Their dedicated YouTube channel, also called Jenna Julien, has already racked up over , subscribers at the time of writing. As noted by Study Breaks , the happy couple covers a broad variety of topics during their lengthy chats, including online culture, sports, and, of course, relationships.
The biggest pull for long-term fans of Jenna, in particular, is her chemistry with Julien who she frequently features in her own videos a particular highlight was when Jenna gifted him an Ariana Grande-esque high ponytail , to hilarious effect. Podcasting clearly was the next logical step for a couple fans can't get enough of and whose easy rapport makes for easy listening on those long commutes.
Given her online popularity and insane reach, it stands to reason Jenna would have bigger aspirations beyond YouTube. Although she's branched out, our girl will never be the one peddling miracle weight loss teas or any other such products for easy money. In a interview with the legendary Larry King , the YouTube superstar made it very clear that she won't be selling out any time soon.
She shared that she's turned down numerous lucrative endorsement deals over the years because keeping things real with her fans is her number one priority. I think that working with brands and things can be great and a lot of people do it really well, but for me, it feels very much like stuffing my own pockets with money and taking advantage of the people that are there to see me," she explained to King. In , Jenna became had her likeness recreated in wax. Reacting to the news on Instagram, she wrote , "I'm so beyond honored and excited that nycwax is making me into a wax figure!!
In October at their Times Square location you can come take selfies with wax me and grope da butt all you want. The grope zoo will officially be open jk but seriously this is probably the coolest thing that has ever happened I'm just so completely floored by this and thank you so much nycwax.
Jenna welcomed the wax model of herself — complete with a selfie-taking arm — in October, with proud BF Julien Solomita naturally standing by to shoot the event, sharing the grand reveal with fans on YouTube.
However, she was later shocked to learn that the statue had been vandalized. In , Jenna got hurt for real when she and Solomita were involved in a terrifying car accident while riding in a taxi after leaving the airport. Taking to Twitter, Jenna apologized for the lack of content that day, noting that the couple was fine and sustained no major injuries in the crash, but they had just returned home from the hospital and were resting accordingly.
Jenna further elaborated on the incident in a YouTube video, telling fans that wearing your seat belt is of the utmost importance. Later that month, Jenna provided another update and some scary pics of her bruises to Twitter fans, once again noting the importance of wearing your seat belt. As hard as it might be to believe, hugely successful YouTube star Jenna Marbles is just as confused about life as everybody else.
In a interview with Huffington Post , Jenna waxed lyrical about how little she understands her enormous reach, and she encouraged fans watching to follow in her footsteps because, as far as she's concerned, if she can do it, anybody can. And the skill set that I have, I think consists mostly of being that, being authentically that, unapologetically that, and having a very clear voice, and being willing to share. I've always said that there's enough room on the internet for everyone. And what I do isn't necessarily special.
I'm just out here doing it. Anyone can. There's space for everyone's voice on the internet," she opined. As for what's next, Jenna just hopes to keep on keeping on, telling HuffPost , "It is my goal to live on the internet for as long as I can, because I think it's the place to be.
Considering how modest Jenna is about her own fame, and how encouraging she is to those wishing to follow in her footsteps, it makes sense she'd want to help newcomers get a foothold in the industry — even unintentionally. As reported by the Washington Post in January , a year-old kid named Joey was hanging in a Los Angeles mall with his buddy the previous month when he spotted the couple known collectively on YouTube as Jenna Julien, with their dog Kermit, vlogging just a few feet away.
After chasing them down and having a quick fanboy moment, Joey continued on with his day, thinking the encounter was cool but nothing more. That very same night, Jenna featured his channel in a video , which also included a snippet of their conversation. Now, she occasionally travels to colleges and universities as a featured speaker in addition to making videos, co-hosting a podcast, and streaming gameplay on the live-streaming video platform Twitch.
Despite mostly staying out of mainstream news, avoiding major controversy, and keeping the same publishing schedule since , Jenna has maintained her success. The content on her channel has evolved over the past eight years as she has. Now, she posts a variety of content on the Jenna Marbles channel — everything from creating Halloween costumes for her dogs to putting on layers of makeup. In addition to her YouTube channel, the Twitch channel she shares with Julien has over , followers.
