**Kristin Smith** (born March 31, 1989), better known online as **Kalel** is an American YouTube personality.

## Early Life

Kalel was born Kristin Smith on March 31st 1989 in St. Louis, Missouri to Dana and Gregory Smith. It is unknown if she has a middle name or not. She has one older brother.

At some point during childhood she was a girl scout.

### Name

Kalel's birth name is Kristin Smith, but she goes by Kalel. When she first joined YouTube in 2009 she went by Kalel Cullen, stating that it was her real name, that she was named after Clark Kent and that her surname was not related to Twilight, but that her fathers family originated in Scotland.

She later revealed this story was false, and that she named herself Kalel to protect her identity online.

She started going by the name Kalel online around 2009 (though she may have started using it offline before) and not long after began using the last name Cullen. Around 2012 she dropped the name Cullen and began going to be Kalel, although sometimes her socials where under Kalel Kitten or Kalel Padilla.

As of 2022 she mostly goes by Kalel or Kalel Smith. It is unknown if she ever legally changed her name or if Kalel is just a nickname.
