PewDiePie – real name Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg – and Marzia met in 2011 and married in 2019, and have shared their story over the years.
They got engaged in 2018, when he popped the question during a trip to Japan, before tying the knot in an intimate wedding in Kew Gardens, London in August 2019.
Over their relationship, they have lived in Italy and Sweden together before setting up home in the UK. They have been living in Brighton for the past few years.
In February this year, they announced PewDiePie and Marzia, 30, announced their pregnancy with a clip showing four positive pregnancy tests, which they took to be sure, before cutting to a clip of the influencer explaining that he was waiting in their car for Marzia to finish her doctor’s appointment.
Viewers were then treated to the couple’s pregnancy journey, including Marzia’s growing baby bump and their beloved dog doting on the mum-to-be, clearly aware that they’ll be joined by a baby soon.
