Meghan Trainor Has Only 2 Siblings despite Rumors of Being a Triplet
For her past two birthdays, Meghan Trainor's siblings have been a point of discussion; most recently, the singer shared a rather misleading social media post flanked by two entertainers she called her triplets.
To clarify, singer and TikTok sensation Meghan Trainor is a middle child with two brothers, Ryan Trainor and Justin Trainor. With the help of soundproof doors, the Trainor siblings live together harmoniously in California.
The "Made You Look" star has her heart set on having a sister—a sister-in-law, that is. Both her brothers gave speeches during her big day, and she hopes to have another family wedding for her elder sibling soon.

Will Meghan Trainor's Real Siblings Please Stand Up?
On her 29th birthday, Meghan casually sowed confusion online by sharing a carousel of her sandwiched between TikToker Chris Olsen and singer-songwriter Joshua Bassett in matching hoodies, partially captioned, "Loved sharing a womb with these two!"
The silly post was published a day after the trio's collective birthdays on December 22, 2022, which is where their link ends. In 2022, Paris Hilton's birthday tweet in which she called the singer "sis" forced her to clarify that it was a term of endearment and they were just "besties."
Around the same time, Jojo Siwa thanked her "sister @meghan_trainor" for appearing on "Ellen" while she was guest hosting. On the show, the "All about that Bass" star chatted with Siwa about how they met and became friends.
Ryan Trainor
The big brother of the "Made You Look (Again)" singer is also in the music industry. He wrote "Good to Be Alive," which was featured in "The Peanuts Movie," and contributed "Treat Myself" and "Genetics" to the soundtracks of Netflix's "Work It" and "Tall Girl," respectively.
Ryan and Justin wrote on Meghan's album "Treat Myself" in 2020, also providing backing vocals for the hit. Ryan's track "Funk" was used in the third season of Hulu's "Dollface" in 2022.
He directed the music video for his sister's track "FOOLISH," which is comprised of handheld footage of her and Daryl Sabara's December 2018 wedding reception. The director can regularly be found streaming on Twitch and creating content.

The composer teamed up with the "Clash of the Cover Bands" judge to co-host a podcast, "Workin' On It." The two siblings use their platform to discuss Ryan's sobriety and mental health issues and interview famous guests and family members.
In 2019, Ryan and Justin moved into the newlyweds' LA home.
Meghan went on "The Drew Barrymore Show" in December 2022 in the time-honored tradition of promoting a new project. It is a venture she's been working on for some time on social media: finding her big brother a girlfriend and a defacto sister for herself.
Ryan, who appeared with Meghan on the show, said that he had recently started dating again after "sobering up a year and a half ago."
He admitted that though he enjoyed the freedom and lack of responsibilities that single life affords him, he would enjoy having "someone to watch 'White Lotus' with."
The podcaster called Meghan and Justin his "best friends for life" on National Siblings' Day 2020, with a slideshow of the three as children and sweet moments between them as they grew up.

Justin Trainor
Having her siblings and parents along on her honeymoon is just one of the extreme examples of Meghan Trainor's tight-knit family. In 2019, Ryan and Justin moved into the newlyweds' LA home. The Grammy winner insists that they do not interfere with her married bliss:
"They have their own side of the house - we call it the man cave - so I barely see them. I would be very sad if they moved out. Everywhere I go, my family comes with me."
Justin, born January 24, 1996, wrote and arranged Meghan's song "Better When I'm Dancin'" for "The Peanuts Movie" and produced Ryan's track on the same soundtrack. He produced her chart-topping 2022 album, "Takin' It Back."
The creative clan's youngest looks more comfortable behind the scenes than his extroverted brother and sister. Ryan shares photos with his brother but never tags him in the posts.
