"So we are engaged."Mourey and Solomita started dating in 2013. It wasn't immediately clear when Solomita popped the question to Mourey, but he added that the engagement happened "probably longer ago than you think.""I'm very excited, and it feels good to get the words out because I wanted to tell you for a while and I didn't because it was giving me anxiety so I just kind of held onto it," Solomita said. "And I think today I realized it was kind of flipped, and it was giving me more anxiety to kind of hold on to it, so there's the news."Solomita showed a photo of Mourey's hand with the engagement ring and told viewers that she also bought him a ring "a little while after because she wanted me to enjoy the engagement too and be able to look at my hand, so now I have a little temporary ring" that he used to take off before streaming prior to making the announcement.Mourey garnered over 20 million subscribers on her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/JennaMarbles">YouTube channel</a> which she started in 2010. In June 2020, she <a href="https://www.insider.com/jenna-marbles-youtube-break-quitting-apologizes-offensive-videos-2020-6">announced</a> that she was leaving the social media platform in an emotional apology video for old offensive content on her page.The couple also ran a joint podcast, called the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/JennaJulienPodcast">Jenna &amp; Julien Podcast</a>, for six years, which <a href="https://www.insider.com/jenna-marbles-julien-solomita-end-jenna-and-julien-podcast-2020-8">they ended in August of last year</a>, thanking their fans in the final episode of the show. Though Mourey's social media presence has largely diminished since her departure from YouTube, Solomita has posted on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TheFightingSolo">his own personal YouTube</a> channel and he continues to host Twitch streams."She's still offline, as you know, but still very much a part of my life, and now it's official," Solomita said during the Twitch stream."I'm very happy, she's very happy," he continued. "You were all very much a part of our relationship for a long time, and just because you don't see her anymore doesn't mean, you know, you still don't appreciate her and want to know this stuff."

In a new episode titled "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_SUVj_QshU">The Final Podcast</a>," the audibly emotional couple thanked their fans for years of support and announced that they would be stepping back from the show. Mourey, who had been noticeably absent from the show's last five episodes, joined Solomita for the August 17 installment to say her goodbyes to listeners, noting that she didn't want her partner to shoulder the burden of ending the show."If I think about it too much and if I say it too much, I'm probably gonna cry. And I can't really look at Julien because I'm probably gonna cry. But I wanted to say thank you so much for all of your support over however many years we've been doing this," she said. "This is, like, one of the sources of so much happiness and laughter and joy — and such a good time — and I'm so glad that so many of you had such a good time with us."Mourey went on to assure listeners that "all good things come to an end — and that's okay," adding that the two might create "something else" together in the future. Solomita added that he's thankful for the "dink fam" — the couple's nickname for themselves and their avid fanbase – and he'll miss creating the show. "You know, this podcast has spanned over a long time in my life — and lot of different, kind of, phases of my life — and it's hard to say goodbye," he said. "The longer we sit here, the more messy it's gonna get. But, just the biggest, most heartfelt thank you to anyone who has ever listened to our podcast." Mourey concluded the 6-minute episode by updating viewers on her emotional state. "I have a million things that I would love to say, but I just want you to know that I'm doing okay, I'm getting help, and I'm just being a person right now," she said. "So I genuinely appreciate all the support and love."<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3_SUVj_QshU" frameborder="0"></iframe>The podcast's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAOwW6UWDZDFZ5meGS-lQhQ">YouTube channel</a>, the pair explained, will still be accessible, so fans are free to browse episodes "to eternity." Comments on the video were turned off, but the clip racked up over 100,000 views within two hours of posting. <h2>The announcement follows a turbulent few months for the YouTube personalities</h2>On June 25, Mourey posted a tearful video to her main <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/JennaMarbles">YouTube channel</a>, apologizing for creating insensitive content in the past and announcing her departure from the platform. In the clip, which has since been set to "private," she told viewers that she was no longer "having fun" with the channel, which had always been her objective (Mourey held the title of most-subscribed to female YouTuber for several years, but did not frequently court sponsors and monetize her content).She also noted that she'd recently received backlash for old videos that were resurfaced as part of a movement seeking greater accountability from the famous and powerful. Mourey specifically apologized for a 2011 parody rap song she made called "Bounce that D---" in which she rapped, "Hey ching chong, wing wong, shake your king kong ding dong. Sorry that was racist, I'm bad at rap songs." "It's awful, it doesn't need to exist, it's inexcusable, it's not okay," she said of the song. "I'm incredibly sorry if this offended then, now, whenever, it doesn't need to exist. It shouldn't have existed. I shouldn't have said that ever. It's not cool, it's not cute, it's not okay, and I'm embarrassed that I ever made that, period."She went on to apologize for a 2012 video — which was "privated" shortly after its creation — in which, she says, she criticized women who "slept around" and was "incredibly slut-shamey." Ultimately, she attributed the sentiments in the video to a lot of "internalized misogyny."Mourey added that some social media users were demanding that she atone for befriending certain content creators who have been criticized for similarly offensive content — but said she was doing her best. "I'm a person trying to navigate the world the same way you are," she said. "So I don't always know what's right and what's wrong but the truth is I'm just trying my best."Solomita then posted an emotional note on <a href="https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sr9ri2">TwitLonger</a> in which he confirmed he would be taking a break from his own channel, which has nearly 2.5 million subscribers.He also addressed Mourey's emotional wellbeing following the online backlash. "Jenna is the strongest person i know. but no single person is meant to handle the pressure of pleasing the entire internet week in and week out for a decade," he wrote. "The mental and emotional toll that takes. and the conflicting emotions at play when she inevitably makes the decision to step away. that decision has come."Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/jenna-marbles-youtube-break-quitting-apologizes-offensive-videos-2020-6">Jenna Marbles announced that she's leaving YouTube in a tearful apology for old offensive content</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/julien-solomita-jenna-marbles-channel-podcast-twitch-stream-on-hold-2020-6">Jenna Marbles' boyfriend says he's suspending his YouTube channel, podcast, and Twitch stream</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/myka-stauffer-apologizes-for-rehoming-adopted-son-2020-6">'I was naive, foolish, and arrogant': Myka Stauffer apologized following backlash for placing her adopted son with a new family</a>

Since Peach had recovered, they wanted to celebrate, he said."We are a married couple," he said.

For her musical number, Aks approaches the stage from behind a curtain, wearing the same outfit Mourey wore in her last YouTube video, right down to the style of glasses and orange scrunchie. She then reproduced several of Mourey's real lines from the video in song, before the lights go out.Mourey posted her last video on YouTube on June 25, where she <a href="https://www.insider.com/Jenna-marbles-youtube-break-quitting-apologizes-offensive-videos-2020-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">apologized for old, offensive content</a> where she imitated Nicki Minaj, made a racist joke about Asian men, and "slut-shamed" women."It's awful, it doesn't need to exist, it's inexcusable, it's not okay," Mourey said in the now-deleted video. She ended the video by saying she wasn't sure if she would ever return. Mourey and her partner Julien Solomita subsequently announced their joint podcast wouldn't be continuing either.<div type="image" title="Jenna Marbles YouTube Rewind" height="689" width="919" msid="79726360" hostid="261"></div>It was a tough video to watch for many of Mourey's fans who followed her journey on YouTube since 2010 to become one of the most popular creators ever. It prompted more conversations about cancel <keyword id="24504" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="culture">culture</keyword> and accountability, with many concluding that of all the creators who have grappled with their old, offensive videos, Mourey had done so in an incredibly responsible way, getting ahead of criticism and taking responsibility proactively. Largely, Mourey continues to be celebrated online for taking accountability. <h2>Mourey's partner was visibly upset when he was made aware of the musical</h2>Including Mourey in the musical didn't sit well with fans, who labeled the move disrespectful and thoughtless since she has been so clear about wanting to be offline for her own mental health."I just watched the youtube rewind musical thing and YUCK," <a href="https://twitter.com/allegedly_adam/status/1337676203440877568" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted YouTuber Adam McIntyre, who makes videos about internet drama</a>. "What they did to and about Jenna was disgusting. Using her exact words making fun of it and having them sung did NOT sit well with me. Very bad move. Very bad bad bad move."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">—adam mcintyre (@allegedly_adam) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1337676203440877568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 12, 2020</a></blockquote>Even Mourey's partner seldom mentions her in his videos and streams. He saw the Rewind musical when someone texted it to him while he was <a href="https://t.co/z2yt1vnQUu?amp=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">livestreaming a game of Among Us on Twitch</a>. He was visibly shaken near the end of the stream."Sorry guys I just, I think I should probably just get off stream," he told his viewers. "F---ing so dumb dude, so dumb. I just saw a clip from a YouTube Rewind thing. I'm just so sick of feeling like this, this whole year, and my life is just this big f---ing circus."Solomita was clearly upset and tried to explain why the video was so hurtful through tears. He said it felt like his life was fair-game for people to make a joke out of, and it was "a lot to handle.""The internet is like, it's just unbelievably relentlessly pathetic sometimes," he said. "And the person that I care about more than living my own existence is still being treated like that ... I just don't get it. I just don't know at what point I will be able to exist."<h2>'She didn't deserve any of that'</h2>He said it was particularly difficult to watch because it had been made by fellow creators, who understand the burden of living their lives online."You're putting this thing out there that's such a joke, and it's at our expense. It's not harmless," he said.Just before leaving the stream he said he shouldn't have watched it, and shouldn't speak on it further.<div type="image" title="Screen Shot 2020 02 14 at 11.25.42 AM" height="967" width="1290" msid="79726362" hostid="261"></div><h2>Michelle Khare apologized and removed the scene from the video</h2>Khare issued a statement that <a href="https://twitter.com/MichelleKhare/status/1337671220620234754" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she posted to Twitter</a> and her YouTube community tab shortly after Solomita's stream. She said she thought it was important to her to accurately represent the events of the year "including the departure of one of the most beloved internet stars, Jenna Marbles."She said the video was raising money for Black Lives Matter, and people of color she had spoken to thought it was "important to include and honor Jenna Marbles' honest, genuine, and moving apology that was followed by direct action.""Rather than changing her words, or making them our own, we wanted to honor hers," the statement continued. "While this tribute we felt was powerful for many to watch, I see it has done more harm than good. I recognize fully that Jenna's wish to be off social media for the good of her mental health was counteracted by including her in the musical."She said she had removed the scene from the musical as soon as she saw Solomita's stream."I sincerely apologize to Jenna, Julien, and the fans for causing more pain in a place we wanted to bring respect, in showcasing an apology that was profound, and most of all - began a conversation about accountability," she said.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">—Michelle Khare (@MichelleKhare) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1337671220620234754?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 12, 2020</a></blockquote>"YouTube Rewind 2020: The Musical" is currently not available on Khare's channel.Insider has reached out to Khare for comment.<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/julien-solomita-Jenna-marbles-channel-podcast-twitch-stream-on-hold-2020-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jenna Marbles' boyfriend says he's suspending his YouTube channel, podcast, and Twitch stream</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/Jenna-marbles-julien-solomita-end-Jenna-and-julien-podcast-2020-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Top YouTuber Jenna Marbles and her partner Julien Solomita are ending their podcast after controversy over resurfaced offensive videos</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/what-youtubers-looked-like-first-video-vs-now-2019-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">THEN AND NOW: How 30 of the world's most famous YouTubers have changed since their first videos</a></li></ul>

He's built a cult following over five years, steadily adding to his subscribers by reading out scary stories that fans submit via email.

He has recently started making<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZPtWDsczOuztPMUr0mmpw/videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> music</a> — his most famous (and NSFW) song, "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5d4SJv2d6M&amp;ab_channel=CORPSERPSE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">E-GIRLS ARE RUINING MY LIFE,</a>" has over 11 million views on YouTube and gained <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/E-GIRLS-ARE-RUINING-MY-LIFE-6877953658563069954?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">particular traction on TikTok</a>. Corpse's voice has also <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/jacksepticeye/comments/jr44ux/corpse_as_a_child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">become something of a meme</a> on the platform.Some of Corpse's fans are borderline obsessive, and he has had to beg them to stop <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Herug0r9xmQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sending him large amounts of money his way</a>. They went wild when Corpse was coaxed back to Instagram in October, and he rewarded them for hitting 100,000 followers with photos of his hands.A month later, he now has 1.7 million followers on Instagram and showed his gratitude for hitting the 1 million follower milestone <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CGvadunJR4b/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with a strand of his hair</a>.<h2>How Corpse Husband grew audience with the murder mystery game 'Among Us'</h2>Corpse started livestreaming with some of YouTube's top gamers in September, quadrupling his subscriber count in under two months.Some of the stars he plays with include PewDiePie, Jacksepticeye, Pokimane, Julien Solomita, and Valkyrae, to name a few. In particular, Corpse has participated in several viral streams of "Among Us," the murder-mystery mobile and computer game where crewmates on a spaceship have to identify the impostor on board before they kill everyone.The game became an international sensation as people in coronavirus lockdowns all over the world discovered it as a fun way to keep in contact with their friends.For Corpse, it opened up a whole new demographic of fans as he found himself on the radars of millions of more people. This catapulted him from unfamiliarity to being one of the most well-known names in the YouTube gaming world. Whenever Corpse entered the game, he'd be met with amazement at how uniquely low his voice really is."Oh my God," said PewDiePie <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiyMKnp8Re4&amp;t=687s&amp;ab_channel=CorpseHusbandeHusband" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on hearing Corpse's voice for the first time</a>. "I didn't know you could hit puberty twice, Jesus.""Gets me every time," said beauty guru James Charles in a video for his channel "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV7OIDEZohU&amp;t=470s470s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Playing Among Us For The First Time!!</a>"In another game, one streamer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlnDWNJjPrI&amp;ab_channel=julien2ien2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked Corpse</a> if he ever got annoyed fielding questions about it."No, but I'll get the questions out of the way first," Corpse replied. "I've never smoked anything before, and I didn't just wake up."<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eiyMKnp8Re4" frameborder="0"></iframe><h2>He even ended up in a game with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</h2>The appreciation of "Among Us" spread further than YouTube. In October, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez <a href="https://www.insider.com/aoc-among-us-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-twitch-stream-james-charles-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">put out a call on Twitter</a> for streamers to play with her live, in a bid to encourage the public to vote in the 2020 election.Dozens of <keyword id="1112328" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Influencers">influencers</keyword> and streamers responded, including Corpse, which culminated in an epic three-hour stream with some of the internet's biggest stars."His voice is so deep," AOC gasped when Corpse joined a game. "I can't get over this dude's voice; it's so low."Corpse, clearly starstruck, interacted with AOC later on in the game."Uh, AOC?" he asked. "How's your day?"The stream was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/aoc-twitch-stream-among-us-hit-more-than-2020-10?_ga=2.62602409.487321399.1604925490-1934612651.1583486775" target="_blank" rel="noopener">watched by 400,000 people</a> at the time, and Corpse gained 440,000 subscribers that week, <a href="https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UCFNTq9XKHDNy_1-2lL0kqCg/monthly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Social Blade statistics</a>.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">—taylor | unus (@itsjohnwilly69) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1318753781199343621?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 21, 2020</a></blockquote><h2>Coping with new-found fame has been a challenge</h2>Corpse has been thankful and welcoming to his new fan base, but it's been a double-edged sword. He appeared as an interviewee in one of popular YouTuber Anthony Padilla's videos in March, called "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1aheotQv9k&amp;ab_channel=AnthonyPadillailla" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I spent a day with FACELESS YOUTUBERS</a>." He had about 1.2 million subs at the time and spoke about how never revealing his face helped with his career in horror narration, as "people get to use their imagination a lot."He also talked with Padilla about how being an anonymous YouTuber has "pretty much f---ing eviscerated" his private life."There is not a single picture of me since before YouTube with my entire face in it," he said, adding that it's quite difficult to date anyone."I can't take pictures with them really," he said. "Not without being like, this could get leaked. Also, wearing a mask with people everywhere is kind of weird; they have to be OK with that."<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E1aheotQv9k" frameborder="0"></iframe><a href="https://twitter.com/Corpse_Husband/status/1324060717050310656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1324060717050310656%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dexerto.com%2Fentertainment%2Fcorpse-husband-explains-why-he-wont-do-a-face-reveal-yet-1447417%2F7%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a tweet</a>, Corpse hinted he was struggling slightly with the newfound attention, and how it only confirmed his desire to be faceless."I would love to have a conversation [with] @billieeilish or something about how [the f---] she coped with coming up so quick because this s--- is hell behind the scenes lmao," he said. "So much wild s--- goes on. I can't imagine my physical appearance being out there on top of that, sounds crazy."Corpse said his day to day life hasn't changed significantly <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvFpOHL2o04&amp;ab_channel=CorpseJrseJr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a recent stream</a> — he still gets up and goes to his computer."I don't go outside, as I'm sure a lot of you know now," he said. "No one recognizes me or anything."He then hesitated because he wasn't sure whether to talk about something that had happened to him."I did get recognized for my voice in person the other day," he said. " At a f---ing drive-thru. I won't say any more than that, but it was scary."<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pvFpOHL2o04" frameborder="0"></iframe>Corpse has spoken several times about his mental health and how hiding his identity impacts it. When he was interviewed by Padilla, he said his anonymity has "definitely added" to his fear of the outside world."I have like very bad anxiety. I never leave my house," he said. "I feel like I had other issues prior, but if definitely made it more logical in my head despite probably being irrational."<h2>We probably won't get a face reveal any time soon</h2>Corpse told Padilla that he sometimes wakes up and thinks he might post a selfie as a face reveal, but judging by his recent boom in popularity, it's unlikely that will happen any time soon. He said nobody could measure up to what people have built up in their heads anyway."Unless I was literally like a Norse god, and even then they'd be like, I don't like his hair color," he said.Despite quite a lot of theories floating about on Reddit, he said nobody has ever guessed his real identity correctly. He said it's a very "Hannah Montana" thing because barely any of his friends in his real-life know that he is Corpse Husband."I don't have to worry about people in my personal life using me for clout, because they don't know I have clout," he said.Corpse said he quit going to school at 12, and many people from his past think he "dropped off the face of the planet and died." He told Padilla he sometimes wishes those people knew something of his success."My teachers all said I would be nothing, and all my friends thought I was a drug dealer," he said. "I would like to tell them about it a bit."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">—Corpse Husband (@Corpse_Husband) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1327080395729367042?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 13, 2020</a></blockquote><ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/aoc-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-among-us-twitch-stream-memes-vote-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's 'Among Us' Twitch stream met voters where they were, and the memes prove it</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ilhan-omar-gaming-pc-specs-aoc-among-us-twitch-2020-10">The gaming PC that Rep.
