The YouTuber decided to react to his Instagram timeline which chronicled his entire career over the last 10 years. Pewds gushed when he realized his first photo ever was him sharing a kiss with Marzia. “I’m glad this is my first photo. That’s very cute,” he said.
When Kjellberg reached the year 2012, he opened up about how difficult it was for him and Marzia to be apart from one another. “Me and Marzia had to go back to being long distance for a little while. This was the time I was really anxious,” he continued.
The 31-year-old then revealed how wanting to be back with her fueled him to succeed. “Because we came from two different countries, and I didn’t have the money to really come and visit, I was really hoping YouTube would work out so I could see my girlfriend… Or my future wife,” he laughed.
