Alexxis Lemire

Alexxis Lemire was born on May 30, 1996 in Londonderry, New Hampshire, a small town that shaped her Mid‑Atlantic upbringing. She is the daughter of a Puerto Rican mother and a French father, a mixed heritage she has described as both a source of pride and a professional challenge in an industry that often tries to categorize ethnicity. Growing up, Lemire attended Londonderry High School, where she was an active member of the cheerleading squad and participated in school theatre productions, honing the performance skills that would later define her career. After graduating in 2014, she made the bold decision to relocate to Los Angeles with her mother, motivated by a conviction that acting was “the only way I was able to express myself.” The transition from a New England suburb to the bustling Hollywood scene required resilience, but Lemire quickly found work as a professional model, leveraging her striking looks and cultural versatility. She has spoken publicly about navigating casting expectations, noting that she is sometimes deemed “too Latin for a Caucasian role, or not Latin enough,” a tension that fuels her determination to bring authentic stories to the screen. Lemire also has one half‑brother, a family connection she frequently mentions when reflecting on her roots. Her early years in Los Angeles were marked by intensive acting classes, auditions, and runway gigs, laying a solid foundation for her breakthrough in television and film. Lemire's on‑screen debut arrived in 2016 and she soon secured a leading role as Jesse Havnell in the 2017 Syfy horror television film Truth or Dare, showcasing her ability to convey tension and vulnerability. In 2018 she headlined the Lifetime thriller The Art of Murder as Kate Miller, further establishing her presence in genre television. The following year she was cast as Aster Flores in Netflix’s critically acclaimed coming‑of‑age film The Half of It, a performance praised for its nuanced portrayal of a complex teenage character. Alongside acting, Lemire continues to model for fashion brands and lifestyle campaigns, balancing both creative avenues with professionalism. In 2022 she began a public relationship with YouTuber Alex Wassabi, and the couple announced their engagement in August 2025, a milestone that has been celebrated by fans across social media platforms.
