The pair shared in an emotional video that they’ve split and some fans can’t cope.
YouTuber Joey Graceffa and his now ex-boyfriend, Daniel Preda have announced that they’ve officially split after being together for six years.
In an incredibly emotional and revealing 14-minute video, which they called “We broke up” the pair discuss their break up, revealing that they actually broke up 3 months ago saying that neither of them had been happy for a while and that the lack of distractions had forced them to make some tough decisions about their relationship.
Daniel admitted that they had been living apart and now had his own home and said the dismantling of six years together was extremely hard.
The couple assured their fans that they had nothing but “love and admiration” for each other. “We want to stay in each other’s lives and be friends past this,” Joey added.
Their fans were quick to console the couple, with many expressing how 2020 couldn’t get any worse.
One user commented, “Me: 2020 can’t get any worse 2020: hold my virus, Parallel universe, hornets, more racism, world war 3” while another added, “2020: Kobe Died 2020: COVID-19 2020: Delays 2020: Hornets 2020: Racism 2020: THIS”

There was a point where Tiger King star Joe Exotic was running for the presidency in the US… Now people have been wondering what that might have looked like if he had actually won.
In 2016 Joe ran a presidential campaign as an independent candidate in Colorado and received 962 votes.
So taking to his official Twitter account, his husband, Dillon asked Joe’s fans, what they thought Joe’s first act as president would have been… the answers were hilarious.
During the Netflix documentary series, Tiger King, the feud between Carole Baskin and Joe Exotic was a central theme and Joe’s dislike for the big-cat rights activist was pretty intense.
However, people did have other suggestions for a Joe Exotic presidency, one person suggested that the White House lawns could be turned in an animal enclosure, while another suggested that the “USA would never financially recover from it”.

Lockdown has generated a lot of negative tweets. About people, governments and society in general.
A recent study of over 100 celebrities who run and maintain their own Twitter accounts has found that two of our favourite gay icons top the lists of positive and negative tweeters.
While Kylie sits on top of the positive list, with 89.7 per cent of her tweets skewing positive, Cher (gawd love her) is number 3 on the negative list, with only 51.3 per cent of her tweets skewing positively, she follows Nigel Farage and Piers Morgan.
Nigel Farage and Piers Morgan were the most negative celebrity tweeters during lockdown.
Meanwhile, Nigel Farage tops the polls for the most negative tweeter under lockdown, joined by Piers Morgan and Cher.
The research was conducted by digital agency Evoluted, who took the 200 most famous personalities in the UK (according to YouGov) and filtered the list down to 131 who are active on Twitter and clearly run their accounts personally.
The agency then collected their tweets, quoted tweets and retweets that had been posted since March this year in order to evaluate the content that the person was putting out to all of their followers.
Evoluted then used the bing lexicon method to attribute positive or negative meaning to the words used across all tweets, in order to analyse which tweeters were more positive than others.
A positivity percentage was then assigned to each account – this was created by taking the ratio of positive words used on their timeline by the total number of negative and positive words.
James Stone, Content Specialist at Evoluted, said, “We aim to be as thorough and accurate as possible within our research and our team really enjoyed carrying out this study.
“It’s extremely interesting to see which celebrities are using their platforms to display positivity and which ones heavily feature negativity.”
Research also ranked the jobs of the most positive celebrities, revealing that sports personalities, musicians, TV personalities, actors and public figures made up the top five.
