Who said I love you first? He said it first. Did you say it back immediately? Immediately.
Well, one, he doesn't care what anybody thinks. And I think I find that so attractive. And I feel like that's like my inner self is like, I don't give a shit what anyone thinks. But he was like that person for us in our dynamic, you know, taught me a lot. I also think, you know, he's very... He's just very motivated. He's a very motivated person.
And I was just so attracted to the fact that he was so free with himself. And I never met anyone like that. Actually, the only person that I know close to him is my brother. And I always said, oh my God, you and my brother need to meet because you guys are so much alike.
So it's interesting because the day before we found out we were at a restaurant and his friend just had a baby. So he showed me the newborn photos and I was looking down. I was like, oh my gosh, like, would you, would you want to start a family one day? He's like, yeah, I like, I would love to have kids one day.
He's like, you know, maybe in the future, you know, and he goes like, we'll start a family one day. And I was like, I like, I know, like, I feel it, you know, I feel, I feel a family feeling. For us. I just knew it. But I didn't know I was pregnant already. How did you tell him? He was right there in the room. He was in the room. He was sitting on his belly, scrolling on his phone.
And I thought, I feel nauseous. I feel kind of sick. And he thought, maybe we should take a pregnancy test. And I'm thinking like...
nothing's gonna happen and i took the test and immediately i stood up i didn't even think about it i just stood up hey and i threw the threw the stick at him by like close to him on the bed and he's looking at he's like i'm like yeah i think we're pregnant and he's and it was the lines were very faint so we couldn't tell for sure but just his reaction yeah and just
The way I slept, I slept so good that night. I didn't think about it. I'm thinking we're good no matter what.
So when he was in college for that last year, I decided to move in with him. I was pregnant for that whole year. And he had a roommate, like someone that was kind of there just to help with that last year of college because he was playing, you know, D1 basketball and he was still going to school. And then, you know, I was pregnant.
And so he was kind of just there to like keep tabs and make sure that everything was good. And he was the one that said, hey, guys, like you guys should really start a YouTube channel. And he's like, you know, your videos are going viral on Facebook and people are making money off of them. And I'm thinking like, what?
Because we would make like cute little homemade videos, you know, of him talking to my belly or just us being funny and goofy or whatever. And he's like, people are taking your videos and monetizing your videos. Why don't you guys make your own videos? And I thought, can we do that? You can make money off your videos? I'm like, what? That's so crazy.
And at the time, his dreams were to play in the NBA. And that summer, you know, he got with the wrong agent and he did a couple of tryouts, you know, one with the Lakers, one with the Knicks. And just it didn't work out. And we thought, what are we going to do? Like either you go play overseas in Greece or something. We move the bait. We go as a family. And but nothing is, you know, set in stone.
Like we don't know what that looks like.
It just came naturally. Yeah, because I didn't film my birth with Elle. It was like, you know, we were just private, you know, just, I mean, we filmed on our phone, you know, we weren't making a vlog. And... I think like it just made sense because we are so hands on with our child and we might. I was not going to get a nanny. I'm like, I'm going to raise my daughter.
You know, I'm I'm finally have my daughter here, you know, and I thought, oh, we can make contact with with our daughter. You know, we can just naturally organically share our journey.
in the beginning or later on about putting your kids on camera never and you know why alex because back in the day it was really new like youtube it's been a thing for a while but we were really like that like i hate to say the word but i feel like we kind of pioneered that like family vlogging
experience you know what i mean it's like we were the first to do it at that magnitude in that way and it was like i It was like when this monster of social media was starting. Sometimes I think back and I'm like, oh my God, am I part of this craziness that's going on now in the world?
we first started it was so pure it was like pure intentions it was like obviously we want to make a living you know like anyone wants to make a living you got to work but it was more like we're just being present with our family our daughter and it's interesting because we would make these elaborate videos and we found out very early on that people enjoyed our family vlogs our simple family vlogs sitting on the floor
Those would get more views than our like big elaborated videos we would spend money on and doing. So it was just like, well, people just want to see us. They just relate to us. Maybe they see themselves in us.
Yeah, I think that those were the conversations and things we were having. But in terms of like exploitation and stuff like that never crossed our mind. That was like, I just feel like we were just the beginning of something new. How do you feel about it now? You know, we're in the age of technology and... You know, it's like, there's no right or wrong, I don't think.
