In recent years, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram have emerged as the hottest social media platforms which flourish new celebrities with each passing day, and among them is 23-year-old Alexandra Elizabeth Hensler, aka Lexi Hensler, (b.

Lexi, who is of French and Ukrainian ethnicity, has Sagittarius as her zodiac sign.
During her high school years, Hensler was bullied to the point that she even ate her lunch in the restroom to avoid her bullies. Unable to cope up with bullying, the former model changed her high school, due to which she lost the chance to grow up with her older brother, who is now in Washington DC. From acting to being a social media influencer, Hensler's journey to fame was full of struggles.
