Early life

Cooper and Luca Coyle were raised on Long Island, New York with an older sister.^[1]

Drag career

Sugar and Spice gained prominence on Vine as teenagers.^[2][3] On TikTok, the duo had more than 3.8 million followers by early 2021^[4] and 7.4 million followers by 2023.^[5]

Sugar and Spice competed on the fifteenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race, which premiered in January 2023. They are the show's first sibling contestants.^[1] During the Snatch Game challenge, Sugar impersonated Trisha Paytas and Spice portrayed Miley Cyrus; they were both panned for their performances and were placed in the bottom two together. The duo performed a synchronized lip sync to Pat Benatar's "You Better Run", before Sugar was eliminated.^[6][7] Charlie Grey of Queerty wrote, "We knew the Sugar x Spice lipsync was destined to happen from the moment they were cast on the show together, and they did not disappoint. The pair put on a show complete with choreo, bits, and entirely too much fun — a perfect encapsulation of Sugar's run on this season."^[8] Out of 16 competitors, Sugar and Spice finished in 14th place and 9th place, respectively.

Personal lives

Both Cooper and Luca are gay.^[9] The twins came out to their mother online.^[10] In 2022, they relocated from Long Island to the greater Los Angeles area.^[1][11]
