Keith Lee Reveals His Family Has Moved to Texas After 10 Years of Living in Las Vegas: 'God Put Me Here for a Reason'

Keith Lee also revealed he is the 'first person in my entire generation to own a house'

Keith Lee and his family are starting a new chapter.

In a TikTok posted on Nov. 3, the 28-year-old food reviewer revealed that he and his family have officially moved to Texas after 10 years living in Las Vegas, Nev.

"The cat's out of the bag... me and my family live in Texas," he announced in the video. "We [lived] in Vegas for 10 years and all of this started in Vegas."

Lee explained that he first moved to the city when he was 18 years old and "had no idea what I was going to do with my life" before he got into wrestling.

He then outlined the experiences he had while living in Las Vegas, including meeting his wife Ronni, starting his family and becoming a viral TikTok food reviewer.

Lee expressed gratitude for the opportunities that came with his reviews, revealing that he became the "first person in my entire generation to own a house" because of his viral videos. "From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank every single person that we ever came in contact with in Vegas," he continued.

With the move, he also confirmed that he and his family took a break from posting while they settled into their new home, adding that the "unjust criticism" he's been receiving for his content played a role in his social media hiatus.

"The internet can quickly shift from a place that's fun to be on, to quickly reaching an audience that will never see your point of view or understand where you're coming from," he continued. "It was to a point where it really affected me." He explained that he felt the positive things he was trying to do with his platform were being "overshadowed" by "anything people deemed negative."

Despite the negativity, Lee said he believes "God put me here for a reason and I feel like my mission ain't done."

Lee first went viral in 2021 after he began making food reviews of local spots across Las Vegas, noting in his recent TikTok that it "[played a] pivotal role in changing me and my family's lives and over 150 different families across the country in less than a year's time."

Since then, Lee has embarked on food tours across the country, including Atlanta, Ga., Chicago, Ill., and Miami, Fla., and plans to visit more cities in the future.

The TikTok star was recently spoofed in Saturday Night Live's TikTok sketch on Oct. 19, where Lee (played by Kenan Thompson) taste-tested the fictional "hennessy habanero Fruity Pebbles chicken sandwich" from an Atlanta restaurant in his iconic food-reviewing style.

Lee posted his response to the hilarious parody on TikTok and joked that the impersonation was "fair and square" before he jokingly backed away from the camera.
