Rosa Kalogeras grew up too fast - not by choice, but by circumstance.
Fully Greek and raised in Australia, Rosa's life was shaped by trauma at a young age. After being raped twice as a child, she became a mother to two daughters, Kailea and Sophia. Rosa chose honesty over silence, explaining to her girls-at an age-appropriate level-that a bad person hurt her, and that none of it was their fault. She refuses secrecy or shame, choosing openness so her daughters grow up safe, informed, and secure in her love.
In 2022, Rosa lost her father, the person who had always protected her. After his death, his lifelong best friend and Rosa's godfather, John Kalogeras, took her in without hesitation. Alongside Sunday, Demitra, and Eliana, Rosa found more than stability-she found family. Living in Edmonton, she became a Kalogeras in every way that mattered, even taking their last name. Noah, Eli's boyfriend, became the brother she never had.
To the world, Rosa looks like she's always belonged. She appears in the Kalogeras sisters' videos, and most people don't realise she's adopted-or that she's a young mother. Rosa is also open about living with severe anxiety and depression, choosing recovery every day, even when it leaves her vulnerable.
And then there's Josh.
Rosa met Josh Olliver in Italy in June 2020, when they were both thirteen. What began as friendship became love across distance and time zones. Now, in 2026, Josh lives in England as a member of December 10, while Rosa remains in Canada with her daughters and the Kalogeras family.
Josh didn't just choose Rosa-he chose all of her life.
And across oceans and stages, they continue to choose each other.
