Who Are Andrew And Tristan Tate? The Independent says that Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in Romania on December 29, 2022, on suspicion of “human trafficking, rape, and making an organised crime group.” But who are the brothers and sisters, and how did they get so popular?

Andrew and Tristan Tate, well-known people in the media, were taken into custody after Romanian police raided their home in Bucharest on Thursday, the authorities told BBC.

Reports say the siblings and two Romanians have been under criminal investigation since April. It comes about 24 hours after Andrew, the older brother, made fun of environmental activist Greta Thunberg in a video with Jerry’s Pizza boxes.

But people think the food boxes have nothing to do with why they are being held. Their lawyer told CNN that a court date was set for today and emphasised that Andrew was not arrested but was being held.

Andrew and Tristan are well-known for their controversial comments about women, which many people have called “misogynistic.” Here’s what we know about the brothers and how they became famous.

Who Are Andrew And Tristan Tate?

Andrew Tate

Emory Andrew Tate III was born on December 1, 1986. He is famous on social media, runs a business, and used to be a professional kickboxer.

Emory Tate is his father, an African American and world-class chess player. His mother is Eileen Ashleigh.

Tate won his first title in 2009 at the British ISKA (International Sport Kickboxing Association) Full Contact Cruiserweight competition. Two years later, he beat Jean-Luc Benoit, who he had already lost to, to win his first ISKA world title.

He gave up fighting when he was 30 because of problems with his retina. During his career, he had two eye injuries.

Tate switched to reality TV in 2016 when he was a guest on the British show Big Brother. However, he kicked off the show after only six days when his racist and homophobic tweets came back to light.

As a TikToker, his popularity grew in 2022, when videos of him talking about male authority over women, violence against the opposite sex, and the bold claim that 18-year-old women are more attractive than 20-year-old women because “they’ve been through less d***” went viral.

People have said that his content could cause men and boys to do bad things in real life.

Because of this, he has been kicked off Instagram and TikTok.

Tristan Tate

The 34-year-old Tate is the middle child. Their younger sister is named Janine.

Tristan followed in Andrew’s footsteps by becoming a kickboxer in Britain and Europe, but injuries cut his career short before it was over. The Mirror says that he has a record of 43–9.

Unlike his brother, his profile has yet to be taken down from most platforms. However, after Elon Musk took over Twitter, he was brought back. He has a total of about 2.8 million followers on social media.
