Jeana Smith & Jesse Wellens
This was a revolutionary internet star breakup. They were together for over 10 years. Eventually, they shocked the whole internet with a wakeup call when they announced they broke up.
So sad! They were together for so long, and then they just broke up. They were truly the best YouTube couple ever! I miss them so much. It's like they don't even post anymore.

PopularMMOs & GamingWithJen
I stopped watching them after hearing this.
I literally cried. They were the first YouTubers I ever watched. When I heard they broke up, something broke in me. They took me through the bad days and the tough days. Watching their videos was the only thing that kept me sane.
I can't believe that this happened.
I honestly just kept watching the old videos. Pat and Jen were perfect together, in my opinion.
I will always be sad that they broke up.
Why did they break up? That is so sad. They seemed perfect for each other, and then the next thing I know, they broke up.

Liza Koshy & David Dobrik
For years, Liza Koshy and David Dobrik were one of the best couples you could imagine. They belonged together in ways you couldn't fathom. In 2018, they released a video announcing their breakup, shocking YouTube and the world. The video broke the internet with its tragedy.
It was a historic breakup on YouTube. They were some of the most popular YouTubers and had great potential to be together for life, but their breakup was completely unexpected. No one saw it coming. It was viewed a jaw-dropping 17 million times in the first 24 hours, more than the total subscribers of either of their channels.
This made it one of the most-viewed non-music videos by comparison. For instance, Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus got about 12.3 million views in 24 hours, making it Miley's second biggest YouTube debut, only behind Don't Call Me Angel by Ariana Grande featuring Miley and Lana Del Rey, which got about 21.5 million views in 24 hours. The breakup video currently has over 68 million views, and no other video by David has come close to this in any manner. Even to this day, we're not over the fact they broke up out of the blue.

Lucas Cruikshank & Jennifer Veal
Jennifer Veal was Nanny Agatha from Jessie. She collaborated and made friends with Lucas Cruikshank for over a year, from 2013 to 2014, posting random videos.
After they broke up, she started her own solo channel, and Lucas's channel is now just Lucas.
-
Jeffree Star & Nathan Schwandt
This hit YouTube and their fans really hard. Jeffree Star, known for makeup, and Nathan Schwandt broke up after five years together. This was worse than David Dobrik and Liza Koshy's breakup and, at that time, the worst since Jaclyn and Jon Hill's.
His video is by far the saddest of early 2020.
-
Jaclyn Hill & Jon Hill
Jaclyn Hill is not only known for being a beauty guru but also for her relationship with Jon Hill. They were together for 8.8 years until she broke up with him, shocking her fanbase and YouTube.
We hadn't seen a breakup after such a long relationship since Jeana Smith and Jesse Wellens' breakup after 10 years. Never forget.
