Blake Gray was keeping a big secret from everyone — he had to undergo thoracic surgery over the weekend.
The 16-year-old musical.ly star, who recently split with Baby Ariel, opened up about his surgery on Instagram today.
“I wasn’t sure if I should post about this or not, because I didn’t want to worry you guys,” he starts out. “But y’all are a huge part of my life, and I don’t want to keep secrets from you.”
“Earlier this month, I found out that I need to have surgery as soon as possible to remove something the doctor found inside my chest,” Blake reveals. “Today was that day, I just woke up from the surgery a few hours ago.”
He adds, “I want to let you know that I’m going to be okay, and there’s no need to worry about me. But I’m probably going to be inactive for the next few days while I recover.”
“I PROMISE I’ll be back better than ever before. Love u guys! Thanks for everything. You mean the world to me.”
Sending thoughts to Blake for a speedy recovery!
This is heartbreaking! Social stars Baby Ariel (Ariel Martin) and Blake Gray have broken up after eight months together, though they seem to have split amicably.
“I’m not the same person that I was 8 months ago,” Blake tweeted yesterday (July 2), “Ariel and I decided to take a break from each other for right now. We’re still gonna be really close. Gonna miss you.”
He also tweeted: “it’s time to find out who I really am,” implying that that may be a factor in their split, then adding that when it comes to social media celebrities, people aren’t always who they pretend to be.
“Most of y’alls idols aren’t what y’all think they are,” he said, before clarifying: “I’m not talking about Ariel btw. She is hands down the nicest girl I have ever met. And she’s one of the few that are real and not fake. Fame changes people. I think fame changed me. & I’m working on that. I know I’m not in my best place now but in the future I will be. Night.”
All Ariel has said on the matter is that she is “hurting a lot right now,” and that she needs time to heal.
“I will always love and care about him,” she tweeted. After seeing their loving five-month anniversary posts, we totally understand.
We hope that they take all the time they need to heal and to find themselves. It’s always heartbreaking to see a couple split, but sometimes it works out for the best.

Musical.ly star Baby Ariel (aka Ariel Martin) has found love with fellow social media star Blake Gray, and she’s sharing it with the world.
“Five months with my other half, & to many more,” she tweeted today in honor of their five-month anniversary. “I love love love you with all of my heart, you mean everything to me.”
That isn’t even the cutest part of her post. She accompanied the tweet with four pictures of the two of them to represent their relationship, and the largest photo is of Ariel launching herself into Blake‘s arms, who looks (of course) delighted.
Five months isn’t usually a milestone anniversary, which somehow gives this even more cuteness points.
“I love you,” Blake tweeted back with a red heart emoji.
Thank you, Blake and Ariel, for showing us that sometimes, rom-coms are real life.
