee Roberts’ father’s death started right after his breakup with Salish Matter. Someone from the Salish-Nidal fanbase apparently made up the story, and it went super viral, so it pretty much originated from the same group of Salish-Nidal shippers who have been harassing Kaido online.

Even though Kaido has confirmed multiple times that his dad is alive, many people still keep running with the rumors as being true.

Comments kept flooding his posts with “Rest in peace” messages about his dad. One user even wrote with all care and sincerity:

“Heyy kaido I’m sorry about wat happened to ur DAD Rest in peace.”

Another user tried debunking it saying,

“Kaido’s Dad isn’t dead guysss stop spreading fake rumours.”

But it still continued, so much so that Kaido had to step in shut it down himself, replying directly to comments:

“Thank you but my dad is NOT dead.”

Even after his direct response, people kept spreading the fake news. His dad is alive and well, and there’s no truth to any of the death rumors whatsoever.

Why Was Kaido Lee Roberts Emotional During His TikTok Livestream

People have been asking why Kaido Lee Roberts was emotional during his TikTok livestream, and honestly, who can blame him? During a recent live session, Kaido opened up about everything he’s been dealing with. The breakup, the death threats, the lies about his family; particularly the rumor that his dad who is very much alive is dead. It’s all been weighing on the 15-year-old actor.

Fans watching could see how much pain he was in. The usually upbeat star looked exhausted from constantly having to defend himself against trolls and fake rumors. His supporters flooded the comments asking people to leave him alone and stop the harassment so he could focus on his health and wellbeing.

“You guys need to stop,” wrote one concerned fan, putting in words what thousands of others were thinking. The emotional livestream showed just how much the online harassment has impacted the 15-year-old’s mental health and wellbeing, which, for some weird reasons the trolls tend to not see, and back off.

Kaido Lee Roberts’ Dad Name & His Family

So who is Kaido’s family, anyway? Since people seem a little confused about Kaido Lee Roberts’ dad’s name and his family, let’s clear things up. While Kaido keeps his parents’ names relatively private for safety reasons, both his mom and dad have been super supportive of his acting career from day one.

His mom especially noticed how much he loved acting and helped him get into classes early on. She later found him an agent, which kickstarted his career in the industry.

Kaido spent most of his early years balancing school with auditions and filming, in between middle school coursework. Even as a kid, he showed a lot of confidence in front of the camera.

Kaido’s mom has always been part of his career. She manages his social media accounts (since he’s still a minor) and regularly attends events with him, including the Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk in 2024. His parents also help manage his social media accounts and make sure everything he posts is safe.

Does Kaido Lee Roberts Have a Brother? How Old Is Kaido Lee Roberts’ Sister?

Does Kaido Lee Roberts have a brother? Nope. Kaido Lee Roberts does not have a brother publicly mentioned, but he does have a sister. He also has a well-known acting partner, Shaun Dixon, who plays the character “Jay” in Dhar Mann videos, where Roberts plays “Mikey.” Some fans confuse their on-screen partnership for a real brotherly relationship.

How old is Kaido Lee Roberts’ sister? He has one younger sister, whose name is Ciera Marie Roberts. Now, his sister, Ciera Marie, was born on September 23, 2014, and is currently 11 years old. She sometimes appears on his social media pages.

Kaido Lee Roberts currently lives with his family in Los Angeles, California, along with their pet dogs. Kaido is professionally represented by Industry415 Creative Artists Agency.

 Kaido’s Career Is Still Thriving

Despite all the personal drama, Kaido’s career is actually thriving. The Dhar Mann star has expanded beyond web series into music, releasing the “Sweet Thang” music video in September 2025, which ironically featured Salish Matter before their split.

He rose to fame for his appearances as Mikey Miller on Dhar Mann and has also appeared on Netflix’s Family Reunion. He also had a role on Brat TV as Peyton. He made his professional acting debut on Dhar Mann in 2021.

His social media numbers are massive: 2.5 million TikTok followers with 22 million all-time content likes, 900K on Instagram, and 620K YouTube subscribers with 98 million all-time views. His estimated net worth sits at $320k thousand, earned through acting, YouTube ad revenue, brand deals, TikTok Creator Program earnings, and his growing music career.

He’s also been building friendships with other creators, recently hanging out with Paultooreall and Brooks Harvey at VidCon 2025.

Key Takeaway, really

Let’s say it one more time for the people in the back: Kaido Lee Roberts’ father is alive. The death rumors are completely false and were started by trolls trying to mess with him during an already difficult time. Kaido and Salish broke up because of death threats and harassment, not because they stopped caring about each other.

The kid is 15 years old and dealing with way more than most teens should have to handle. His fans are hoping the trolls back off and let this kid live his life. And please, stop asking what happened to Kaido Lee Roberts’ dad because nothing happened. He’s fine.
