3. She’s Very Private
Once some people get a taste of the spotlight, it can be difficult for them to stay away from it. However, Aleyse has done an admirable job of keeping her personal life separate from the excitement of the entertainment industry. She hasn’t revealed much information about her life outside of acting and she’s not very active on social media.
4. Charmed Was Her First TV Role
Breaking into the entertainment industry can be a challenge. In many cases, it can take people years to eventually secure a notable role. Fortunately for Aleyse, that wasn’t the case for her. Her big break came with her very first opportunity when she was cast in the reboot of Charmed.
5. She’s A Formally Trained Actress
Aleyse may be a natural performer, but she has also done the work to give herself the best chances of success. She attended Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where she earned a BFA in Drama in 2017, and also studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA).
6. She Has Musical Talents As Well

8. She Wasn’t Familiar With Black Christmas Before Being Cast
In 2019, Aleyse was cast in the remake of the 1974 movie Black Christmas, however, she was not familiar with the original. During an interview with LRM Online, Aleyse said, “I sort of avoided it, myself. I was like, ‘I don’t want to watch it. I don’t want to watch it.’ It was definitely the first thing I watched once we wrapped, and it was really cool to see. I was glad that I didn’t watch it, because I feel it was really beneficial and I was going to copy some stuff. I think we actually did our own thing without leaning too much on the old one.”
9. She Appears To Be Single
Celebrity relationships are always a hot topic of conversation. At the moment, it doesn’t seem like Aleyse is in a relationship. Additionally, it doesn’t appear that she has any children. However, since she is a private person, there is a possibility that she could be dating someone without having shared it with the public.
10. She’s Really Close To Her Black Christmas Cast Mates
Being able to work with people you truly enjoy being around is always a great experience, and it’s one Aleyse got to have while filming Black Christmas.
