Early life and family

Sara Ayres Underwood was born on March 16, 1991 in Columbus, Georgia, USA, so her zodiac sign is Pisces and she is an American national; she is of partial Welsh descent. She was adopted by the Hopkins family, who had two daughters, Kristin and Casey. Her adoptive father’s name is Kenny Hopkins, and her adoptive mother is Karen Hopkins, who have lived together for over 25 years as of 2020 – Sara’s son is their first grandson. Sara once wrote on her Instagram that she was “blessed and thankful to have” Kenny Hopkins as her dad, adding, “Especially because he didn’t have to be my dad at all…but he chose to be.”

Sara hasn’t shared many details about her childhood, except that she had a dream of becoming a flight attendant and spent nine summers in summer camps (and loved it).

Educational background

In 2009, Sara graduated from her local high school and was in the top 4% of her class, in part, she says, because she didn’t smoke or drink in school and was completely focused on her education. In 2013, Sara graduated from Auburn University with a BA in Radio, Television and Film.

Career

Life for fame

Sara started as a news reporter at WWAY News Channel 3 in August 2014 and developed her career in the field of television broadcasting. In early 2015, she appointed the Director of Special Projects and also started working as an on-air host.

In the same year, she started posting her videos on the Vine application, which was quite popular that year. She quickly gained more and more subscribers and eventually found it difficult to balance her online activities with a full-time job.

Social media career

At the beginning of 2016, Sara understood that this was too much for her to use up all her energy: ‘I called my mother every day on the hour, back and forth. It was such a struggle. I was torn mentally and emotionally because that’s why I had gone to school for and trained for and paid all the big bucks at Auburn University for,” Sara said in her interview to AOL. Her biggest fear was not using her degree after she got it, since you don’t have to be an Auburn graduate to be Viner.

However, in March 2016, she quit her TV job to fully focus on her social media career, developing her Vine account, YouTube channel and Instagram profile at the same time.

In late 2016, she became one of the finalists of the Shorty Awards, finishing second in the “Snapchatter of the Year” category, as Sara was an active user of the Snapchat app. By the time the Vine app shut down she had over 950,000 subscribers which came as a real shock to Sara who quit her job to create content for the mobile app but she didn’t regret it and then focused on other social media platforms.

As of 2020, Sara has over 230,000 subscribers on her Instagram account and over 65,000 followers on her personal YouTube channel. Although she is not very consistent in creating content for the latter, she is very active on her Instagram profile, has multiple contracts with different brands and companies, collaborates with Starbucks, Amazon, Warner Brothers, Target, etc. but she says her most exciting project is her collaboration with Coke.

Sara is now back under contract with Wellements, a company that supplies supplements and organic products for newborns and toddlers. Becoming a mother gave Sara more opportunities to secure commercial contracts with companies that provide various gadgets, supplies and services for children and parents.

Television career

Sara tried herself as an actress and appeared in two episodes of the TV series “Secrets and Lies” in 2015, when she got the role of a reporter for “The Trail” and “The Father”. The great thing about her on-screen career is that she didn’t even know she would star in a movie, yet she was caught by the camera in one of the scenes filmed in 2006 for “Broken Bridges”, starring Toby Keith, Willie Nelson and Burt Reynolds. She was in the audience of the venue and she’s pretty sure it was sheer accident that she came into the picture.

Personal life, husband Robert Ayala

Sara started dating another Viner, Robert “Robby” Ayala, in 2015 and the couple got engaged in early 2017. Robby wanted to propose underwater, but Sara’s father asked him not to, as he was sure Sara would spit. the regulator from her mouth, so Robby ‘keep it simple’ and proposed on the beach during the sunset. On December 31, 2016, Robby got down on one knee and asked Sara the question, but she couldn’t even answer because she was crying, and people around them wondered if Sara was about to say, “No,” and Robby sat still on his knee. Finally Sara replied: ‘Yes!’ The only thing Sara and Robby regret is that they didn’t have any pictures of their engagement because their boyfriend, who was supposed to join them on that vacation to Roatan, Honduras, got pregnant and was scared of the Zika virus. so she stayed home.

Sara and Robby got married in November 2017. Robby is also an internet personality with over 3.5 million subscribers on the Vine app. He also has his personal YouTube channel and is quite popular on Instagram.

Gave birth to her first son, Aidan Joaquin Ayala

Sara gave birth to her first child, Aidan Joaquin Ayala, on September 10, 2019, and subsequently posted multiple posts on her Instagram account admitting that she suffered from postpartum depression. She revealed that only the right meds and therapy helped her get out of the hell she felt, wanting the day to be over before it even started: “I’m awash with feelings of guilt, fear, inadequacy and emptiness as I this paralyzing, overwhelming love for this new life. Postpartum depression is a beast,” she said wrote on National Mental Health Day.

Sara also thinks her son’s birth trauma has affected her condition. Her son’s head was a bit flat after the manipulations during the delivery process, so the doctor designed a special helmet for Aidan to gradually reshape the skull. Sara and Robby also wore similar mock helmets to cheer up their son and show him there was nothing to be ashamed of with such a helmet.
