There’s a particular energy around Bella Starey—a kind that doesn’t just hover but pulls at you like a gentle current in an otherwise calm stream. People on TikTok know her as “Bellastarey,” though those who’ve followed her closer, the devoted few, know her by her nickname, “Anal Princess,” a moniker she wields with unapologetic confidence. A Scorpio born on November 7, 1998, she has the kind of force that can draw curiosity from the otherwise inattentive. She’s amassed her following, 650,000 strong and growing, not through calculated posts or manufactured allure, but by sharing pieces of herself in ways that ring true for those tuning in. Her videos, short yet thoughtful, wryly funny but occasionally raw, have racked up over 28 million likes, each a digital nod from fans who feel as though she’s in on something with them.
She doesn’t enter her videos like a hurricane, nor with any grand gestures—she talks plainly, sometimes even softly, about her life as a young adult navigating the fringes of fame and the common, messy trials of existence. It’s her blend of sharp, sometimes irreverent humor and a knack for relatability that have elevated her beyond the level of most influencers. Her followers are the type that don’t just watch; they’re waiting to see what she’ll say next, what insight she might let slip.
Her first TikTok, posted in the fall of 2021, came with an unguarded tone. It wasn’t a shout from a platform; it was a quiet moment, a thought on how she keeps herself calm amid the chaos. This wasn’t the reveal of a poised influencer, but rather an unfiltered window into someone living as she is, unapologetically, at the crossroads of so many roles: model, adult entertainer, and perhaps most surprisingly, someone comfortable with the layers of vulnerability. Bella’s calm wasn’t flashy, but it resonated, especially with others who find themselves needing to dig deep just to stay grounded.
Bella doesn’t shy away from the complexities of her life. In fact, her openness about her mental health has created an odd kind of sanctuary for those who follow her. She doesn’t preach but instead shares the difficult parts of her journey—the self-doubt, the late nights scrolling for answers, the small victories that come when she’s able to break through a day when it felt like everything was against her. Her openness resonates as if her followers are in conversation with her, sharing similar struggles and small victories.
One of her most-watched videos has nothing to do with the lifestyle many would assume she leads. On a crisp March afternoon in 2022, Bella shared a video of herself on a lunch date with a homeless veteran. It wasn’t a scripted moment meant to tug at heartstrings, nor did it come across as self-congratulatory. Instead, the video was simply her, sitting at a small cafe table, listening, laughing, and sharing a slice of her day with someone outside the rhythm of her world. The clip received over 4 million views, yet for Bella, it felt like just another part of who she is—a person aware of others, aware of her own circumstances, and with an instinct to bridge those divides, even if just for a meal.
On Instagram, she shifts slightly but doesn’t lose the thread of honesty. Under the handle “ana1princ3ss,” she’s become a figure of fascination, drawing in over 420,000 followers. The pictures she posts are striking and self-assured, each one a brief snapshot that invites a closer look. There’s an underlying humor to the nickname “Anal Princess,” a self-awareness in its brazenness that fans have come to love. It’s as though she’s saying, “This is part of me, yes, but I contain multitudes.” And she does. Every photo, every caption, each seemingly carefree, reveals that Bella has a firm grip on who she is.
There’s a side of her that even surprises those who think they know her. She starred in the music video for “I Love U” by The Chainsmokers, a brush with mainstream media that showcased her charisma and added another layer to her public persona. To her fans, it was a moment of pride, proof that Bella’s charm could extend beyond the intimate nature of TikTok’s small screen.
Away from the carefully curated parts of her public image, Bella’s life has an unpredictable rhythm. She’s dating Drew Taggart, one of the DJs from The Chainsmokers, and the two share snapshots of their life together in small doses. It’s a relationship that feels public yet private, only visible in flickers through shared book recommendations and candid posts. Drew, like Bella, seems to respect the blurred lines she maintains between intimacy and publicity, and the two seem to navigate the public’s gaze with a quiet understanding.
But it isn’t just her humor, her beauty, or her high-profile connections that draw people in. Bella frequently dips into the literary, recommending books like those by Ryan Holiday, dropping hints at a side of her mind that thrives on reflection and introspection. To her fans, she’s not just an entertainer but a modern thinker, someone who reads, contemplates, and isn’t afraid to share what she’s learned.
There’s something about the steady hum of her voice, the unpretentious way she talks about her life, that resonates deeply with her audience. Bella isn’t a caricature or a carefully controlled brand. She’s messy, real, and gloriously unfiltered, a woman who’s unapologetic about her identity as both a sexual being and a thinker. And in a world that often prefers its influencers polished and predictable, Bella has carved out a space for herself—a space that invites both admiration and the kind of genuine connection that lasts longer than a fleeting trend.
Her life is not a performance but a series of small, interconnected moments shared in glimpses. It’s an invitation to anyone who might feel, just for a moment, that they’re not alone in their own complexity. And that is perhaps the quiet power of Bella Starey: she’s a reminder that real connections are often formed through shared struggles, shared laughter, and a willingness to show up just as you are, complexities and all.
