Youtuber Jake Paul, 19 million subscribers and fellow Youtuber Tana Mongeau, 4.5 million subscribers, started dating in April, got engaged at Mongeau's 21st birthday party in June, and got married in July. Many people felt like the two getting together was a stunt to gain subscribers and if that was the case it worked since they both gained hundreds of thousands of subscribers. No one could really tell if the relationship was real or not. That became even more of a question after the two were married.
After the wedding ceremony it seemed the two went their separate ways. There were rumors of them spending time apart right after their wedding and then photos of Jake and other women started surfacing including photos of lunch dates with one of Jake's ex yet another youtuber. Later the couple revealed they had an open relationship.
In a video in December, Tana revealed her and Jake's relationship had gone downhill since the wedding stating that the open relationship was bad for her mental health. She said that she had put too much of herself into their relationship and it made her lose herself.
Tana and Jake both posted a photo of the two of them snuggled up with their dog each with a different caption. Tana's caption read, "Right now we both are taking a break to focus on our own very crazy lives. I'll never know what the future holds and I will always love Jake and everything we did. I'm grateful to know throughout this I've made a best friend for life & found someone to do life with when no one understood me." Jake's was similar, "As Tana and I sit next to each other writing captions about taking a break we're literally laughing at how crazy and stupid the past couple months have been and cracking jokes at how silly this all seems. I'm keeping custody of Thor but Tana unfortunately gets my Lamborghini."
Jake has taken up boxing and he is gearing up for a big fight against British Youtuber Aneson Gib and in a press conference he said, "Tana's been super supportive. We ended things on great terms, we're friends. I guess I fell in love with the sport of boxing and fell out of love with Tana."
Tana was at the press conference in a shirt that read "We're not dating."
For everyone who thought the whole relationship was just to get people talking you were probably right. Even if some feelings are genuinely hurt, as it seems may be the case for Tana, I'm sure they'll both bounce back just fine soon.
