Actor and social media star Madison Pettis is the girlfriend of Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr. Porter Jr. confirmed the relationship to the Kansas City Star in 2017 at media day prior to the McDonald’s All-American game in Chicago.

Pettis is a native of Arlington, Texas and is best known for her role as Sophie Martinez on the popular Disney Channel show “Cory in the House.” Her first big break came in 2007. When Pettis was nine years old she starred opposite Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the movie “The Game Plan.”

Since bursting onto the scene as a child, Pettis remained in the spotlight and has taken advantage of social media. She currently has over 3.5 million Instagram followers and 1.5 million Twitter followers.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. They Share A “Relaxed” Relationship

It’s also a long distance relationship. Pettis spends most of her time in Hollywood and Porter Jr. is still in college at the University of Missouri in Columbia. It’s unclear how much time the couple spends together and they don’t have any recent pictures of each other together on social media. Despite that, Porter Jr. and Pettis seem very comfortable with the status of their relationship.

“Part of it has to do with, she’s in the public eye and I’m in the public eye,” Porter Jr. told the KC Star. “We realize that we’re both busy people, so we don’t have to always be texting. I could just give her a phone call at night and she’ll be fine with it.”

Porter Jr. made his first public appearance with Pettis at the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards on the red carpet. They both commemorated the night on social media. Pettis posted a snap of Porter Jr. during the drive over to the event. Porter Jr. posted a selfie of the couple on Instagram.

2. The Couple Met On Instagram

Porter Jr. has been shy in the past about telling the story on how the couple met. “She told me not to share that story,” Porter Jr. said to the KC Star with a laugh.

However Porter Jr. eventually spilled the beans. “Me and her had talked a little bit,” he told USA Today. “We started following each other on Instagram. One day, I saw she commented happy birthday on one of my pictures. She’s been a kind of a crush of mine for a minute and I had to slide her some DMs. I just said ‘What’s Up’ and somehow she saw it and replied and the rest is history.”

3. The Rock Gave Pettis Her Big Break

In the 2007 feature film “The Game Plan,” Pettis portrayed Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s curly-haired ballerina daughter. Since her remarkable performance, Pettis has been in the public glare and continues to grow in prominence.

In addition to other small appearances, she played in the Canadian adolescent sitcom “Life with Boys” and the Disney Channel series “Cory in the House.” She made her NBC debut in a single episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 2017. Facebook Watch will host her new series, Five Points.

4. Pettis Has Dated Other Celebrities

Prior to dating Porter Jr., Pettis dated musician Kalin White from 2014-16. From 2012-13, Pettis was single. Prior to that she dated fellow actors Jaden Smith and Bryce Cass.

Pettis was also rumored to be hooking up with fellow actor Cameron Boyce in 2013 while she was single. Her first relationship was recorded in 2009, when Pettis was just 11 years old.

5. Acting Runs In The Family

Antoinette Mia Pettis, an actress and model, has a younger sister named Madison. Madison started acting at the age of five, following in the footsteps of her older sister. I hope I can continue doing it indefinitely. She said, “I adore it,” to IMDB. Compared to her elder sister, Madison has achieved noticeably greater success.

Steven, Madison’s older brother, decided to pursue a different professional path and enlisted in the US Army. The parents of Madison are of mixed race. Her mother is Caucasian, while her father is African-American.

When Madison is not on set, she keeps up with her studies at school. She also enlists the help of a tutor while on set and enjoys her studying “I love researching. That’s one of my favorite parts about school,” Madison told IMDB.

She also likes to shop, go to football games, homecoming dances and other “normal things. Her favorite book was The BFG which she first read in first grade.
