I DM’d My Celebrity Crush… Then Married Him at 20 (Ep. 1)

[@ConciousCarter]

This was such a lovely introduction episode! It's so refreshing to be able to hear from a young Christian couple that are so self aware and non-judgemental. Also absolutely love being able to watch the podcast and that your into/outro music fits great. Good luck with the podcast guys 😊

[@missymea94]

😊😊

[@jessandgabriel]

Thanks so much!

[@evaquick8676]

I agree! I am 23 and not affiliated with any religion (just feeling spiritual and living rn), but absolutely love their videos and hearing their opinions. They’re so well-rounded and appear down to earth. They’re 2 of my favorite content creators for sure.

[@mirandaschermerhorn5264]

Couldn't agree more with you MissPoppetxXx ! So refreshing hearing a young Christian couple talk about important things and not wavering at all sharing their beliefs/opinions but also being kind about it :)

[@lovelylivie14]

Just had to chime in, when I first met my husband at 18 him 21, within the first week I told my friend "I'm going to marry him" it's been over 10 years now! ❤ God works in His ways and when you are patient He will make it known 100% who your person is!

[@KytiaLamour]

I always smile when you tell your story about saying “I love you” for the first time. Your whole relationship is just SO sweet from the very start. ❤

[@completezconcentrate9967]

I can’t believe I’ve been with you guys since the beginning, even before you were together when Gabe was still doing vines on grocery stores 😂 & Jess’ channel got viral with her dad and brother (the oven kid) “When mom isn’t home”, and then when Gabe introduced Jess from a music fest you went to. Feels just like yesterday! The most unproblematic & unbothered couple 🤍

[@diamond.jess.]

You’ve been my favorite couple for so long and I’m so excited to be on this journey with you guys!☺️🤍

[@alessaauger4516]

I hated Podcasts UNTIL YOU MADE THIS. Guys it’s literally the best thing ever to listen to, I follow you since the very beginning and I’m so happy to see thing evolving cause I was afraid to « loose you » with the arrival of Kaia, not that it would have been wrong, but i’m so happy that you stayed on youtube and that you created this!! Can’t wait for the next episodes

[@annapimenta7864]

This is truly wonderful. I haven’t been on KZbin much lately. But I always find myself coming back to this channel. You guys are such a bright light! So genuine! A great example that I look up to as being a young married Christian. Thank you for what you do and the goodness you put out in the world! God bless you 🤍

[@kariemontgomery2295]

I love how you two vibe together. It’s easy listening! Good talks, good laughs. A husband and wife I respect and love listening to your stories. can’t wait for more :)

[@tiffanymcgowen3756]

I absolutely love this! Jess and gabe are such beautiful humans they both could pass for high class celebrities.

[@OpenUpYourHeartPod]

Just seeing the length of the podcast makes me sooo happy! Yessss to more of Jess and Gabe!!

[@cami_long]

Also loved the photos you included, all the visual learners really appreciate it! Was so cool to see a more serious (but not in a bad way at all) side of Gabriel and a see Jess’s sense of humour as well - the way you both interact with each other is lovely! Well done!!

[@babytyty13]

I loved this! I’ve always connected with you guys and the way that you dated with the intent to marry. I got married 3 weeks after getting engaged at 22! Everyone called me crazy but we’re celebrating 7 years this year and I couldn’t be happier.

[@izziew337]

29:00 I met my husband when I was 16 we dated for a year when I was 17 and we got married when I was 18 lol so getting married fast is so relatable for me. It’s hard to believe that him and I are going to be celebrating our 11 year wedding anniversary. I love the podcast! Can’t wait for more episodes. ❤

[@vivekchavanmusic]

I really think the podcast should have a separate channel guys. I've seen too many great channels plummet because they started posting podcast episodes on their main channel and I wouldn't want that happening to you! Even if you're not going to make vlog style smaller videos as much anymore, let this still be the space for that. People will eventually click lesser and lesser looking at bigger videos and when you do decide to make a video the way you did for half a decade, it wouldn't be recommended enough to the subscribers. Podcast is a totally different landscape that should be built independently even if that seems counter intuitive in the beginning. I've been watching you guys since before this channel was even made and I only want the best for you I love you both!

[@tiffanygreen7061]

Love you guys! As a Jewish woman (and mom) your age, I can so relate to your lifestyle and morals. It’s refreshing to watch such wholesome and relatable content. Keep up ur work of spreading sunshine! Looking forward to this podcast!!❤

[@floks3223]

omg this is everything the 47 minutes flew by so fast i need a 7-hour version of this podcast

[@srivaishnavikalidindi3908]

you guys are killing it !❤ could listen to endless hours of Jess and Gabe speaking. can't wait for all the future episodes !!!!

[@lesharrchew]

wow i never knew jess was 5'8"!! anyway i loveee listening to the both of you talk so this was a real treat (:

[@ItsJeniferT]

Congrats on the podcast! Also an idea, I think it would be interesting to know Gabe's and Jess' parents perspective on what happened. I

[@sandrabarrazueta8450]

This is the best idea ever ❤…I’ve been following you for the past 7 years and it’s amazing how much joy and peace I get from your videos! I really admire you guys. Thank you ❤

[@ElenaKinser2021]

You guys have always been my favorite "Influence/Celebrity couple". I have followed you guys for years. You are the best! Can't wait to continue watching!

[@michelleortiz2549]

Love you guys! ❤ I also met my husband at 19 through social media. When i had met him, i immediately said “this is my husband, im going to marry him.” 6 years later, we’re married with a sweet baby boy! When you know, you know!

[@dance2musicevery1]

Love the first episode of the podcast! I love the, “So good or no good” segment because I too am living in my blissfully ignorant bubble and don’t keep up with pop culture. 😂 Thank you, Jess 🥰👏🏼

[@AngelikaCooper]

It’s crazy how fast y’all got married. My boyfriend and I are both Christian and long distance we’ve known each other for 3 years, have only gotten to meet 2 times in the past 10 months. Lost distance is hard but worth it! Being in person is definitely different than FaceTime/texting.

[@4hotpink10]

that sounds like hell😂

[@AngelikaCooper]

@@4hotpink10 it’s not easy but we trust in God

[@ykook7000]

They were obviously committed you don't sound committed at all

[@AngelikaCooper]

@@ykook7000my boyfriend and I? Yeah we are committed. We haven’t dated the whole time we’ve known each other.

[@angelikasimon]

Woah we have the same name!! And I’m also a Christian in a long distance relationship of 3 years. 😳

[@annie5593]

I had no idea yall were so tall! Great episode!! Cant wait for more

[@bekahwray253]

Hey I started watching your channel when I first became a believer. I would never normally comment on a channel but I feel led to share what’s on my heart; God tells us to live in the world in the physical sense but not be of it, when I clicked on this video it felt very worldly. We are told to be salt and light As "salt", the Christian is to counteract the power of sin. As "light" we are to illuminate or make visible. Our lives are to be an on-going witness to the reality of Christ's presence in our lives. You have a great opportunity with your followers to help further Gods kingdom, sadly people are going to Hell it is an urgent matter and we have the best news of salvation. I pray for you and your family and thank God for bringing you both together❤️

[@notcarm]

ahhh i loved when they explained the slogan of the podcast because it's kinda meaningful to me. jess and gabe are the only couple, who i ever had interest in supporting for this long (6 years and counting). in a way, it does feel like i've gotten to do life with them from when i was in high school till now, when i'm almost gabe's age from when they met each other! love you lots, jess and gabe!! congrats on the start of your podcast

[@lauren7784]

This was such a great first episode, I can’t wait for the rest! 🤍

[@ishakumar3055]

Oh I love this so much! Obviously we heard about your first meet and to this day feels surreal to me. But when jess was telling her side of the story, it's soo cute to see her blush about it, now when they have come such a long way. Gabriel is so funny without even trying, watching you guys in this podcast is going to be my new favourite thing! Hands down ❤🙌

[@siobhanicles]

I honestly never watch or listen to podcasts, but when I saw that you two were starting one I got so excited! You've been my favourite creators for such a long time now (since Gabe surprised Jess in Australia) and I'm so happy to see how your lives have changed and how you've grown as both a couple and as creators. Keep up the amazing work!

[@MaggieWhitehead]

I have been watching your videos since you were dating, and you probably will never see this or read past it with the hundreds of comments, but I want you to know that your channels are such a positive influence on my life. I’m studying to become a doctor, and during my steady breaks, I watch your videos for a laugh, a smile, and a sense of pure goodness and love! I cannot wait to listen to you both and watch all of your podcasts, and I pray the Lord continues to bless your family !

[@vheytolentino1000]

I heard it so many times how you guys met but I still can't get over it.... I just love how you are both prepared for each other.

[@Itzezyyyy]

So excited for this journey😆honestly thought you two already had a podcast with the way y’all filmed your sit down vids haha but this makes me happy and you two are literally goals for every long distance relationship we love to see it😭🫶🏽

[@sanianaeem8311]

Love seeing this new version of you! Enjoyed it till the end :)

[@zpakk4499]

You two made this time fly by so fast! Looking forward to this new chapter in your lives. Congrats and prayers to you both!

[@HannahWright]

Loved this! So excited for more episodes in the future!

[@michelle-se7rk]

i’ve been having trouble sleeping and watching your podcast just made me feel relaxed and it helped me sleep last night! (ofc i watched till the end dw 😝) can’t wait for more episodes!

[@juanav99]

Can’t believe it’s been 7 years already. I’ve known Gabe for almost 9 years. Time flies by, but I feel I’ve grown with you guys in some kind of way. It’s so refreshing to hear this story again ❤ Greetings from Colombia

[@KennaClaxton]

Absolutely loved it!!💛 can’t wait for more!

[@charleenbower6803]

BTW, love this format. Learned so much more about you guys than in theawesome blogs sharing your lives over the years in 5 minutes splices. love your content and your story.

[@daarczi6]

This podcast made me so happy and calm.. I can’t tell you how grateful I am!!❤❤ love it Cant wait for the next episodes!!

[@tylerstanway4559]

This is so amazing! I’ve been hoping for you guys to do a podcast for so long and this definitely exceeded all my expectations 💛 Can’t wait to see where this goes! God bless.

[@notascrabbleword]

I originally discovered you both with the “My Australian Girlfriend Drives In America” video & have followed since then. Even though you have both talked about how you met for years now, it was nice to hear a full deep dive. Thank you for sharing. Continued success to you both 🎉

[@andybychance]

Love this ❤. Here a 34yr old woman finding so much respect and inspiration from you two. I am a believer as well and the admiration you have instilled in me since your earlier days as a couple and now as husband and wife is beyond me. I truly believe God is speaking comfort and abundant love through you to my life. I thank you for your wise stewardship in navigating this platform and still keeping your faith and your values so strong that even through the cold screen of a device, God allows you to testify of Him. ❤ Would love for one day to sit down with you two and just talk life, the work of God and just worship Him for His abundant grace. God bless you and I sincerely pray for God's outpouring mercy and glory upon this new season in your lives.

[@kristiannicolajsen8132]

I loved this, its the first time where i really wanted to listen to a podcast! It was comforting to listen to and it was something i could reflect on while doing other stuff

[@stephq472]

I’ve been invested since y’all’s first vlog 🩷 love this & love y’all. XO

[@lovelylivie14]

I am so excited about this podcast! I feel like we are all the same age and in a similar season of life being young parents and busy so being able to listen to y'all is just so nice because I LOVE the videos but I don't always get the chance to sit and watch. So this is great! Thanks for the dinner convo guys! ❤

[@sashalimitless]

Love this first episode! I learn so much that I can apply into my own life. I Appreciate and love Jess and Gabe. Congrats on the podcast and I’m excited to watch more.

[@paopao11]

This was a great start. I really enjoyed it. It was fun and engaging. Two thumbs up!!

[@ingrid5973]

what a great first episode! can't wait for more! really liked the "so good, no good" section we all love some pop culture moments haha

[@safachelly5176]

Love you both ❤️ And doing this podcast for a deeper level of communication is such a great idea to keep up with us ! Thank you 🥰🥰

[@The1Tamori]

Ahh I love this episode and the production; it's comforting and exciting to have these relaxed conversations with you guys. As a viewer, I could feel the love in the way you both speak with one another and there's just this calming spirit that's full of warmth rushing over. I definitely feel like I'm talking to two wonderful friends who genuinely appreciates my presence. Thank you for this ^-^

[@willowblake21]

I have never watched podcasts until this! I’m obsessed with everything about this!

[@taylahcartmel121]

So much love to you two, thanks for sharing your energy with us! ❤

[@gwchk7]

Super interesting story! ❤ it’s cute how committed and excited Jess is (or at least seems) for this podcast 😊

[@baisha]

yay, a podcast from jess and gabriel!!! wishing you two the best of luck with your podcast

[@elainegarcia8992]

Loved! just loved! I love how calm and deep conversation this is. Got a little teary eyed with hearing how in love both of you are. I think I'm in love but he does not know it and I know God , with his perfect timing, will let me know if he is the one...Jess and Gabe, my full support since day one, from Vine days too!! Much love and may God keep blessing the both of you.

[@dianateresavegaurtaza484]

This is absolutely amazinggg! You guys have been such an inspiration for me and my relationship. Through your example I have learned what true love is and to have a brief space each week to get to know you better is a gift from God! Congratulations on this new chapter!🎉❤️✨

[@saraihernandez3194]

I absolutely loved it! I’m so glad you guys finally released your podcast! I can’t wait for more to come! 🎉 God bless you both in this new journey!

[@anisnursalwani]

Me and Jess are the same age, and i been watching you guys since the beginning. Deep down from bottom of my heart, I’m so happy that you guys are in the path “so far so good”. You both been through ups and downs for so many years near to a decade another 4 years, so proud for both of you. From couple, married and have a beautiful Makaiah. I appreciate for Jessica and Gabriel pure love to each other. Pray that God ease everything for you and your family. Ameen. 🤍✨

[@lavenderpinklatte]

So excited for this. I’ve been watching your content for years now. I know I’m in a good place and headspace in life when I’m watching your content. Whenever I feel lost or too caught up in life/work, I go back to your videos to ground me and that’s when I know I’ll be okay and it’ll all be better. ❤ (Ps some comments have been bringing up making another channel for the podcast so as not to affect the engagement of your other videos! Another comment explains it better, just might be something to consider. I can’t wait for more podcasts!!!! Love you both.)❤

[@memyselfmartini2328]

Yup, I'll be watching every ep. This is great! 47min FLEW by, it was so interesting and full of youthful wisdom 🎉❤ go Contes!

[@yayavalencia3804]

I honestly thought you guys said “SOFA so good” and I thought it was soooo cleaver hahah like a good cheesy play on words since you’re sitting on a sofa and all 😂❤️

[@GoddessLanda]

I enjoyed this so much and i love how relatable your guys are.

Started watching Gabe’s vines at about 13 and now I’m almost 23! So crazy. I’ve been with y’all since the beginning! ❤

[@daliborkaperic8108]

This was such a great first episode, I can’t wait for the rest!

I feel like I needed this! My favorite podcast for sure!

[@bri5944]

Great podcast!! It was so fun listening to this 😊

[@JennyAcosta_]

Your love story will always be my favorite 🥹🤣 I’ll never get tired of hearing it ! You guys were definitely meant to be!! I also can’t believe it’s been 7 years I remember watching your first videos 🥹 if feels like it was 3 years ago like Gabriel said.!! 🥹you guys are amazing ! Forever my #Goals lol 🫶🏻

[@megk2096]

I have never clicked on a video so fast!!! Congratulations on the new podcast - I am so excited to listen!! ❤

[@punuzii]

This podcast was such a good idea, I’m in a stage of life similar to you guys now, being a new mom with a 2 yr old and being married for a few years and as a Christian as well, I am excited to hear more about topics I feel like previously you would tease or discuss briefly in your other videos but it always left me wanting more lol so excited to hear you guys expand on those topics and get to feel part of a community with you 😊

[@janinefrancisco22]

I think another way to incorporate your listeners to the podcast is to have them send letters and ask for advice that you guys can give your insight on. Like I know Jess has a number that she can interact with their fans, which is great. In the same way, they can have a “so far, so good” public email that will allow their audience to share some things that they may want a 2nd opinion or 3rd opinion on. That way you guys can see where your listeners are needing help on and can pray for them as well if they need it.

[@sweetpotato2978]

Love the new way in which you guys are creating content! Especially to protect and respect your daughter's privacy❤🥰

[@ChristopherNorris_CopyGhosting]

Congratulations on surviving your first episode. Did Jess ever find her ideal church in LA? As churches are so different from each other, this would have been a great way to see how you both aligned in the type of community church can provide 😊

[@marianac5609]

been waiting for a podcast for so long from them!! cant wait to finally listen! love you guys God bless xx

[@racheloshaksmusic]

Love you guys ❤️ I love that you are both being yourself and being honest to eachother but respectful and mature

[@mariaroncallopalacio2136]

I love this podcast. I particularly admire you guys as a couple and I admire each of you individually, and for you to be so gracious and give us a little bit of your emotions and wisdom is everything. Thank you guys I love and admire you! 🥰💛🫶🏻

[@divyankasharma7515]

So so excited for further episodes. It’s so sweet and we as a community feel more connected to you guys and it’s so special. 5 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating 🎉

[@afterglowisle]

Anything you both do, whether that be music, podcasts, or merch collabs I will 100% ready to support. That being said, bravo on your first episode, had me laughing and smiling the whole time. That being the case, Zuckerburg would win in my opinion.

[@betsydiaz6301]

perfect way to start the podsie :) i am so excited for the future eps

[@linzadonak.pomtiah1808]

Jess and Gabriel's podcast is all we needed💛💛💃

[@Havixlol]

I love this! I am genuinely excited to see where this goes and for future videos! Thanks for always doing what you guys do.

[@_mariabbott]

The last topic you guys talked about was really good. I felt like it helped me understand myself more and just had a lot of good insight. So excited for you guys to keep continue your podcast conversations. 😊💛

[@mirandaschermerhorn5264]

Great podcast! I watched this Ep a few days ago because my twin recommended it and I really enjoyed hearing the story of how you guys met :) I also watched Ep 2 and what an important topic. Excited to watch Ep 3 soon when I have time :)

[@jocev1717]

I loved the first episode and I'm really looking forward to more in depth conversations with you guys. Also Jess So good OR No good segment will also keep me up to date lol I'm like Gabe, I never know whats going on outside of my bubble 😅
