TikTok stars Nicky Champa and Pierre Boo decided to go their separate ways just days shy of their first wedding anniversary. The influencers were married in August 2022, but had been together since 2017.

"With social media, it's a bit complicated. Our relationship became a brand," Champa told Out on July 9 in an exclusive statement. "The social media aspect of it and people constantly comparing ourselves to each other and the pressure of maintaining this image. It almost became, I would tell people, like a Black Mirror episode."
