Hannah Neeleman's life on Ballerina Farm blew up on TikTok. But wait until you meet her sister.

If you've spent any time on Instagram or TikTok, chances are you've come across Ballerina Farm.

It's where Hannah Neeleman — a Julliard-trained ballerina who swapped the big city for a homestead in Utah — shares her life with husband, Daniel, and their eight children.

Her name also might ring a bell. Last year, The Times of London published a profile on Hannah, painting a darker picture of her supposedly idyllic life.

It sparked plenty of conversation, with many questioning whether Hannah was trapped in a controlling relationship. Hannah hit back, calling the story an unfair portrayal of her otherwise happy family life.

And let's be honest, we can't seem to look away as Hannah shares behind the scenes of her traditional 'tradwife' lifestyle, set against the stunning, mountainous landscapes of Utah, with nearly 20 million followers hanging on her every word.

We thought we knew everything about her, from the infamous egg-apron to the names of her cows.

But have you heard of her sister, Micka Wright Perry?

The Utah-based fashion designer has built a platform of her own, sharing her own family life and work with 187,000 followers.

And if you thought eight kids was a lot, Micka is a mum of 10. Soon to be 11.

Yep, ELEVEN.

In February 2025, Micka took to Instagram to announce she's expecting baby number 11 and shared the sex of the new bub.

In the video, Micka explained that 49 coins, each with a pink or blue label, were placed at the bottom of the pool. Family members then rushed off to gather the coins, and the colour with the most coins revealed the baby's sex.

"Baby #11 coming July! I couldn't possibly be more happy," she wrote. "Never been more shocked. Seven girls!"

A huge congratulations is definitely in order.

But who is Micka, and how similar is her life to her sister's homemaking family? Here's everything you need to know about these captivating relatives.

Watch a snippet of Hannah's life. Post continues below.

Who is Ballerina Farm's Hannah Neeleman?

Hannah documents life with Daniel and their eight children — three boys: Henry, 12; Charles, 10 and George, nine; and four girls: Frances, seven; Lois, five; Martha, three; Mabel, two and Flora, one.

She's built a following of nearly 20 million people, all tuning in for her mix of traditional family values, slow living, and aspirational homemaking. The couple is even dabbling in chef school at the moment.

But beyond the aesthetic moments, Hannah's lifestyle has sparked plenty of debate.

Critics argue her picture-perfect Mormon lifestyle sets unrealistic standards for motherhood and femininity, while others simply see her as sharing the life she loves. Either way, we can't seem to look away.

Who is Hannah Neeleman's sister, Micka Wright Perry?

Hannah's not the only one with a social media presence in her family.

Micka, her older sister, is also on the scene. The Utah-based fashion designer has built a dedicated following of 187,000 people on Instagram, where she shares her life as a devoted mum.

Micka runs her own brand, Wright Perry, where she creates modest clothing inspired by her Mormon faith and family values.

And, much like Hannah, she's a big believer in traditional family life. In fact, one of her elder daughters Zanna even went on a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints 'mission' in Peru.

"I wish I could take what I KNOW about my Savior and download it into each of my children," she shared on social media.

"Then they would never feel alone, never wonder about who they are, never feel broken or worthless, but I know that is for each of us to find out on our own."

In addition to raising her children, of which the current youngest turned one in September 2024, Micka is also a beekeeper and runner.

How many children does Micka Wright Perry have?

Micka is a mum of 10, soon to be 11. Yep, you read that right.

We only know the names of her eldest children, daughters Annicka, Zanna, Mila and Millie, and son Westin.

Given that Hannah and Micka grew up in a family of nine siblings, it's no surprise they're both drawn to having large families of their own.

How many siblings do Hannah and Micka have?

Micka and Hannah are part of a huge family. The two sisters have seven brothers, which probably explains why they're both so drawn to large families. Hannah is the youngest.
