David Dobrik and Liza Koshy started dating in 2015 and built a combined audience of more than 20 million Youtube followers. According to the ex-couple, they had to break up, not because either of them did anything wrong, but because the pressures of their YouTube careers then took off from each other. In the video, which lasted six minutes, David revealed their relationship was becoming unhealthy for both of them and they had to end it for now. He added that he’d felt the distance but didn’t have the audacity to break off the relationship, so Liza finally pulled the trigger.
They announce their breakup in the video, revealing that they broke up six months ago, but according to Liza, they didn’t want to tell anyone because they were just so angry about it that they distanced themselves from the start.
However, the duo made it clear that they are still best friends and their split is amicable.
