The internet was set ablaze after YouTuber Nick Yardy, 29, claimed both his 22-year-old girlfriend, Jade, and her 44-year-old mother, Dani, were pregnant with his children. The viral announcement shocked his 3.4 million followers—but now Yardy has admitted the pregnancies were a skit. “There are no babies,” he told the Daily Mail. “It’s just entertainment.”

Still, Yardy insists the unconventional three-way relationship is real. The Jamaica-born influencer, whose real name is Nicholas Hunter, has lived with the mother-daughter duo for nearly two years. Both Jade and Dani create content for social media and OnlyFans, while Yardy has built a brand on comedy skits and provocative content.

In the now-debunked video titled We’re Pregnant, the women wore matching maternity dresses and claimed to be expecting just weeks apart. Though many were outraged, others were simply bewildered.

Yardy says he met Jade during a shoot, and after hitting a rough patch, they turned to her mother for advice—only for Dani to eventually join their relationship. While the pregnancies were fake, Yardy says their poly lifestyle is not. “We sleep in the same bed,” he said, “but we keep things separate.”
