YouTuber who went viral for being “ugly” returns with incredible life update

A YouTuber recently gained attention for saying he felt too unattractive to find a relationship, and he’s now shared another update about his life online.

In 2018, Swedish YouTuber David Martinsson shared a personal video titled ‘Being Ugly: My Experience’. The 24-minute video has since been viewed nearly 30 million times, and in it, Martinsson talked about his struggles with relationships, believing his appearance made it impossible for him to find love.

Martinsson shared that he’s struggled with feeling unattractive his whole life, leading to feelings of loneliness and a desire to connect with others online who understand what he’s going through.

The video became very popular, and many people online rallied around Martinsson, hoping he’d find love and offering their support. He’s since found someone special and even started a family!

“Ugly” YouTuber returns to internet in TikTok clip

Juli Martinsson, his partner, occasionally shares updates about their relationship on TikTok, most recently posting one on February 22nd.

Juli joked about going overboard with flirting and now finding herself pushing a stroller through the snowy Swedish winter. Despite the unexpected turn of events, she added that she wouldn’t change a thing.

She hadn’t shared a photo of him since 2024, so her fans were excited to see him again in her latest post.

One person playfully called him “the man, the myth, the legend,” referring to David Martinsson. Another commenter was shocked to learn he now has a child.

People online expressed a lot of joy, with one viewer saying they’d loved a particular meme since they were a child – they’re turning 20 in November. Another commenter called it the greatest love story ever told.

Okay, so this is kinda cute – I found out how these two actually met! Back in 2023, she straight-up commented on his YouTube video saying she thought he was kinda cute, like, for real. That comment is still pinned to the top, and everyone goes back to look at it, especially now that they got married in 2024. It’s just a sweet little origin story, honestly.
