Behind The Curtains

Jeana was born Jennifer Smith on March 15, 1983 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA to Steve and Harilyn Sue. She has a brother named Jason. She has a degree from Rowan University, New Jersey, and she finished the course at the top of her class.

She lost her mother in 1996 due to ovarian cancer. The incident made a deep impact on 16 year old Jeana’s mind and since then she has been showing her solidarity against the deadly disease by participating in the National Ovarian Cancer Walk. Jeana’s father also briefly suffered from prostate cancer, but made a full recovery.

Jeana Met Jesse sometime around 2005. The couple did not hit it off instantly and Jeana did not acknowledge Jesse’s approach. She pretended she lost his number. But they met for a second time, seemed to get on together pretty well, and started dating. During the initial period Jeana was based in Philly and Jesse in New Jersey.

Jesse was in the Airforce and in 2006 had to go on a tour to Korea. Jeana continued the long distance relationship and even visited him in Korea. Upon his return from Korea, the two moved in together in a house in Philly. They were together for 10 years with their fans speculating about their wedding.

The couple, however, split up in August, 2016. They addressed their fans together in an emotional video saying that they are going to take a break from YouTube as well as from each other. They blamed the life of being in the public eye too much for adding to the stress in the relationship. The pressure of uploading content everyday really left their personal lives in shambles.

The couple resumed uploading videos a month later. While Jesse is currently living in New York and is busy making short films, Jeana has bounced back from the break up and uploads regular vlogs and cat videos in her three channels. She and Jesse have remained good friends and continue to collaborate in their channel.
