YouTube star Jenna Marbles has married boyfriend Julien Solomita after nine years together.
The content creator, real name Jenna Nicola Mourey, was massively popular on YouTube since her first video went viral all the way back in 2010.
And while she took an ‘indefinite hiatus’ from the platform in 2020, Jenna still has a huge following online, as does boyfriend Julian, with the pair having previously hosted podcast and Twitch streams together.
Now Jenna and Julien have announced they are married, almost a decade after first getting together and ver a year since getting engaged.
Julien, 29, took to Instagram on Friday where he shared some gorgeous black-and-white snaps from their big day, writing simply: ‘Married otters <3.’
Photographs see the pair sharing a kiss, each with beaming smiles on their faces, with Julien in a suit and Jenna in a traditional white lace dress – while pushing her chihuahua in a pram.

Congratulations have flooded in for the happy couple, with some of streaming’s biggest names posting messages of support under Julien’s announcement.

Pewdiepie said: ‘Yay, conrats guys!’ while TikTok star Brittany Broski said she was ‘sobbing.’
Julien had announced in April 2021 that he and Jenna were engaged, sharing the news with followers during a live Twitch stream.
He said at the time, looking a little nervous: ‘A little while ago, I asked Jenna to marry me and she said yes. So, we are engaged.
‘It feels good to get the words out as I wanted to tell you for a while… so there is the news.’

He went on: ‘She is still offline as you know, but still very much part of my life and now it’s official.’
Jenna quit YouTube and, later, social media, following backlash to her older videos which many deemed problematic, including using blackface to impersonate Nicki Minaj.
In a video titled A Message, she said: ‘There’s a couple things people want me to address and apologise for, and I’m happy to do that.’

Adding she was ‘moving on’ from her channel, she said: ‘I don’t know if that’s forever, I don’t know how long it’s going to be.
‘I want to make sure the things that I put into the world are not hurting anyone.’
