Dating & Relationship Status
Ms. Rachel is married and has recently welcomed her second child through surrogacy, as announced on her social media platforms.
She married Broadway music director and composer Aron Accurso in July 2016; On April 8, 2025, Accurso announced that she and her husband had a second child via surrogacy.
Accurso started her YouTube channel in 2019 under the name Ms. Rachel. She and her husband created the channel in response to the lack of media resources for their son who had a speech delay and did not say his first word until he was two years old. She created Songs for Littles, a children's music YouTube series made up of a combination of classic children's songs, such as nursery rhymes, and original music for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. It was originally started as an in-person class led by Accurso and was inspired by the techniques of her son's early childhood intervention speech therapist with a focus on language development milestones and inclusive subject matter. The channel became especially popular starting in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and has over ten million subscribers as of 2024.
Songs for Littles features Accurso as the star, with her signature outfit of a pink shirt with overalls and a headband, alongside diverse cast and crew members including actress and teacher Keisha Gilles, diversity and inclusion consultant Alexa Smith, speech therapist Frida Matute, animator and editor Beth Jean, singer-songwriter Jules Hoffman, actress Natalie Kaye Clater, and Accurso's husband Aron, the last of whom writes and arranges music for the series and operates two puppet characters named Georgie and Herbie. Accurso also became popular on TikTok as Ms. Rachel, where she had over two and a half million followers by March 2023.
Accurso took a break from TikTok in February 2023, citing her mental health. The break was assumed by fans to be in response to backlash from some parents on the platform against Accurso's nonbinary co-star Jules Hoffman for using they/them pronouns. That same month, Accurso returned to TikTok while she and Songs for Littles were signed to Creative Artists Agency. In June 2024, Accurso received backlash and a boycott campaign from conservatives after she posted a video on TikTok wishing viewers a happy Pride Month.
