For opening a shop in Louisiana, her father, Paul helped her.

In her podcast, Mama Knows Best, she disclosed the reason behind opening the reselling business was because she wanted to have something for herself and provide for her daughter, Addison. Her, venture, however, didn’t work out.

As of 2022, she has over 15 million followers on the podium.

In July 2020, Easterling and her first child launched season 1 of their podcast, titled Mama Knows Best. The season met its finale in December the same year after 25 episodes.

The first season of the podcast, which aired every Monday, provided an inside look at Rae’s relationship with her mom.

Sheri’s Relationship With Addison’s Rae Father 

Sheri first married her husband Monty Lopez on January 3, 2004. But before that, she had become pregnant with his baby and given birth to her famous daughter, Addison Rae.

A few years after the marriage, she would divorce Lopez and start living as a single mom.

In the first-ever episode of the podcast, Mama Knows Best, Sheri revealed after the divorce, Rae’s father would come around every now and then.

Sheri And Monty Lopez Started To Date Again After The Divorce

When Addison was six, Sheri again started to date her daughter’s father and within a few months became pregnant with their second child, a son, Enzo.

Even when their second child was on the way they broke things up and would reconcile again. With Enzo and Addison, Easterling lived in an RV for a while as it was what she could afford at the time.

After a while, she moved to Texas with her two kids and her husband turned boyfriend, Monty. Rae was then in the fifth grade. Texas was also where Sheri’s parents were living.

After that, Easterling, her two kids, and her husband stated to live in northern Houston and would remain there for 2 years.

When in Texas she got pregnant for the third time; it was with Lucas. Lucas, henceforth, became the only one who was born outside of Louisiana from Addison’s family.

She Went Through Financial Trouble; Her Daughter Was Bullied

In Texas, too, Sheri suffered financial instability. After living in the Lon Star state for two years, Monty got a job offer back in Louisiana but not where they used to live so the housing man and his wife along with their children moved back to northern Louisiana.

Sheri also wanted to move back to Louisiana as her daughter was facing bullies in Texas because of their living conditions.

After moving to back to Louisiana, Rae started her eighth grade. Sheri and her family started living in an apartment; they had outdoor chairs and plastic tables as dinner spots.

Even after relocating back to Louisiana, Lopez and Easterling’s daughter faced bullies. They mock her this time for not having uggs. Rae revealed through her podcast that she would come home crying explaining what happened.

After hearing this, Sheri bought uggs for her daughter which then cost about 200 and the mother-daughter duo admit it wasn’t cheap.

Sheri Remarried Monty Lopez In The Late 2010s

When Rae was in high school, Easterling and Lopez decided to remarry and walked down the aisle for the second time on January 4, 2017.

Sometime after marrying Lopez for the second time, Sheri and the rest of her family moved to Baton Rouge so that they could live with their daughter who was there for her university education.

When Her Daughter Became Famous

Her first child hit one million followers, in October of 2019, and moved to Los Angeles in December 2019 to pursue TikTok full time. She soon became a member of the TikTok collective, The Hype House, which pushed her to wider fame.

But after her daughter became famous in TikTok, she and the rest of the family moved to LA.

Sheri Easterling Net Worth  

Despite multiple reports and claims, the true disclosure of Easterling’s net worth is nothing but something that has been sitting on the fence for a while.

The mother of three nonetheless is certainly far from the period of financial hardship she used to go through when starting a family.

She clearly has multiple avenues of income in addition to her & her family’s recent undertaking in the cryptocurrency industry. Worth mentioning is the monetary benefits from signing the contract with WME.

While it’s quite unlikely Sheri is as rich as her daughter who has a wealth worth close to $10million, there’s no denying the assumption that she could have deep pockets.
