[jwplayer A1FBSjyO] Lexi Rivera is known in association with her brother Brent who is one of TikTok\u2019s biggest creators with 35 million followers, while Lexi herself has more than 14 million followers on the app. The siblings also have a combined 19.5 million subscribers on YouTube. Ben Azelart is also heavily associated with the siblings and has himself built up a huge following of 11 million followers on TikTok. But fans were devastated to find out this week that the duo were no longer a couple. Lexi and Ben posted a video explaining why, saying that they thought they owed their fans the truth. Lexi said: \u201cI have so much respect for Ben and he\u2019s like literally one of the best people I\u2019ve ever met in my entire life.\u201d Ben responded, \u201cI mean the same goes for me, Lexi is one of the nicest, sweetest, funniest people I\u2019ve ever met.\u201d Addressing their viewers, Lexi explained why it took so long for them to officially break the news: \u201cI know that it\u2019s been super confusing for you guys and that is because it\u2019s been just as confusing for us we\u2019ve been very just on and off again and I don\u2019t think we were really sure what we wanted to do until now. \u201cHaving a relationship is one thing, but having a relationship online is a completely different story and it was very confusing for us. Honestly, it wasn\u2019t easy being young like we were 15 and 16. Lexi went on to say that the relationship no longer made them both happy. \u201cWe both had so much fun doing it, but I think as years went on it just became a little too complicated\u2026I think what was hard is we want to make you guys happy as well as make ourselves happy. \u201cUltimately we just didn\u2019t do both and I think what\u2019s most important was focusing on ourselves for now.\u201d Lexi and Ben finished by saying that they\u2019re not parting ways forever and that they both felt it was just the wrong time to be together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TikTokers Lexi Rivera and Ben Azelart explain why they broke up YouTube: Alexa RiveraInternet personalities Lexi Rivera and Ben Azelart have explained why they broke up after three years together, in an emotional video posted to YouTube.
