Stacie Orrico, a major pop singer from the noughties, looks almost exactly the same today as she did at the height of her fame.

The American singer of the 2003 bop I Promise, cemented herself as a pop star in the noughties with various hits. Her single Stuck was a total earworm and a huge hit in the UK that reached number nine in the charts.

Her second single (There’s Gotta Be) More to Life peaked at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 12 in the UK charts and stayed there for eight weeks. Again the song was a major hit with fans, despite not reaching number one status.

Her self-titled second album had 3.5 million sales, and was in the UK charts for 20 weeks, peaking at number 39. The star became internationally famous, charting in the UK and Australia as well as the US.

But after falling out of the spotlight in 2007, the singer now has a completely new career, a husband and two children.

Despite the major life changes the 38-year-old looks almost exactly the same as she did when she first found fame.

Images from her social media page show the ageless singer has aged incredibly well after finding fame in her teenage years.

The singer had three studio albums including Genuine (2000), Stacie Orrico (2003), and Beautiful Awakening (2006).

In 2007, the singer announced that she was leaving her label. Her record company then ended her contract and her tour dates were cancelled.

Announcing the news on social media (MySpace at the time) the singer revealed she would take some time away and spend some time in Africa.

She spent time away working with charities to help children diagnosed with HIV and AIDS.

This ‘disappearance’ from the music industry ended a few years later after performing across Asia, when she returned to record her fourth album.

The singer returned and wrote music for other artists and performed in various collaborations – including on The Fray’s third album.

She then announced a comeback in 2015 but has since moved on from her music career.

In 2020, the singer launched The Nile Project, a holistic therapy for women that works to unpack trauma.

The site reads: ‘The Nile Project is dedicated to facilitating somatic, dynamic healing spaces to help participants move through the frozen quiet of trauma, in order to find the powerful ways of being and expressing that live deep within.’

In 2016, the former singer married actor Isaiah Johnson who is best known for his work on Homegirls, Person of Interest and Hamilton.

Her social media shows that she has a husband and two young children now, and she frequently shares videos of them dancing and spending time together as a family.
