Scotty Sire and Kristen McAtee reveal reasons behind emotional breakup YouTube: Scotty SireLong-term YouTube power couple Scotty Sire and Kristen McAtee have decided to call time on their five-year relationship, and explained why the \u201cdifficult\u201d decision was the \u201cright choice\u201d in an emotional video to their fans. Scotty and Kristen, both of whom boast huge YouTube fanbases after years on the platform, first met in 2015. They soon started dating, and spent the next half-decade producing plenty of videos and content together, and separately. While things appeared to be the same as ever in their regular YouTube videos, to the extent the split has blindsided many of the pairs\u2019 loyal followers, McAtee and Sire admitted there was \u201cplenty their fans hadn\u2019t seen\u201d behind-the-scenes. Scott and Kirsten \u201cdrifted apart\u201d after five years According to the pair, who laid out the separation in a six-minute video on February 6, things may have appeared perfect, but differences in where each wanted to go in their lives, as well as \u201ca series of discussions\u201d led to the final decision. \u201cYou guys see us on the internet, having fun and having a good time, but you don\u2019t see the arguments or the conversations we have off-camera because no one is going to film that. We drifted apart, it\u2019s that simple,\u201d Scotty said. \u201cI feel like we were in our relationship because it was comfortable, and obviously we love each other and\u2026 care about each other. We both agree that this is the right decision for us, it\u2019s difficult, but we know it\u2019s the right thing.\u201d \u201cLike a Black Mirror episode\u201d McAtee, who had struggled to hold back tears at the start of the video, agreed with her now ex-boyfriend, adding that partners who stay together for as long as they had sometimes \u201cdrift apart\u201d for a host of different reasons. \u201cThe relationship was fine, but we just got to a point where, like you were saying, we\u2019ve been together for so long, and it was comfortable, and I think it just got to a point where we grew apart, we weren\u2019t together anymore,\u201d she explained. \u201cSo, that\u2019s the end of our relationship, and thank you for watching,\u201d she added, then caught herself. \u201cThat\u2019s so f**king dark, that\u2019s like a Black Mirror episode right there.\u201d McAtee asks fans not to take sides While the two could have kept their split under the radar, both Sire and McAtee admitted it was \u201conly fair\u201d they update their fans open and honestly, especially considering they had \u201cbecome known as \u2018Scott and Kristen\u2019 on the internet.\u201d \u201cFor the past week and a half or so, I haven\u2019t wanted to post from my house, because people would still be thinking we were together, and we had tweets and fans asking us if we were broken up, so we knew that we had to tell you,\u201d he said. Finally, McAtee asked fans to avoid \u201cchoosing sides\u201d in the fallout of the relationship coming to a close. Because the two were still friends, and had mutually decided it was time to call it quits, the YouTube stars hoped there would be \u201cno bad blood.\u201d \u201cThere\u2019s no reason to [take sides]. Nothing bad happened, I mean it from the bottom of my heart, I will have the craziest respect for [Scott] forever, he was my support system for five years. There\u2019s no negativity, it\u2019s not a side thing,\u201d she said. Because the two have broken up, they confirmed they may be taking some time away from video creation to sort things out, but added they would be back for the fans soon enough \u2013 potentially even still in each other\u2019s videos. Scotty and Kristen aren\u2019t the only high-profile relationship to have come to a close recently, though they have been far less on-again, off-again than Turner \u2018Tfue\u2018 Tenney and his partner Corinna Kopf, who called time again last week. Tfue admitted he would \u201cnever\u201d be getting into a relationship again after things didn\u2019t work out for a second time with Corinna, though third time may be the charm for the Twitch star as their rocky relationship saga continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
