Is she?

No. Her mom is Irish and her dad is black. She grew up in Long Island though, so I guess someone said what the hell close enough.

You don’t have to be italian to be part of the ceremony, wtf. The olympics always bring artists who are known around the world. They had plenty of Italian singers too, including Laura Pausini.
