The family’s YouTube channel has 3.22 million subscribers and that number continues to increase every day. Jaliyah and FunnyMike are a true YouTube power couple. This article will reveal the beautiful story of how the couple met and started their family.
Jaliyah and FunnyMike had their first date on Mike’s birthday
FunnyMike and Jaliyah initially met through social media. Both FunnyMike and Jaliyah had watched each other’s videos, but had not spoken to each other until FunnyMike messaged Jaliyah on Snapchat. Jaliyah admitted that Mike was funny, but she didn’t pay much attention to him.
Jaliyah and FunnyMike officially met when Mike visited Jaliyah’s business to buy an iPad. FunnyMike met Jaliyah, but didn’t make a move. A short time later, FunnyMike sent another message to Jaliyah asking about the price of a new iPhone. She bought the iPhone from Jaliyah’s store, but again made no move.
FunnyMike finally made his move when he sent a bouquet of flowers to Jaliyah’s workplace. It was after the flowers that Jaliyah gave FunnyMike her number. Mike asked Jaliyah out, but she was still doubtful of her, as he had just gotten out of a bad relationship.
However, Jaliyah was delighted and decided to give FunnyMike a try. The day of the appointment turned out to be FunnyMike’s birthday. She planned a romantic date that swept Jaliyah away. Jaliyah revealed in one of her videos;
“He had come looking for me…opened the door for me…like what you’re supposed to do or whatever. And we got in the car and he wasn’t forcing the conversation, he wasn’t being corny, he was just being himself, and I thought, I might like… I might like someone… My mom was so excited… and my co-workers too…”
The relationship gradually grew from there, with the couple falling more and more in love. It hasn’t been entirely easy for the couple, as they’ve had to endure several breakup rumors.
The couple does not plan to have any more children after the birth of daughter Londyn and son MJ.
Jaliyah and Mike’s love led to the birth of their daughter Londyn in February 2019. Mike announced Londyn’s birth through an Instagram photo posted on February 13. The couple welcomed son MJ in mid-July 2020. Mike announced the birth via an Instagram video of MJ captioned, “Welcome son. Daddy I love you.”
Khaliyah posted a video titled Baby MJ is here in which he explained that he didn’t vlog MJ’s birth because the delivery happened so quickly. Through a May 2020 Instagram caption attached along with photos of a pregnant Jaliyah alongside Londyn, Jaliyah explained what her motherhood means to her:
“I believe that God sent you into my life to give me something to strive for, to show me that there is love in this world, to give me hope, and to bring me happiness. All the proof in God I need is you. I did not give you the gift of life, life gave me the gift of you. I am absolutely blessed to be your mom!”
At the moment, Jaliyah is content with two babies. Through a video posted on the channel on August 30, 2020, Ella Jaliyah told her fans that she adopted a contraceptive method that prevents her from getting pregnant for five years. “We don’t need to have children until our children we have now can take care of our new children,” Jaliyah said with a smile.
Londyn is already showing promise in the realm of social media. He appears in the most family videos and has more than 800,000 followers on his Instagram page.
FunnyMike and Jaliyah temporarily broke up after she complained that he doesn’t give enough family time.
On August 12, 2020, FunnyMike posted a video saying he was done with Jaliyah after she left without wearing her engagement ring. Mike, visibly furious and emotional, said that he couldn’t take it anymore. He ranted:
“I’m trying to be a family man. Sometimes I can’t go to a picnic man because I’m working. Do you hear what I’m saying? I’m trying to make it happen here. I know women want your time and they are wasting it. I’m trying to make it happen. I’m not playing. This is for real. She left her ring by the bed. If it’s not going to work, it’s not going to work.”
Mike seemed resigned to the fact that the couple’s relationship couldn’t work, as did Jaliyah in her response video. Jaliyah appeared alongside Mike’s sister, Paris, to talk about Mike’s video. Paris stood up for Mike when Jaliyah accused him of neglecting family. Jaliyah stated that the relationship was over, but she added that she was open to a reconciliation. She said:
“If you don’t want me to be happy, then you don’t really care about me. I make this move not only for myself, but also for my children. In any case, they deserve it. I have to be 100% emotionally and mentally for my children. It is for my children; It’s not just me. Hopefully we’ll be back.”
Paris said she was sure Jaliyah and Mike would get back together, and her prediction turned out to be true. Mike and Jaliyah are still going strong.
