Jamie Perkins and Nikki Thot’s relationship began like a modern fairytale. Meeting on MySpace in 2009, Jamie, a budding cinematographer, married Nikki, a South Sudanese-Australian model, in 2010. Together, they built a successful YouTube channel, sharing moments from their lives and raising two daughters, Ava and Zoe. Their viral proposal video and wedding footage catapulted them into social media stardom, amassing millions of views.

Nikki was born in Khartoum, Sudan, and moved to Australia as a child. She faced some challenges due to her skin color but pursued modeling and YouTube with passion. Despite initial family concerns, Nikki and Jamie created a public image of a happy, diverse family. However, the spotlight also brought online criticism, particularly around their interracial relationship.

Behind the scenes, tensions grew. By 2019, Jamie and Nikki separated, finalizing their divorce in 2023. Jamie publicly accused Nikki of infidelity and abuse during their marriage and disclosed his struggles with PTSD, depression, and social anxiety. Nikki denied these claims, expressing disappointment and emphasizing her desire to protect their daughters’ privacy.

Despite their split, both Jamie and Nikki remain devoted parents to Ava and Zoe, now six and eight. Jamie shares moments from their lives online as a single father, while Nikki continues to balance her online career and motherhood.

Their story, once a public fairytale, reveals the complexities of love, fame, and family behind the scenes. Though separated, Jamie and Nikki prioritize their daughters, navigating new chapters with shared love at the core.
