Marzia Bisognin and PewDiePie – whose real name is Felix Kjellberg – met in 2011 in a rather unexpected way. Marzia’s best friend told her to “check out this silly guy playing video games.” The “silly guy” in question was PewDiePie. Future Mrs. Kjellberg was drawn to the humor of the “silly guy,” so she decided to reach out to him via email. Marzia was living in Italy and Felix was in Sweden before the couple started dating. According to the Mirror, PewDiePie flew to Italy multiple times to meet Marzia within 12 weeks. And since their romance began, Marzia has given up her studies to move to Sweden – Felix’s homeland.
Marzia Felt Overwhelmed by PewDiePie’s Fame
Loving a celebrity can be very exciting, but it’s not easy at all. As PewDiePie’s fame grew, Marzia took some time to get used to it. “I’m really happy for Felix, but I feel confused. I don’t like how much attention people pay to us.”
Marzia started her own YouTube channel right after Felix launched on the video-sharing platform. However, she said that becoming a social media star made her feel isolated.
In October 2018, Mrs. Kjellberg posted a video titled “Goodbye YouTube,” explaining to fans why she was quitting her career as a vlogger. “I’ve never struggled this much,” she said in the vlog. “I feel like I’m separated from the world. I’m not seeking any friendships and only find comfort in my little bubble on YouTube.”
After the announcement, Marzia decided to remove most of her videos from YouTube because she needed “a clear head.” Hundreds of fans expressed their support in the comments.
PewDiePie Proposed to Marzia on a Trip to Japan
According to Metro, PewDiePie proposed during a trip to Japan. Marzia showed off the stunning ring, featuring a gigantic diamond, on Instagram. What else would you expect from one of the highest-paid YouTubers? Isn’t it the sweetest moment?
The Sun estimates that Marzia’s engagement ring is worth between £75,000 and £100,000, which is approximately $91,000 to $122,000. Wow, this ring is more than the average part-time annual salary in the UK! Daily Mail asked Gatsby Jewellery about the ring’s value, and the company nearly confirmed it.
In March 2019, PewDiePie published a YouTube video titled “Q&A with my Future Wife,” where Marzia commented on the engagement. In the video, when asked by the audience about the wedding venue, Marzia said she wanted to keep it a secret. She also mentioned that the couple planned to have an intimate wedding with just a few YouTuber guests.
PewDiePie Pretended That Marzia Called Off the Wedding to Troll Fans
A year before their wedding, PewDiePie released a shocking video on YouTube titled “Why the Wedding Was Canceled.” Fortunately, this vlog did not deliver a sad announcement to fans. Instead, it showed the couple playing the cooking game Overcooked 2 together. No doubt, fans breathed a sigh of relief.
“I always thought you were a jokester, but this time you exceeded my expectations,” one fan commented. Another wrote: “I have never been happier to get clickbaited.”
PewDiePie’s Romantic Heart
You would never guess how romantic PewDiePie is. As reported by Metro, Felix always pampers Marzia and surprised his partner with a sweet gift on their first Valentine’s Day as a couple. The YouTuber brought breakfast in bed and gifted her a Tiffany & Co. ring along with a sweet love letter.
Before Felix became an internet sensation, his romantic gestures for Marzia were less costly but still very sweet. A subreddit dedicated to the YouTuber, r/PewdiepieSubmissions, shared a video of young PewDiePie singing a romantic song for his girlfriend. No wonder Marzia was “smitten” by this guy.
And one thing is for sure, Marzia truly appreciates PewDiePie’s romance. In August 2019, when she shared photos of their wedding on Instagram, she wrote, “I feel like the luckiest person filled with love.” On another post related to their wedding, a fan commented, “I’m proud of how you both have maintained your relationship to this day, and I always wish you both happiness and health.”
