I think I heard once that Ben p is actually an American citizen and that his dad is as well. Something about his dad wanted his children from the same nationality as he so the philipp kids were all born in the us.
Aye, the Phillip family are Americans.

Is it wrong that I take personal pride in Ben being American?!

Tom, is Ben's mum American also? I thought that she was probably British and therefore Ben is probably a dual national with both British and American nationality.

There is also another story that Ben was born in Germany.

Here is the source in Japanese:

It also does say that his mother is from the States, along with Steven, his father.

Well, both of my parents are from Taiwan, but my mum moved to Japan when she was a year old and she did not learn any Chinese. I first learned how to speak Japanese and I only learned how to speak Chinese a year and a half ago.

I don't know about his mother but I can find out.

I am not really sure about this story. My source on Ben's American citizenship got his information right from Mr. Phillips, Ben's father. But, I will ask around.

Absolutely not!!!! I am quite proud.

Well, we will all find out later on, as their popularity level is gradually increasing towards Miley Cyrus status.

As long as they don't become male miley cyrus' we'll be good!!!! I'm not a fan of Miley, maybe except for "The Climb" I do feel bad for the girl though, all these people behind her but none are truly friends...
