Jamie Perkins and Nikki Thot once seemed like a modern fairytale couple. They met on MySpace in 2009, married within a year, and built a successful life together online. With two daughters, Ava and Zoe, and a popular YouTube channel, their love story captivated millions. Jamie, a cinematographer, and Nikki, a South Sudanese-Australian model, rose to fame after their viral engagement and wedding videos. But behind the camera, things were unraveling. Nikki’s upbringing in a private, hardworking immigrant family clashed with the visibility of her new life.

Meanwhile, their interracial relationship attracted both praise and online hate. By 2019, they quietly separated, officially divorcing in 2023.
