The duo are primarily known for their respective TikTok accounts (Champa has 13.3 million followers and Boo has 13.7 million) where they’ve documented their daily lives and travels as a gay couple.

The couple also have a joint YouTube account which has garnered over 2.5 million subscribers.

In an interview with OUT, Champa put the blame for the breakup on their nine-year age gap as well as the constant pressures of being social media stars.

From OUT:

“I think as you age, you kind of realize different things,” he said. “Then on top of it, the social media aspect of it and people constantly comparing ourselves to each other and the pressure of maintaining this image. It almost became, I would tell people, like a Black Mirror episode.”

“It was almost like I felt trapped within an ideology of what we’ve become,” he continued. “I can only speak for myself. I lost myself in this relationship, incredibly. I sacrificed a lot for this relationship. I dedicated myself to this relationship and the brand that we were building.”

“I think that at this stage in my life, I had to choose me and pick me first. And I think [Pierre] had to do the same, and that’s the direction we’re heading in.”

The reaction from social media is about what you’d expect ranging from shock to shrugs.
