Jacob Sartorius only started his YouTube channel three months ago, but in that short time, the Music.ly heartthrob has amassed 1.5 million unwavering followers. It's that support that makes Jacob feel like he can tell his fans anything, and in his latest video blog, he opened up about something very personal.

"I'm very open with you guys and I try to share everything that's going on in my life because I consider you guys like my family," he shared. "Speaking of family, I have something to tell you guys that I think will make us all closer and allow you to get to know me better."

Jacob shared that although he grew up in Virginia, he was actually born in Oklahoma. "At the time, my birth parents weren't able to take care of me, so they made a plan for me to be adopted," he explained. "Luckily for me, I was blessed to be able to be adopted by two of the most loving parents in the world — my mom and my dad."

Jacob goes on to explain that being adopted by his parents gave him the best childhood he could ask for and even though it's come with its ups and downs, he wouldn't change it for anything.

The rising star ended his video by stressing that sharing this new info with fans doesn't change anything. "I'm still me and being adopted is something that I've never tried to hide or keep a secret," he explained. "My friends and family have known all this, but I think it's time for you guys to know too... I know this is only going to make us closer."
