More: Claim to Fame Season 3 spoilers and who each contestant is related to
Danny is one of the 11 contestants on Season 3 of Claim to Fame, ABC‘s reality TV series in people with celebrity relatives must correctly identify each other’s famous family members while not letting their competitors discover their own claim to fame. The series is hosted by brothers Kevin Jonas and Frankie Jonas, the series and premiered in 2022. Since its launch, the relatives of dozens of stars, including Whoopi Goldberg, Tom Hanks, and Keke Palmer, have competed for the grand prize of $100,000
Danny’s celebrity relative is Latin music singer Marc Anthony. Danny, whose real name is Nael Zayas, is Anthony’s nephew. Danny’s two truths and a lie also confirm that Anthony is his celebrity relative.
Danny’s two truths and a lie were that his celebrity relative is his uncle, a pro wrestler, and has won a Grammy. Danny’s father is Anthony’s older brother, Bigram Zayas, making Anthony’s Danny’s uncle. Anthony has also won four Grammy Awards and eight Latin Grammy Awards, including the Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album in 2005 for Amar Sin Mentiras. That means that Danny’s lie was that his celebrity relative is a professional wrestler.
Anthony was also confirmed as Danny’s celebrity relative in 2011 when Yahoo Vida y Estilo referred to Danny as Anthony’s nephew. Anthony’s niece also confirmed their family relationship in 2019 when she commented “cousin” on Danny’s Facebook photo. The Claim to Fame Season 3 clues that support Anthony as Danny’s celebrity relative include the word “alimony,” in the challenge in Season 3, Episode 2, which could be a reference to Anthony’s much publicized divorce from his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, in 2012.
