Jesse Wellens

Jesse teamed up with Jeanna Smith (another immensely popular YouTube star) back in 2007, to start their YouTube channel, titled ‘PrankvsPrank’, also known as ‘pvp’. The duo posted videos of them playing pranks on each other. Since then, there has been no looking back for this awesome twosome. These episodes gained the acceptance of the masses and within no time Jesse and Jeanna became household names. Surprisingly, most of the videos posted on the channel went viral, resulting in millions of views and subscribers.

Although there are quite a few pranksters on ‘YouTube’, it’s probably Jesse’s choice of ideas which make his pranks a cut above the rest. Sensational episodes such as the one in which Jesse pretended cheating on Jeanna, who was also his girlfriend, prompted millions to click the play button. Apart from adultery, Jesse also experimented with creepy and spooky pranks, leaving his audience wanting more. Jesse and Jeanna have refrained from repeating concepts which worked well previously and have managed to keep their fans guessing. Perhaps this approach helped this YouTube star carve a niche.

Apart from his pranks, Jesse has grabbed headlines for the wrong reasons as well. A few claims of the famous prankster cheating on his girlfriend and partner in crime Jeanna Smith surfaced online. A source claims that in mid-2016, Jesse revealed a shocking fact about his personal life to his fans through his social media account. Jesse announced that he’s the father of a girl child who apparently has been adopted for something else. This startling revelation also drew a lot of flak, especially from Jesse’s ardent fans. Thus, the recent times have been quite turbulent for this celebrity. This episode proves that a celebrity’s life isn’t all that glittery as it seems to be, as perceived by most commoners.
