One of the most popular family channels on YouTube is LVE Family, which currently has 471,000 subscribers. Laura Mellado, her husband Victor Hallman and her son Elliot make a fun-loving Californian family. LVE Family is not just a family channel as it contains fashion videos promoting Luara’s store called Laura’s boutique.
Laura made a name for herself in the fashion industry before joining YouTube. Social media helped boost her fashion business when Laura’s boutique caught the eye of megastars like James Charles. James has modeled a few clothes for the fashion house.
This piece will look at a special place in Laura and Victor’s relationship, the recent revelation of Laura’s pregnancy, and the effects of the pandemic on Laura’s boutique.
Disneyland is a special place for Laura and Victor because it is where they had their first date, where Victor proposed to her, and where Laura told Victor she was pregnant.
Laura and Víctor met two weeks after he saw her photo on Instagram. Víctor worked at Disneyland, and Laura and her then-boyfriend passed by her booth when they entered Disneyland. After their first meeting, Víctor began to comment on Laura’s videos. They both commented that after Laura broke up with her ex, she agreed to go out with him. In a video from July 29, 2020, Victor said:
“And you know what I did guys, I literally sent him bug emojis every day just to remind him. I told him, ‘I’m not going to stop pestering you until you go to Disneyland with me.’
For the first year of their relationship, the couple hung out every day at Disneyland. Victor worked there so he could get Laura in for free. “Disneyland became our thing, like every day,” Victor said. A few months into the relationship, Victor asked Laura to be his girlfriend at (you guessed it!) Disneyland.
Laura told Victor that she was pregnant at Disneyland and Victor proposed to Laura at the same location. Victor summed up the role the theme park played in their relationship when he said, “Honestly, I have a lot to thank Disneyland for. If I wasn’t working there, I wouldn’t have seen you. If I hadn’t taken you to Disneyland on all my dates, you probably wouldn’t have been interested.
Laura appreciates Disneyland’s role in the couple’s relationship, but feels that she would have ended up with Victor no matter where it took her. “I feel like anywhere else you would have taken me, she still would have fallen for you.”
Laura refrained from telling people that she is pregnant with the couple’s second child because she feared losing the pregnancy.
On November 16, 2020, Laura announced to the world that she was pregnant with the couple’s second child. Laura also revealed that she had kept the pregnancy a secret for a month before informing her followers because she feared losing the child. She fought back tears as she explained:
“I just wanted everything to be okay. I wanted to make sure nothing bad was going to happen. I know we still have a chance of something happening, but the chance of it happening is diminishing. I feel like if something were to happen, I don’t think I’d be strong enough to talk about it online. I just don’t want other people to suffer. I wanted the damage to be for me… It was God’s plan.
Laura and Victor are particularly excited that Elliot will have a brother to grow up with. Laura grew up surrounded by siblings and wants Elliot to experience and share similar brotherly love. Victor commented that Laura seemed happier and more grateful for her life after finding out that she was pregnant. Laura is so happy to be pregnant that she now wants more babies. She surprised Victor when he said, “Now I want like 80 [babies]. I just want a lot of them.”
Mellado feels the baby is a boy, but he wouldn’t care if it’s a girl. Videos of Laura’s pregnancy reactions are out and he promised he’ll share them soon. He also promised her fans that she and Victor will share everything that happens during her pregnancy.
The pregnancy helped Laura cope with the closure of her boutiques due to the pandemic
Laura Mellado was born on January 30, 1992 in California. She always had an eye for fashion, and as a thank you for that, Laura’s mom included a wall for Laura in her fashion store. Over time, Laura’s wall eclipsed all the other walls in the boutique. Laura’s mother eventually moved out, leaving the boutique to Laura. Laura’s boutique information page says:
“Daughter Laura only had one wall in her mother’s thrift store. With limited space, she could only start with 5 outfits. As the weeks passed, Laura’s mom noticed that Laura’s daughter’s business started to take over, so she made the decision to move out and let her daughter take over.”
Six months later, the store couldn’t keep up with Laura’s growing clientele. Her dad stepped in and helped Laura secure a larger space for her boutique. Over time, Laura’s boutique opened in other parts of the United States.
Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic forced the closure of some of Laura’s stores. Laura found it hard to bear, but the news of her pregnancy made everything better. She explained in the pregnancy announcement video:
“I feel like it came out at the perfect time because of the corona. We had some problems with our stores for Laura’s Boutique. I felt depressed for a while. When I heard the news about the baby, I was shocked, but deep down I was very happy because it was the blessing we needed.”
