Finding love isn’t easy—especially in a world where dating apps make connections feel more fleeting than ever. But sometimes, love finds you in the most unexpected places.
That’s exactly what happened to David, a Swedish YouTuber behind the channel Never Give Up. In 2018, he posted a deeply personal video titled “Being Ugly: My Experience,” opening up about his struggles with loneliness and self-doubt.
“Every video I come across is with a really attractive or ‘normal’ person,” he shared. “They have no idea how it really is.”
He spoke candidly about the rejection and isolation he had faced, listing the physical features he disliked about himself. His raw honesty struck a chord with viewers, and the video quickly went viral, racking up over 20 million views.
But amid thousands of comments, one stood out—and changed everything.
A user named Juli.Romina.M wrote, “I actually think you’re kinda cute tbh. I mean it.”
That single comment sparked something incredible. Juli later reached out to David on Discord, and what started as a casual conversation soon grew into a deep connection. Before long, she booked a flight to Sweden to meet him in person.
Within a year, they were married.
Juli returned to the original video to share the heartwarming news, reflecting: “Shortly after the wedding, I remembered the first comment I ever made to him on his channel. Little did I know that the guy who randomly popped up in my YouTube recommendations—the one I thought was cute—would become my husband.”
Now, the Never Give Up YouTube channel features a touching message in its bio: “I love my wonderful Juliana.”
Their love story has inspired thousands, with heartfelt comments flooding their videos.
“Man, this is the kind of wholesome content I live for. Beyond proud of this guy. This is one of my favorite YouTube story arcs,” one fan wrote.
Another added, “I can’t believe the ‘Being Ugly’ video was five years ago! It must be surreal to look back at that moment and see how far you’ve come. So happy for you, man.”
A third shared, “It’s amazing how your vulnerability led you to the love of your life. Thank you for being real with us—we’re all rooting for you!”
Someone else chimed in: “Dude, this is the best news! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness.”
David’s story is proof that love often comes when you least expect it—and sometimes, all it takes is one kind comment to change everything.
Wishing David and Juli a lifetime of happiness!
