American YouTuber Valkyrae recently revealed her decision to re-sign with YouTube despite encountering challenges with the platform.

During a live stream on December 28, 2023, Valkyrae confirmed her decision to renew her contract with YouTube. She stated, “Today, I am excited to announce that I have re-signed to YouTube.”

She continued, “I will be here… for at least a while. I wasn’t going to, like – you know how before we would make YouTube announcements and stuff, and it’d be, like, all crazy and stuff. I was like, ‘I’m just going to tell them I have re-signed to YouTube.’”

Moving on, the social media personality noted that not every live-streaming platform is perfect.
Despite acknowledging this reality, she expressed contentment with YouTube, emphasizing, “I feel pretty comfortable and happy here.”

She also appreciated the platform’s attentiveness to her needs, stating, “YouTube team deals with me in a way that is… that I need, you know? They do listen to my feedback,” providing insight into the platform’s supportive approach to content creators.

Continuing the conversation, Valkyrae shared that she extensively deliberated the prospect of joining Twitch before ultimately reaffirming her commitment to YouTube. Notably, she disclosed engaging in signing discussions with Twitch CEO Dan Clancy.

She stated, “I did talk to Twitch. I did! I had a one-on-one conversation with Dan Clancy. He was wonderful as well. I was heavily considering… I was thinking. I was like… what do I do? You know?”

Despite the appeal of other options, Valkyrae concluded, “But ultimately, I feel like… I don’t know. I’m pretty okay here,” offering insight into the factors that contributed to her decision to remain with YouTube.

Following the social media personality’s announcement of re-signing a new YouTube deal, many fans expressed joy over her decision to re-sign with YouTube. One Twitter user said, “Good for YouTube & Valkyrae,” while another fan added, “Glad she’s happy, that’s a W.”

Valkyrae’s journey on YouTube

Initially, Valkyrae embarked on her streaming journey as a Twitch streamer, but in 2020, she made a pivotal shift to YouTube. Upon her move to YouTube, she joined fellow 100 Thieves member CouRageJD, who had signed an exclusive deal with the site in 2019.

Fast forward to January 31, 2022, the content creator released a video on Twitter, unveiling her decision to re-sign with YouTube Gaming.

In the video, she pulls up in a red SUV and steps into what looks like a commercial set. As she talks with the director about ideas for the announcement, she casually says, “It’s okay, I’m just staying on YouTube.”

Later, Valkyrae also candidly shared that one of the motivating factors for her continued collaboration with YouTube was a lucrative contract, acknowledging her responsibility to provide for her family.

However, sometime later, in a live stream, the social media star took a reflective turn, delving into her journey spanning three and a half years on YouTube.

Contrary to expectations, she dropped a bombshell on her streamer friends and fans, revealing that her exclusive association with the platform would end after six months. Fast forward to December 2023, she has re-signed with YouTube.

Catherine Lowe and Husband Sean Lowe Celebrate Wedding Anniversary with Romantic Trip

Catherine Lowe and Sean Lowe marked their 10th wedding anniversary on January 26, 2024. Now, the married couple is finally celebrating their marriage anniversary with a special romantic vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

On Thursday, May 2, 2024, Catherine – whose birth name is Catherine Giudici – took to her Instagram stories to post a picture alongside her husband. The photo showed the love birds on the plane on their way to their vacation destination. “10 years married,” she wrote.

Additionally, the reality TV star revealed some details about their luxurious vacation, saying they were staying at the five-star Esperanza resort in Mexico. On the same day, she shared more pictures from their romantic getaway.

She posted a series of pictures and videos showing off the gorgeous views, delicious food, and sweet date nights that she is soaking up with her husband of over a decade. “So far, so bueno. Our 10-year anniversary trip is off to a great start,” she captioned her post.

Some more pictures and videos of their vacation were shared by Catherine on Sunday, May 5. She captioned her Instagram post, writing, “Are we even old enough to have been married 10 years?! Doesn’t feel like it. Happy anniversary celebration, mi amor.”

After watching all the cute pictures of Sean and Catherine Lowe, one Instagram user commented, “All these birthday/anniversary celebration posts made me watch your season. Again! You both don’t look old enough to be married 10 years. Was this a surprise bday/anniv gift?”

Catherine decided to reply to the fan and answer the last question about whether the vacation was Catherine’s birthday gift — she turned 38 on April 29, 2024 — or if it was their wedding anniversary gift.

She revealed that it was their anniversary gift from her husband. She also stated that Sean had surprised her with this trip on their actual wedding anniversary and had managed everything, including asking his parents to watch their children.

She wrote, “He surprised me with this trip ON our anniversary – securing the date with his parents to watch the kids and all that.” The same Instagram user then replied, “Good man. Good man. So you knew about his surprise before your movie theatre surprise.”

The Instagram user was referring to Catherine’s marriage anniversary surprise for her husband Sean. On January 27, 2024, a day after their 10th wedding anniversary, Catherine surprised her partner by renting out the whole movie theatre for a private showing of Oppenheimer.

Like Sean managed the whole vacation in Mexico, Catherine did the same, including asking their family member to take care of their three children. Catherine later posted the whole experience, where she mentioned that Sean had been wanting to see Oppenheimer.

“I was so excited to surprise this old man,” she captioned the video shared on Instagram. To conclude, Catherine and Sean have gone to some limits to make their 10th wedding anniversary a moment to remember for a lifetime.

Speaking of Sean and Catherine’s relationship, they first met on The Bachelor season 17 and engaged during the season finale in March 2013. On January 26, 2014, they shared their wedding vows in a live TV wedding at the Four Seasons Resort Biltmore.

Since getting married, they have continued to be together, and the arrival of their children has only strengthened their relationship. Their three kids are sons Samuel Thomas Lowe (b. July 2, 2016) and Isaiah Hendrix Lowe (b. May 18, 2018) and daughter Mia Mejia Lowe (b. December 23, 2019).

YouTuber Quen Blackwell Announces Tragic News of Her Brother Jairyn Blackwell's Death

Quen Blackwell, also known as Quenlin Blackwell, is taking some time off the internet to mourn the death of her beloved brother, Jairyn Blackwell.

On Thursday, May 2, 2024, the YouTube star took to her Instagram handle to share the tragic news of her brother’s death. She announced the unfortunate news via her story, keeping most of the details private.

She mentioned that her brother was killed, and she didn’t know how to tell this news to her fans and well-wishers or if she should have kept the entire news off the internet. But as she always expressed herself to her well-wishers, she decided to reveal her brother’s death.

As she continued her statement, she stated that she would be taking some time off the internet to mourn her brother’s death. Additionally, she clarified that anything that would be posted on her social media and YouTube channel had already been filmed before.

Quen wrote, “My brother got killed idk how to tell y’all this or if I should keep it off the internet, but I’ve always shared my life with you guys. So I just want to let y’all know. I’ll be off the internet for a second. Anything that’s posted is pre-filmed. Thank you for the condolences.”

As of this writing, it has been reported her brother, Jairyn, was shot. As per Cincinnati Enquirer, who got the details from Springfield Township police, Jairyn was shot on Thursday afternoon in the 2000 block of Springdale Road.

At approximately 1:35 p.m., police officials were informed of a person shot inside their vehicle. When officials arrived at the location, they found Jairyn, a 30-year-old Lincoln Heights native, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Jairyn was immediately taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was ultimately pronounced dead. It has been reported that the Springfield Township Police Department Criminal Investigations Section is currently investigating the incident.

As of this writing, no information regarding a suspect has been released. For now, this incident has been labeled a homicide, and the authorities are reportedly working to find the culprit.

Anyone with any information has been asked to call the Springfield Township Police Department at 513-729-1300 or Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040.

Returning to Quen, her well-wishers have expressed their condolences in her comment section and Reddit threads. For instance, one wrote, “Rest in peace!! Sending so much love and prayers to her and the rest of her family!!” Another wrote, “Hope he gets justice.”

Likewise, in a Reddit thread, one Redditor commented, “Wtf. I hope her and her family are able to heal from this and get justice. I didn’t even know she had any siblings. Her mental health wasn’t all too great, so I’m really wishing her the best through all this.”

As the Reddit user pointed out, Quen hadn’t talked about her now-late brother, Jairyn Blackwell. Besides, not many even knew she had a brother. So, it’s safe to say that the YouTuber wanted to maintain privacy around her family life.

As Quen and her family deal with the unfortunate passing of their family member, we must also respect their privacy and let them have a moment of peace. Glamour Buff family wishes only the best for the Blackwell family.
