Social Media Stars Nicky Champa and Pierre Amaury Crespeau Split
Social media influencers Nicky Champa and Pierre Amaury Crespeau have ended their relationship, just less than a year after their August 2022 wedding.
The couple, who had been a pair since 2017, made the mutual decision to split after being together for almost six and a half years.
Nicky and Pierre: The Pressures of Being a Social Media Couple
“With social media, it’s a bit complicated. Our relationship became a brand,” Champa, 27, told Out in an exclusive interview. “I want to say I have nothing but love and respect for this person. I spent my entire twenties with this person. I grew up with this person. He’s a very special person and will always remain that way for me.”
Citing the nine-year age difference with 36-year-old Crespeau and the pressures of their high-profile social media presence, Champa noted these were contributing factors to their breakup.
Life in the Public Eye: Nicky and Pierre
“I think as you age, you kind of realize different things,” he explained. “Then on top of it, 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.”
Personal Growth and the Decision to Split
“It was almost like I felt trapped within an ideology of what we’ve become,” Champa added. “I can only speak for myself. I lost myself in this relationship, incredibly. I sacrificed a lot for this relationship. I dedicated myself to this relationship and the brand that we were building. I think that at this stage in my life, I had to choose me and pick me first. And I think [Pierre] had to do the same, and that’s the direction we’re heading in.”
Earlier today, Crespeau confirmed the split on his Instagram Stories, simply writing “We broke up.”
The TikTok Couple: Gaining Popularity and Followers
Best known for their individual TikTok channels, boasting 13.3 million followers for Champa and 13.7 million followers for Crespeau at the time of writing, they gained popularity by sharing their day-to-day experiences and travels as a gay couple. They also have a shared YouTube account with nearly 2.5 million subscribers.
New Beginnings: Career Focus Post-Breakup
In the wake of their split, the duo will no longer collaborate on content creation, with both influencers refocusing on different stages of their careers.
“I will be continuing my own process,” Champa said. “I recently started working with CAA (Creative Artists Agency) and I want to focus more on acting and modeling. So that’s my pursuit and also social media on top of it.
Finding His Own Voice: Champa’s Future Goals
“I think my biggest goal is to find my voice,” Champa stated. “I think that for a long time I was kind of shadowed by the brand that we created and I didn’t have the platform or space to be myself. That’s what my focus will be going forward.”

The much-anticipated Red, White & Royal Blue Trailer has finally made its magnificent debut. PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly have exclusively premiered the first glimpse of this upcoming Prime Video rom-com, adapted from Casey McQuiston’s bestselling 2019 novel.
The Story Behind the Red, White & Royal Blue Trailer
The captivating tale revolves around the persistent feud—and eventual romance—between Alex Claremont-Diaz, portrayed by Taylor Zakhar Perez, and the UK’s fictional Prince Henry, played by Nicholas Galitzine. Supporting these central characters is Uma Thurman, starring as the US President, Ellen Claremont.
Alex and Prince Henry maintain a “total disdain for each other,” culminating in a “disastrous—and very public—altercation at a royal event,” posing a threat to the international relations between the two nations “at the worst possible time,” as per the film’s synopsis.
Their families and handlers, seeking to mitigate the damage, thrust the two adversaries into a contrived ‘truce.’ However, Alex and Henry’s frosty relationship surprisingly starts melting into a tentative friendship, sparking an unforeseen depth of feelings.

Bringing the Prince Henry and Alex to Life
Perez, 31, describes the film to PEOPLE as “a classic fairy tale with a twist for all generations,” with the hope that viewers derive “joy” after watching it. His character Alex is “driven by ambition and strives for success in everything he does,” he shares. Alex is “willing to stand up for what he believes in and is fiercely loyal to his family and friends. He’s also incredibly stubborn, impulsive and impatient.”
Discussing how he and Galitzine, 28, developed the onscreen chemistry, Perez attributes it to trust and vulnerability. He adds, “We were lucky to have rehearsals and many meals together before we began our first day of filming. We both knew we had a lot on our shoulders, given the success of the book, and that was a big motivation for us to be locked in at all times.”
Bringing the Red, White & Royal Blue to the Big Screen
The film, written and directed by Tony Award-winning playwright Matthew López in his directorial debut, also boasts author McQuiston, 32, as an executive producer. Ted Malawer contributed as a co-writer.
López, 46, commends Perez and Galitzine, saying, “They each embody their characters so perfectly while also working effortlessly as a team.” He praises Nick for bringing “a tremendous amount of vulnerability and dignity to Henry,” and lauds Taylor for turning “himself into a human cannonball in order to bring Alex to life.”
Beyond Perez, Galitzine, and Thurman, the cast of Red, White & Royal Blue includes Clifton Collins Jr., Sarah Shahi, Rachel Hilson, Stephen Fry, Ellie Bamber, Thomas Flynn, Malcolm Atobrah, Akshay Khanna, Sharon D Clarke, Aneesh Sheth, and Juan Castano.
Shahi, 43, describes her decision to join the film as a “no-brainer,” confessing that she “fell in love with” the screenplay. She plays Zahra, President Claremont’s deputy chief of staff and right-hand woman. “I was floored by the dialogue,” she expresses, “It didn’t matter that it was a gay love story—it was a bottomless well of relatability.”
The Red, White & Royal Blue starts streaming on Prime Video from August 11.
