Created in 2009, the channel now has more than 10 million subscribers. The Wellens Channel was named YouTube’s Best Prankster in 2013 by USA Today.

Jesse Wellens Facts / Age
Jesse Michael Wellens was born on September 25, 1982, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Stella and Steve Wellens. He is the middle child in the family and has a sibling named Candice Wellens.
Wellens was one of those kids who liked to bully other kids at school. This saw him get kicked out of high school on several occasions, but he managed to make it to graduation. Even though Jesse may seem insane, he served in the army… For a year he was posted to Korea. While in the U.S. Army, Jesse was in a marriage that ended almost immediately.
After his divorce, Jesse would meet Jennifer “Jeana” Smith through a mutual friend named Faith. They exchanged phone numbers but didn’t start a relationship until they met weeks later. They started dating in 2005.
Jesse and Jeana in 2009 started a YouTube channel together. It all started after Jesse posted a clip of Jeana doing the cinnamon challenge. This then resulted in a series of prank videos featuring one prank on the other and how they planned their pranks.
Their sense of humor and quirkiness have garnered millions of subscribers, making them one of YouTube’s friendliest couples. Soon they started taking other gigs, like when they both appeared in two episodes of the Epic Rap Battles of History web series.

In 2012, Jesse and Jeana started another YouTube channel named BFvsGF where they documented their daily life as a couple. Rocky, as he is also known, has taken up other endeavors, including music. In 2013, he released a rap song “Cookie Dance” under the nickname “Chip Chocolate”. This song had moderate success, both in the UK and in Sweden.
He also ran the YouTube channel Down Range Gaming where he played video games while thrilling his fans with tales of his days in the US military.
Much to the chagrin of their fans, Jesse and Jeanal’s relationship broke down in May 2016, but it was a mutual relationship as they both agreed to remain friends. They had two cats Nylah and Bamboo. Jesse now only manages the PrankvsPrank channel while their BFvsGF has been put on hold.
There are rumors that Jese cheated with a girl named Kristina Askerova, but this has never been confirmed.
Mom – Stella Wellens
Jesse’s mother, Stella Wellens, died in December 2015. She had suffered from depression for over ten years and used drugs while on drugs. Stella was also suicidal and had been put into a coma after an unsuccessful suicide attempt.
A few weeks before his death, Jesse’s mother had been declared missing. Jesse expressed his fears that his mother was suicidal since his grandmother had just passed away a few weeks earlier.
Jesse was right about his fears… Local authorities would later discover Stella’s body in her car parked in a business parking lot. She was laid to rest later in December 2015.
Daughter
During the same week that Jesse announced his shocking split from his girlfriend of over a decade, he also shocked fans by announcing that he had a baby he had given up for adoption.

In a series of tweets, Jesse explained that he wanted her back. However, many speculated that it was just one of his usual pranks, but Jesse claimed he was serious.
While many seemed to sympathize with him, others criticized him for revealing information on social media. One user @Jessewelle wrote: “You need to take a step back and understand what you want before posting all of this on social media. You are an adult, act like one. “
Jesse deleted several of his tweets, but kept the one where he mentioned the child’s name and age. Her name is Luchia and she is 13 years old in 2016.
In an effort to join her, Wellens moved to New York, where Luchia lives with the parents who adopted her.
