'I'm in a throuple with a mother and her daughter but that isn't what shocks people'

In February this year, YouTuber Nick Yardy, whose real name is Nicholas Hunter,made waves with a seemingly unbelievable announcement.

The 29-year-old internet sensation took to his social media platforms to announce what’s usually considered to be the best news in a person’s life. The public’s reaction? Utter disgust. So, what was the announcement which made people’s toes curl, as droves of social mediausers took to the internet to make note of their out-and-out repulsion? Nick announced he was going to become a father. To two children. At the same time. With a 22-year-old content creator. And her mother.

You read that right. The YouTuber revealed to millions of his fans that he had impregnated 22-year-old OnlyFans model Jade, as well as her 44-year-old mother Dani. The reaction to his news was as you’d expect. Curiosity and disgust. Famous for his antics on social media, this announcement was a little too much even for his die-hard fans to swallow.

Scores of ‘you’ve got to be kidding me’ and ‘oh my god this is disgusting’ comments infiltrated Nick’s social media and in true Nick Yardy fashion, the YouTuber doubled down and shared a gender reveal video on March 8 the following month. At the ‘gender reveal party’, which was seemingly attended by Nick, Jade, and Dani’s family and friends, the ‘throuple’ (three-person couple) announced that they were having a girl and a boy.

The news spread like wildfire with media outlets picking up the outrageous story. And then Nick did the most shocking thing of all - he told the truth. In a tell-all interview with the Daily Mail, the YouTuber confessed: “There are no babies. It's just, like, a skit. It's not actually real.”

He added: “People that follow me, they're just looking for entertainment and I don't think they really [believe it].” Although he revealed the larger farce, Nick remains adamant about one thing - his relationship with Jade and her mother Dani is real.

The content creator, who has 3.54 million subscribers on YouTube and a following of 2.4 million and 1.2 million on Instagram and TikTok respectively, frequently uploads different skits starring women on his socials. However, the South Floridian claims he’s been in a relationship with his live-in lovers, Jade and Dani, for nearly two years.

Nick told the publication: “They are actually mother and daughter, and our involvement with each other is real. It's just they're not actually pregnant. At least not yet.” Jade is an OnlyFans model and content creator as well, having racked up a sizeable following on social media over the years. Her ‘mother’ Dani, is apparently a life coach and content creator. Both women have declined to reveal their surnames but continue to repost pictures of their alleged ‘pregnancies’ on social media — even though it’s been months since Nick revealed the truth.
