I know it’s cliche but I never liked the typical interests as everyone else around me,” he told the outlet. “As I got older I wanted that attention that I never got through friends, so I started making online videos being myself. I moved out to LA to be around people that wanted the same thing as me and everything changed.”

Despite their split, the two remain on good terms and still often hang out and collaborate together. During an interview with J-14 from February 2024, Tara spoke about how the decision to remain friends with her ex is “as easy as it can be.”
“Obviously we’re real people that really did break up with, it’s not this fake scenario. I wish it was, that’d be much easier, but at the same time, it comes so easy because we are actually just friends in real life,” she said of Jake. “We are just friends in real life and obviously Johnnie’s best friends with Jake, so that makes me really close with him as well because we’re such good friends. I think that’s why it works out and that’s why people like it so much because it translates onscreen genuinely. Has it been hard? I mean, it hasn’t been the easiest thing in the world, but at the same time, it’s so fun and comes so natural that I’m like, why not? I’m glad people like it.”
