BAR Smith revealed his dual citizenship to fans after “remembering” that he was adopted by his London godparents at age 15.
The Teen Mom 2 star has been trying to turn his life around as he goes through the process of removing his tattoos and focuses on his future.
Bar, 24, took to Instagram recently to share a little known fact about his childhood.
The reality star shared a message to his followers reading: “I just realized I’m a British citizen too. Shout out to the UK.”
However, many fans were confused by the message, so the TV personality elaborated.
“For those that didn’t understand my last post, I completely forgot that I went through an entire adoption and Visa process and became a British citizen, so I have a dual citizenship,” he explained.
But some were still not convinced, so Bar decided to hop on his stories to add that he was “adopted” by his London-native “godparents” as a teen.
“Alright so look, I’m gonna elaborate real quick, cause I guess I confused y’all even harder,” he began.
“I moved to London when I was 15, I moved to Tudor, South London. I lived out there for two and a half years.
“I moved there with my godparents, they had already lived there for some years. They’re from Boston and one is from San Francisco,” he revealed.
“I’m from San Francisco though. I went out there when I was 15 for a second chance at life.
“I was just doing dumb s**t out here, messing up pretty bad so basically long story short, I went out there and I got adopted,” the father of one shared.
“We went through the adoption process, they adopted me so I could have citizenship and stuff.”
Bar continued: “I started going to college and all this other stuff, so I just forgot completely that I’m a dual citizen.
“Ashley asked me if I have citizenship and I double checked and I got citizenship.”
SECOND CHANCE
The MTV star has been cleaning up his act after a serious of run ins with the law.
Last season, Bar finally got his GED and decided to pursue higher education.
FRESH FACED
The young father has also begun the gruesome process of removing his face tattoos, and has shared the progress on his Instagram.
Last week, the California native updated fans that his ink is “fading” though he asserted that it has been a “slow process.”
The reality star took to the platform to share the latest update as he has undergone several laser treatments.
Bar compiled some recent pics to showcase his journey.
In one clip, the young dad zoomed in on his face revealing: “It’s a long process but they are fading. just used these because they are the most recent things in my gallery.”
FAN SUPPORT
Bar has consistently kept fans in the loop on social media as he has been eager to “clean up his image” after a string of arrests and an alcohol addition.
After posting photos earlier this month donning a more sophisticated look, fans praised the father of one on his continued makeover.
One wrote: “Keep up the good work … and breaking generational cycles.”
While a second user called out the look commenting: “Looking dapper!”
While a third person encouraged the star replying: “Keep it up!!”
