    So, she is “only” half Colombian ?? I’m shocked!

    Ethnicity should be changed to 1/2 Colombian (Mostly Spanish and Basque, possibly other) and 1/2 English (possibly other). Karly Marina Loaiza (b. 17 July 1993) was born in Alexandria, VA to Colombian father Kiolkuin Loaiza and American mother Betsy Boteler. Loaiza is a Basque surname. Through her mother she is of mostly English heritage with roots in colonial America. Loaiza’s maternal grandparents are Allan Lee Boteler and Joyce Anne Burroughs. Her great-grandparents are George Zachary Boteler, Eva Virginia Reid, John Mitchell Burrows and Helen Louise Butler. All of her maternal great-grandparents are of colonial English descent.

    It is said that her mother is a white woman from Viriginia, I saw a photo of her and she is really white with blue eyes. She probably said she was 100% Colombian to have a sexier appeal.

  4. Akwaba says:

    She is a white Colombian, she use fake tan since 2017

    • Mixed Kidd says:

      Well we don’t know that 100% if she does have other ancestry… To me, she looks like she could be mixed

        She is mixed. Ethnicity should be changed to 1/2 Colombian (Mostly Spanish and Basque, possibly other) and 1/2 English. Loaiza is a basque surname. Her mother, Betsy Boteler is of English heritage with roots in colonial America. Kali’s maternal grandparents, Allan Lee Boteler and Joyce Anne Burroughs were born in Virginia. Her maternal great-grandparents, George Zachary Boteler, Eva Virginia Reid, John Mitchell Burroughs, and Helen Louise Butler were all americans of colonial English descent. Kali is a natural blonde with fair skin.

    • wlvr says:

      Yes, photo should be updated to a picture more reflective of her real pale skin tone. Essentially any picture of her pre-2016.
