Is Jerika back together? Jake Paul’s date with Erika Costell sparks relationship rumors
Jake Paul YouTube / Erika Costell InstagramJake Paul and Erika Costell have been seen mingling together in a few different clips, making some believe that the ‘Jerika’ YouTube couple could get back together again soon.
Jake Paul and Costell were one of YouTube’s biggest celeb pairings in 2017. Social media would light up soon after every upload, which was especially true when they released a music video collab called ‘JERIKA.’
Paul went public with their split later in November 2018, not long after a Shane Dawson documentary about the embattled YouTuber released. Around December of that year, Jake said he had plans to salvage the relationship.
But in 2021, there’s been indications that the two social media stars could find a way back to each other after Paul’s been “unblocked,” as he puts it.

While it isn’t clear that they’re dating again, Paul was fine fanning the flames of speculation titling his video “I Took Erika On A Date (Jerika Reunites).”
In a March 3 upload, Paul gave a look at his and Erika’s 2021 kayaking trip which showed the two closely apart. While the footage cut doesn’t show the two interact much at all, this comes on the heels of more sightings with the two together.
On February 28, Jake tweeted a video of him and Erika riding in the backseat of a car when they got a bit playful with each other.
It’s been four years since the height of their relationship sent two big YouTube fandoms aflame, and their latest trip together has been lighting up the comments section for a possible new relationship.

“I’m almost 18, but ngl 14 year old me is LIVINGGG for this,” on YouTube commenter said.
“It’s actually nostalgic to see them together, back then remembering the good old times 3-4 years ago when YouTube was awesome and life was good. Makes me feel sad to what we have come to now but I feel good watching old stuff and being nostalgic. Hoping best for the future,” another said.
In his YouTube video, Jake joked about being “single for life,” but it’s clear that many are hoping Erika and him will give it another shot.
