Olivia has talked about her Filipino heritage before in a video that premiered exclusively on JustJaredJr.com for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month a few years ago. In the video, Olivia mentions how she is of Filipino descent on her father’s side and how her great-grandfather came to the US on a boat when he was just a teenager. She goes on to share the traditions her family still celebrates and embraces within her heritage and culture, like making Filipino food.

When JJJ asked Olivia about her “Be Inspired” segment, she mentioned how excited she was for her fans to get to know more about her and how her family and culture is a big part of who she is, and how important it is to embrace one’s culture and learn about their history. She concludes the video by saying, “I’m Olivia Rodrigo. I’m a Filipina. I’m a lumpia fan. I’m a daughter and a granddaughter and a great-granddaughter. I’m American. I’m an Asian-Pacific islander.”
