Who is Blayke Busby? 5 things you didn't know about 'OutDaughtered' star 'embarrassed' by her sisters
There are definitely pros and cons to be an older sibling. A pro would be you don't get stuck with hand-me-downs. A con is that, oftentimes, the younger siblings are the spoiled ones. A pro is you end up having a brother or a sister you can play with (and if you're smart enough, a little minion that hangs off your every word). The list is endless and that's what makes having a younger sibling so much fun. But that's the case when you have one sibling. What happens when you have five?
If anyone is qualified to write a book on dealing with siblings, it would have to be Blayke Louise Busby from 'OutDaughtered'. As per her TLC bio - 'Blayke Louise Busby was born on April 5, 2011. She is the first daughter of Adam and Danielle Busby. Blayke loves helping her mom around the house and has a fantastic sense of style with her signature bow. She loves anything pink and girly. Most importantly, she's a great big sister to the quints. She knows exactly what needs to be done with the quints' routine.' While the preteen seems to have outgrown her signature bow, she's just as helpful as ever. Here's what we know about the oldest Busby girl.

She's often embarrassed by the quints
Being an older sibling is hard work, you never know what shenanigans your younger sibling is going to get into. Now, imagine being an older sister to quintuplets. That's five times the chaos, all at once! Blayke deserves an award for patience as keeping up with 5 little girls can't be easy, but turns out, they do get on her nerves, as most siblings do. In a blog post by Danielle, Blayke mentioned that her pet peeve is 'when my sisters are being embarrassing in front of other people'. It's okay Blayke, we've all been there!
The quints look up to her
Even though she might not be a fan of their antics all the time, Blayke loves all five of her siblings and they love her just as much. In fact, they might just be her biggest fans! Parker Kate loves going into her room and wearing her clothes, while Ava Lane's favorite movie happens to be 'The Greatest Showman' which is also Blayke's favorite movie. It's clear as day that the girls look up to their older sister. Aww!
She loves animals
Blayke adores the family's French bulldog, Beaux, who they lovingly call Beaux Beaux. Turns out, even at the tender age of 7, Blayke knew exactly what she wanted to do in the future. In a blog post dedicated to her oldest daughter on her seventh birthday, Danielle mentioned that young Blayke had a clear vision. 'At the age of 7 she wants to be a veterinarian, this girl is obsessed with animals.' She wrote. Seeing that she's also a smart kid who excels at school, we hope she can fulfill this dream.
She's athletic
Both Adam and Danielle are big on fitness. Danielle even has her own athleisure brand called CADi. The couple enjoy working out and staying healthy and looks like it's rubbed off on their oldest daughter. Blayke partakes in sports and as per the family's Instagram, she's gotten into basketball lately.
She's a fan of JoJo Siwa
Celebrating birthdays while in quarantine has been quite the bummer. But Adam Busby is a dad that's definitely willing to go above and beyond for his girls. For Blayke's ninth birthday, he got YouTube star JoJo Siwa to FaceTime with Blayke, seeing that she's a huge fan (which explains her love for bows when she was younger, seeing that bows are Siwa's signature accessory).
Adam even shared a post of Blayke FaceTiming Jojo, with the caption - 'Having a kid whose birthday falls within this quarantine time is a huge bummer for them(much less 6). We had to postpone Blayke’s Birthday Party until we no longer have to be distant from everyone, so i called in a favor from a friend. Seeing the look of surprise on her face when she saw @itsjojosiwa wishing her Happy Birthday over FaceTime was absolutely priceless. I scored some major dad points from this little girl!' No wonder Blayke is a bit of a daddy's girl, it definitely adds up!
