Ovard started vlogging about her life on YouTube when she was still in high school, and Ferris got involved when they started a channel together.

Ovard first started posting on both of her YouTube channels when she was in high school, mostly sharing vlog content and makeup and beauty tips. She also included Ferris in her videos from the start, posting boyfriend tags and humorous videos like him doing her makeup.

One of her accounts now has 2 million subscribers, which she converted to a joint account for her and Ferris before returning it to just her name in March 2024. Her other account, which she stopped posting on in March 2022, has over 3 million subscribers.

Ferris has often supported Ovard in her social media career, from editing her videos to helping her create content for YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. Additionally, he helped Ovard run her clothing brand Luca + Grae before it was put on indefinite hiatus.

Ovard also spoke about how Ferris helped take care of their daughters – who she has tried to keep private in recent years – so she could have time to film. Ferris often joined Ovard in videos on their previous joint channel, vlogging about their daily lives.

Although they went to the same elementary school in fourth grade, Ovard and Ferris said in a YouTube video detailing how they met that they didn’t know each other — and only connected in middle school.

The first time they got together was at a party at Ovard’s neighbor’s house. While they had mutual friends, Ovard and Ferris went to different high schools, but by the end of their sophomore year, their friend groups had merged and they continued to hang out.

During that summer, they hung out almost every day and by the time their freshman year came around, they both knew that each other felt something, but Ovard didn’t want a relationship.

“We were a thing, but we weren’t exclusive at all, but Parker just really wanted me and I just knew,” she said. “I would just keep him around, which is sad and not nice, so if you’re in high school, don’t do that to someone, except sometimes it works out and you get married.”

They got married when they were 19 and 20 years old

After getting engaged in August 2015, Ovard and Ferris tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Utah on October 23, 2015. Ovard was 19 at the time and Ferris was 20.

“I have a wife! She has a husband!” Ferris said in a video about the special day: “I’m sure it will hit me a little later when we actually get together, living together, a normal married life.”

The couple added that they didn’t expect each other to get so emotional, but when Ferris saw Ovard walk down the aisle, he broke down in tears.

“I didn’t know if he was going to cry because he saw me in my dress yesterday, but he did,” she said. “And then I tried very hard not to cry.”

They built several homes together

In 2022, Ovard and Ferris began building their fourth home together, but this time they customized it with their own floor plan and wood colors. Ovard has released updates on the process of building a house in 2022, from choosing bathroom tiles to paint colors.

The house was eventually finished in January 2023, but by that June they had sold their new home, deciding they weren’t sure if they wanted to stay in Utah and commit to the property.

“It’s been over three years since we decided to build…so I feel like we 24-year-olds made that decision that 27-year-olds like we’re not sure if this is what we want to do,” she said in the video. explaining why they sold the house. “I’m so glad we had the extra time to think about it because it gave us a chance to decide that this isn’t what’s going to be the best thing for our family right now.”

Ovard explained that they began to have more interest in moving to California and spending time there, which they would not have been able to do if they had moved to a home in Utah.

They share three children

Ovard and Ferris welcomed their first daughter, Cove, on August 17, 2019. Two years later, their second daughter, Lola, joined the family in October. Ovard has been open about her struggles adjusting to life as a mother of two when she first welcomed Lola, sharing her sleep schedule and milestones on her YouTube channel.

In a January 2024 video, Ovard explained that she missed having a babysitter because it was difficult to balance work with her two young daughters as they were running in and out of her room during the day.

“These days I just want to get all my stuff done and not have to go from mom mode to mom mode, it just makes it a little harder,” she said in the vlog. “I’m just beside myself.”

Ovard announced she is expecting her third daughter with Ferris in October 2023. The baby, whose name the couple has yet to reveal, was born early at 34 weeks, which left Ovard “in shock,” she said in a TikTok video.

“My brain just isn’t processing what’s going on,” she said, adding, “She’s in intensive care right now, she’s doing really well, but she’s very early so she’ll be there for a minute.”

Ovard was released from the hospital shortly after giving birth, and in one video she documented herself cleaning her house because she “didn’t know what else to do” while her daughter was in intensive care.

On April 1, 2024, PEOPLE obtained documents revealing that Ovard filed for divorce from her husband. However, Ferris is still wearing his wedding ring.

Fans speculated that there might be a rift between the couple as he rarely appeared in their vlogs anymore and Ovard changed the name of their joint YouTube channel to just her name.

The couple has yet to publicly announce their split, and on April 17, Ovard and Ferris put their divorce proceedings on hold to focus on settlement negotiations.
