- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
On “Claim to Fame,” 12 relatives of celebrities remove themselves from the outside world — no TV and internet — and spend several weeks trying to figure out how they’re all famous-adjacent.
Each week on the reality competition show, the contestants uncover clues about identities through a series of games and challenges, and mysteries start to fall in place. Now, the show is down to its final four: Gabriel, Chris and Monay.
Here’s a look at what we know about Gabriel.

How does ‘Claim to Fame’ work?
On “Claim to Fame,” clues are peppered throughout the mansion where the contestants stay for several weeks. Over the course of the show — which is hosted by pop star Kevin Jonas and his lesser-known brother, Frankie Jonas — the guests attempt to uncover each other’s identities.
During each episode, the contestants — who may or may not use their real names — compete in challenges. The winner of a challenge is exempt from being identified. The group then picks one of the bottom two contestants to be the “guesser,” per Women’s Health magazine.
The guesser has to pick a contestant and guess their celebrity relative. If they get it right, the contestant goes home — but if they get it wrong, the guesser’s celebrity connection is revealed and the guesser goes home.
The last person standing receives a $100,000 prize.

Who is Gabriel on ‘Claim to Fame’ Season 2?
In the season premiere, which featured a two truths and a lie game, Gabriel told his fellow contestants that his celebrity relative is his brother, an athlete who has received an NAACP Award (per Parade, the lie is his relative being an athlete).
Per Parade, other clues about Gabriel’s relative over the season have included:
Born in San Diego, California.
A star logo, drumsticks and a propeller hat.
His relative was on Nickelodeon (a clue that Gabriel only told viewers, not contestants).
During the Aug. 7 episode, Gabriel shared his most revealing clue with Chris: A puzzle that included “symbols for a man pushing a stroller, the number two, 10 baby emojis, a drum and a star,” according to Entertainment Weekly.
“I think anybody who has been paying attention to pop culture lately understands who the young man (is) who been pushing out baby after baby after baby after baby after baby after baby after baby after baby after baby,” Gabriel said during the episode, per Entertainment Weekly.
Chris had no idea what the clue meant, but told Gabriel he did. And although Chris promised not to share the clue with anyone else, he ended up passing it along to Karsyn, who he thought was going to be eliminated at the end of the episode and wanted to get as much information from as possible. So it’s likely that Gabriel could soon be found out.
But so far on the show, Gabriel has done a good job convincing contestants that he is related to an athlete — hailing back to the two truths and a lie game from episode one. One of the most recent contestant guesses has been NFL player Julius Peppers, according to Screen Rant.
Even into episode 9, the contestants have thought Gabriel’s relative is an athlete. Monay finally figured it out and started leading Karsyn and Chris astray, making them temporarily think that Gabriel was related to T-Pain and then, ultimately, Kel Mitchell. During episode 10, Karsyn told Chris she thought Gabriel was related to Terry Crews.
Many outlets are reporting that Gabriel’s celebrity relative is likely Nick Cannon. The TV personality was born in San Diego, was on the Nickelodeon show “All That” and starred in the film “Drumline.” He’s also been in headlines over the past few years for having children with multiple women.
