Kiana Madeira

Kiana Madeira, born November 4, 1992 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is a Canadian actress whose career has spanned more than a decade. Growing up in Mississauga, she discovered a passion for performance at the age of five after being captivated by John Travolta’s turn in the musical Grease, an influence that ignited her imagination and set her on a path toward the screen. By her early teens she was actively participating in school productions and community theater, honing a craft that would later translate to professional opportunities. In 2007, at just fifteen, she secured her first on‑screen credit, marking the beginning of a steady ascent in the entertainment industry. Madeira’s breakthrough arrived with the role of Moe in the Netflix series Trinkets, where her nuanced portrayal of a teen grappling with identity and friendship resonated with a global audience and demonstrated her capacity for both comedic timing and dramatic depth. The momentum continued when, in February 2019, she was cast as Deena in the Fear Street horror trilogy, a Netflix‑released project that showcased her versatility in genre storytelling and solidified her status as a rising star in contemporary cinema. In 2021 she was announced to co‑star with Ross Butler in the romance‑action film Perfect Addiction, further expanding her repertoire. Off screen, Madeira’s personal life has been marked by a long‑standing partnership with fellow actor Lovell Adams‑Gray, whom she began dating in 2017, became engaged to in 2021, and married in September 2023. Although she relocated to the United States in 2017 to pursue broader opportunities, she remains deeply connected to her Canadian roots, frequently visiting family and embracing her dual cultural identity.
