She Was a South Sudanese Model, He a Blonde Aussie Filmmaker — Their Love Captivated Millions Before Quietly Falling Apart

Advertisements

Jamie Perkins and Nikki Thot were once one of the internet’s most adored couples. Their interracial love story—he, a blue-eyed Australian creative, and she, a stunning dark-skinned model from South Sudan—captured hearts across the globe. The two met on MySpace in 2009, quickly fell in love, and tied the knot within a year.

Together, they built a life and a family, welcoming two beautiful daughters, Ava and Zoe. Their YouTube channel exploded in popularity, with fans drawn to their chemistry, heartfelt wedding videos, and their joyful life as a modern, multicultural family.

But behind the scenes, life wasn’t always as picture-perfect as it looked online.

Nikki, raised in a conservative household after immigrating to Australia, faced cultural pressure and judgment for her public lifestyle choices. Meanwhile, their daughters were growing up in front of a camera—far from the quiet upbringing Nikki once knew.

As their fame grew, so did the scrutiny. Nikki received hateful comments for being in an interracial marriage, while Jamie faced assumptions and stereotypes as a white father raising biracial children. The same platform that built them up also started to weigh them down.

By 2023, Jamie confirmed their split—though they had actually separated years earlier in 2019. He later opened up about the emotional toll, mental health struggles, and feelings of betrayal that came with the breakup. Nikki, choosing to keep their daughters’ lives private, denied the claims and stayed largely silent on the details.

Today, Jamie and Nikki live separate lives, but remain dedicated co-parents. Their viral romance may be over, but their story continues—now rooted in resilience, growth, and raising two little girls with love and stability away from the spotlight.
