Originally, the residents
of Salem believed that Belle was the daughter of Marlena and
Roman. In truth, Belle was the product of a one-night-affair
between Marlena and John Black. Belle's true parentage might
never have been revealed if it weren't for her older sister Sami
who discovered the truth and kept the secret for several months.
She even went as far as to kidnap Belle and try to have her
legally adopted! In the end, however, it was Stefano DiMera who
revealed the truth after reading Sami's diary. Currently, Belle is in
her formidable teen years at Salem High School. She reluctantly
began an ill-fated relationship with bad/rich boy, Philip
Kiriakis but soon devoted all her attention to Shawn Brady.
Recently, Belle has become close friends with Chloe Lane. All of
her peers were shocked to see her spending time with Chloe, the
resident "new girl outcast," but eventually everyone
accepted their friendship.
