Why Katianna Stoermer Coleman would want to maintain a low profile is understandable. Particularly when your sister has appeared in Dune, Marvel films, and an HBO hit. You’ll sometimes see siblings of well-known athletes or movie stars enjoy the attention that comes with their sibling’s line of work. They not only accept it but also participate in it, using some of the spotlight to draw attention to themselves.
Others, however, would rather stay out of it. Instead, they strive to avoid any appearance of stardom and prefer their seclusion. In the latter category is Katianna Stoermer Coleman. She is Zendaya’s sister, and compared to her sister’s enormous celebrity, she is a little bit mysterious.
KATIANNA STOERMER COLEMAN IS ZENDAYA’S OLDER SISTER
The youngest of six siblings is Katianna Stoermer Coleman. One of those six may sound familiar to you among the others. The sister we’re talking about has previously gone by the name “MJ.” The other name for this sibling is Rue Bennett. Yes, Zendaya’s sister Katianna Stoermer Coleman is her sister Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman.
Kazembe Ajamu Coleman gave birth to Katianna Stoermer Coleman in Oakland, California; her family and friends refer to her as Kizzi. Unfortunately, we don’t know the exact time, which has caused uncertainty on whether Katianna is Zendaya’s older sister or not.
Since Zendaya was born in 1996 and she was recorded as having been born in 1999 by certain media, Katianna would have been Zendaya’s younger sister. Despite the lack of a concrete date or year, further research has revealed that Katianna Stoermer Coleman’s birth year of 1999 is erroneous. She is Zendaya’s older sister, which is a fact.
The mother of Katianna Stoermer Coleman is another matter with scant information. We are aware that it is not Claire Stoermer, Zendaya’s mother. In actuality, Kizzi’s mother gave birth to Zendaya’s other brothers and sisters, making them half-siblings.
An Instagram post by Katianna Stoermer Coleman’s father is the closest thing we have to information about her mother. It shows Kazembe with two females. Except for what Kazembe mentioned in his description, we only know the identity of one of them: Zendaya’s mother Claire. Me and my baby mothers! LOL, he captioned the image. Obviously, we are making assumptions here, but the evidence is provided below.
Katianna Stoermer Coleman was raised in Oakland, California, as was the rest of the family. There aren’t many facts available about Kizzi’s upbringing because she likes to avoid the spotlight (apart from the rare social media post where Zendaya mentions her).
Zendaya attended Fruitvale Elementary School, therefore it may be assumed (again) that Kizzi did as well. This helps to focus the search. Additionally, Kizzi’s stepmother Claire spent 20 years as a teacher at this institution. There is no other information available regarding Kizzi’s academic history.
ZENDAYA STARTED ON DISNEY BUT HAS BECOME A MARVEL AND HBO STAR
Katianna Stoermer Coleman’s desire to stay anonymous is understandable. Some people, however, were not made to be in the spotlight. Kizzi appears to be one of those persons who must have their privacy, as do some others. But given that her sister is so well-known and has a celebrity that is just rising, it is very surprising that Kizzi has managed to remain so mysterious in this day and age when social media rules our lives.
Zendaya began her professional life as a dancer and model. When she was 13 years old, she played the character Rocky Blue in the Disney Channel television series Shake It Up. When she participated in season 16 of Dancing with the Stars, Zendaya gained even more notoriety as Katianna Stoermer Coleman’s sister was starting to establish her own name. She was the youngest star performing at the time (she was 16 at the time).
In the end, Zendaya and professional dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy came in second place behind the team of Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough. Zendaya and Chmerkovskiy were placed up for the competition. She is currently well-known for her romance with Tom Holland, the most recent Spider-Man films, and the smash television series Euphoria.
ZENDAYA HAS POSTED ABOUT HER FAMILY AND KATIANNA STOERMER COLEMAN ON SOCIAL MEDIA
The well-known sister of Katianna Stoermer Coleman is passionate about her family. Zendaya’s father serves as her manager, and the two of them have a close bond. Although Zendaya’s parents have been divorced for almost seven years, the same holds true for Zendaya and her mother.
When Zendaya turned to Twitter a year before her parents filed for divorce to defend them after a Twitter troll decided to share a picture of them, calling her parents “ugly,” she demonstrated to the world how important her family—in this case, her parents—were to her.
Zendaya starts her statement with, “First, I’m going to pray for you.” From there, the younger sister of Katianna Stoermer Coleman handled herself superbly. See how she responds.
Zendaya once again demonstrated her willingness to post on social media when she wished her older sister, Katianna Stoermer Coleman, a happy birthday on Instagram. She referred to Kizzi as “the most amazing big sister in the world” in her posting.
“She’s always been wonderful in my eyes and I’m so grateful to have her, so to all those people who call ME their “role model,” can thank HER,” Zendaya concluded her heartfelt birthday message to her sister. More than words can say, I love you.
ZENDAYA’S OTHER SIBLINGS ARE KAYLEE, AUSTIN, ANNABELLA, AND JULIEN
The five siblings of Katianna Stoermer Coleman are included in Cosmopolitan. The four other people are Kizzi’s biological siblings, but we all know Zendaya is Kizzi’s half-sibling or should at this point. Kaylee Stoermer Coleman, Austin Stoermer Coleman, AnnaBella Stoermer Coleman, and Julien Stoermer Coleman are the names of the individuals. However, there are some reservations over the potential of a further sibling.
This issue arose after Kizzi’s father shared a photo of himself with Latonja Coleman, his adolescent sweetheart, on Instagram in October 2020. A young woman was pictured cradling a baby in the image.
When Kazembe posted a photo of his “entire” family, sparking Latonja’s question, “Am I still part of this family?,” the riddle only got murkier. Katianna Stoermer Coleman may therefore have six siblings.
KATIANNA STOERMER COLEMAN‘S ONLY SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE IS IN OTHER’S POSTS
There isn’t much additional information available about Kizzi, which helps to explain why it’s unclear where she falls on the spectrum of siblings. Katianna Stoermer Coleman has frequently been referred to as Zendaya’s younger sister, and there have even been images of Zendaya with younger ladies.
These appear to be images of Zendaya with her nieces rather than Kizzi, from what we can tell. Again, we can understand where people could be confused, but in reality, Kizzi is Zendaya’s older sister, and you can see her in the image above. She is seated in the centre of Zendaya and AnnaBella.
Unless she suddenly appears in photos provided by Zendaya or her father, Kizzi avoids social media. Consider the photo of the Coleman family. The infant is being held by Kizzi in front.
On National Siblings Day, Zendaya included her older sister Kizzi in yet another Instagram photo. Once more, Katianna Stoermer Coleman is at the front and is donning a thin sweater.
What Kizzi does for a living is unknown. She continues to maintain a low profile, therefore it is still presumed that she lives in or close to Oakland, California, although that has not been proven. Kizzi might eventually take a small step into the spotlight, but in the meantime, excellent for her. Enjoy the prominence that Zendaya gives to the family while maintaining a private life.
