Any Updates on the Viral TikTok Sisters Searching for Giovanni?
If you’ve spent time online lately, you’ve probably seen the viral TikTok sisters searching for Giovanni. In the emotional video, six sisters walk forward one by one, speaking straight to the camera and calling out to their long-lost brother, Giovanni:
‘If your name is Giovanni … and you were born in Tampa General Hospital … on February 14, 2009 … and you’re 15 years old … and your parents are the doctors who delivered you … we’re your sisters and we wanna meet you!’ they recited in unison.
@catpalmer16 Our biological parents struggled with addiction for many years, causing us all to enter foster care. We were adopted in pairs, with the exception of our brother, Giovanni. Two of us are here in Tampa Bay, but we all found each other. TikTok us find our brother and make our family complete. @Adriana Bowerman @lex @mightymouse1012 #adoption #familyreunion #tampabay #longlostbrother #family #fostercare #fyp #foryoupage
Within days, millions of viewers were invested. Internet sleuths began digging. Strangers started sharing. And a question spread everywhere:
Have they found their missing brother?
Right now, confirmed breakthroughs remain limited. But what we do know about the sisters, their history, and the clues they are following continues to give people hope.
For Catrina, who often speaks publicly, the hardest part is the lost time. “He’s the missing piece,” she says.
The hope is simple: that he might see the video and recognize himself in them.
What We Know About the Six Sisters and Their Biological Family
The group of six long-lost sisters includes Catrina Palmer, Gigi Palmer, Monica Juliana, Anna Bowerman, and Bella Bowerman. These biological sisters entered the foster system after their biological parents struggled with addiction.
Their mother, Tiffany Juliana, gave birth to seven children in total. Over time, each of them was adopted by different families. Today, Tiffany and other members of their biological family, including a biological aunt, are offering guidance and pieces of history to help the sisters search responsibly while honoring their adoptive families.
Catrina and Gigi grew up together in Florida. In Buffalo, a nearby family adopted Alexia, Anna, and Bella. Monica’s journey looked different; she moved through several placements before being adopted by a teacher in West Virginia.
Though the sisters entered foster care and later were adopted by different parents and raised apart they say they instantly felt connection when they reunited. Followers point to shared smiles, same mannerisms, and the uncanny “mini me” resemblance some of them have noticed in photos and videos.
Over the years, they rebuilt their connections. They visited one another, text constantly, and even vacationed together at Universal Studios. Their adoptive families have learned to embrace the growing circle of relationships. Their birth parents, now in a more stable place in their lives, also remain present in careful and supportive ways.
Still, one sibling has never been located.
Their brother Giovanni.
Born on February 14, 2009, at Tampa General Hospital, he is believed to have been adopted by a family connected to the medical team there. Because a Florida court order designed a closed adoption, his records are sealed. Paper trails are thin. For years, the search kept hitting walls.
So… Are There Any Breakthroughs?
The honest answer: not yet.
Despite tips, theories, and viral momentum, no confirmed identification has been made. What the attention has done is keep hope alive and spread the story farther than the sisters ever imagined.
Catrina—the sibling many call the planner or “mastermind” — turned to social media after traditional searches stalled. The response shocked them. Tens of millions watched. Messages poured in from strangers who wanted to help reunite the siblings and make the family whole.
A friend asked a coworker to share the story. Viewers tag people across Tampa Bay. Others compare timelines of adopted children in the area. Supporters message the sisters daily. Though it seems like a long shot to many, these young women won’t give up.
Some leads sound promising. Others fade quickly. Each one is handled carefully because the sisters share an important boundary: they don’t want to disrupt Giovanni’s life.
Their goal is simple.
They want him to know he is loved.
They want him to know he has sisters.
And if he ever wants them, they are here.
Until that day comes, they continue making up for lost time with one another — late-night calls, group chats, encouragement, and plans for future reunions. Supporters say watching them cheer each other on through FaceTime is a powerful reminder of why family connections matter.
The internet agrees there is still a chance the right person will see the video.
Maybe a classmate.
Maybe a neighbor.
Maybe Giovanni himself.
