TikTok’s Fairy Tale Gay ‘It’ Couple Work Bob the Drag Queen’s Last Nerve

TikTok phenoms, Nick Champa and Pierre Amaury Crespeau, who have been dating since they met and fell in love at an audition in L.A.in 2017, syrupy puppy love led to Bob the Drag Queen blocking them on the platform.

Five years later, Crespeau, 31, and Champa, 26, have amassed a massive social media following, with a combined 23 million followers on TikTok and nearly 2 million on Instagram. Their growing fanbase, they said, is largely composed of teens and their moms.

“I have to block these two. They’re not doing anything wrong, but I have to block them,” Bob said in the video he stitched and broadcast to his 2,4 million fans.

NBC News: The couple responded to critics with a video titled “We are not perfect” on their YouTube channel, which boasts over 1 million subscribers. In the video, which was viewed more than 250,000 times, Crespeau revealed that Bob the Drag Queen’s remark — and the commenters that piled on to critique the couple for projecting “perfection” — “depressed” him. He said in the video that he and Champa do have “arguments” and sometimes there is “yelling,” but, he added, “at the end of the day, we’re together, and we have moments that are happy.”

According to Champa, the couple is not going to stop “pumping out happy content” anytime soon.

“That’s genuinely what we are most of the time and what we like to put out there,” he told NBC News. “Also, we never felt like we had a good representation of a happy, healthy queer couple. When I was growing up, it constantly was stories being told of suffering and pain — that we had to go through this negative journey through life. I was like, ‘I’m sick of that. That’s not helpful for me. I don’t want to put that out there. I want to portray happiness.’”

As for Crespeau, he said he once again believes in the possibility of a “fairy-tale relationship,” and he hopes the positive content he and Champa share with their fans will inspire them to believe in this, too.
