Brandon and Jackie started dating before Brandon started his social media career. Everything was going well with the couple and they rarely argued, even after Brandon started posting videos on YouTube. Things changed after Brandon started involving Jackie and her family in her videos. Fans began posting hateful comments on the videos and sparked arguments between Jackie and Brandon. Brandon stated in a video titled The real reason we are NOT getting back together:
“It was weird because these arguments didn’t make sense. They were discussions about random YouTube comments. It was like this was not like us. We never used to argue and now we realize we argue a bit more over silly things like comments on YouTube videos and Instagram direct messages from haters… We were so young we didn’t know to just ignore it…”
At the time, the couple had been in a relationship for a year and decided to try to make it work despite the difficulties. Over time, Jackie became a target for stalkers and trolls online. Brandon also received hateful comments, but they didn’t affect him as much as Jackie. She didn’t complain, but Brandon could tell that her comments affected her.
The couple decided to tailor their videos to look perfect and thus avoid hate comments. Eventually, the need to appear flawless became too much to handle and they decided to part ways. Brandon added:
“We did not part on bad terms. Sure we argued a bit, but that’s not the reason we broke up. We decided to stop being boyfriend and girlfriend because the amount of pressure in our relationship, like being in a YouTube relationship, is so different. Extreme heat and pressure from millions of people around the world… We just decided that we would be better off as friends.”
Brandon and Jackie are now the best of friends.
If you don’t know Brandon and Jackie’s history, you may think they are still dating. The two look and act like a couple, but insist that they are just best friends. Brandon continued:
“We are not lying to you when we tell you that we are separated. We really parted ways. We’re not really dating!”
Brandon and Jackie are close, and so far, Brandon has given his best friend two cars. In December 2019, Brandon gifted Jackie a new BMW and explained in a YouTube video that Jackie needed a car because his old car was totaled. He said in the video:
“Jackie is special, everything she does for me makes her special, so we have to make her feel special and we’re going to put her in a car that hardly anyone has right now.”
Brandon started his social media career on Vine, but he didn’t post videos regularly. He became famous after he started posting vlogs on YouTube. He posts a wide variety of videos, including challenges, pranks, and basketball game reviews. Brandon is an avid fan of the Phoenix Suns basketball team.
Brandon involves his parents (Mama Rug and Papa Rug) and brother (FaZe Rug) in his videos. Jackie’s family also occasionally appears in his videos. For a long time, Jackie wasn’t interested in launching her social media career. Over time, her following on her Instagram grew and now social media is her main source of income. She stated in a video in which she answered Google’s most searched questions about her:
“Brandon always offers me money for literally every video we make together. I always say no. I literally can’t take the money because he’s already gifted me two cars… Brandon promotes my social media all the time which is where I get all the offers from my brand which is my main source of income and I’ve been working. with great marks this year for which I am very happy… He helps me, I help him…”
Brandon denied that he is dating Sommer Ray
Brandon is known to have a crush on Sommer Ray. In July 2018, he asked fans to spam Sommer Ray until she agreed to go on a date with him. In November 2019, Sommer commented on one of her Instagram posts, and Brandon was beyond excited. He posted a YouTube video celebrating and stated:
“The first thing I see is that Sommer Ray commented on your photo… This is my ‘celebrity crush’. She is like the girl of my dreams. So she commented on my photo that she is cool in the first place… Then I read what she commented… I’m freaking out… I didn’t tag her in the photo, I didn’t mention her…
Brandon said he snuck into Sommer’s DMs, but a relationship didn’t materialize. He said in a video in which he answered Google’s most frequently asked questions about him:
“Are Brawadis and Sommer Ray dating? I don’t think so. You could ask him. We are not.”
