YouTuber BFFs -- Whose Wives Are Both Pregnant -- Lose Homes To Palisades Fire

YouTuber BFFs -- Whose Wives Are Both Pregnant -- Lose Homes To Palisades Fire

Heartbreak has struck the YouTube community.

You may have heard the names Colin Rosenblum and Samir Chaudry over the past decade… They’re BFF YouTubers who run the channel Colin and Samir together, which features documentaries, interviews with your favorite creators, and more. Both their wives are pregnant, and on Friday, they revealed BOTH their homes burned down in the devastating LA fires.

In a post on their joint Instagram account, the influencers told followers:

“Hey everyone , Unfortunately both of our homes burned down in the Palisades Fire. The enormity of the loss is very overwhelming. Both of our wives are pregnant and our primary focus right now is getting back on stable ground. We’ll be pausing uploads for a bit while we figure out what’s next.”

That’s so, so awful. We can’t even begin to imagine how much more difficult and heartbreaking their displacement is with babies on the way… They continued:

“It’s a devastating situation for many people across LA right now and fires are continuing to burn. We’re feeling incredibly fortunate for all the support that we’re receiving.”

The YouTube sensations gave a specific shoutout to @DudePerfect for their “donation and creation of the GoFundMe” on their behalf, noting, “we are eternally grateful.”

The besties also gave a shoutout to all the firefighters and first responders putting in tireless effort to contain the fires:

“We’re grateful to the firefighters and first responders for continuing to fight the fire. To everyone who follows along with us, words don’t even begin to capture how much you mean to us.”

So, so sad. Colin and his wife Madilyn tied the knot last summer, while Samir and his wife Katie did in 2022.

Over on Samir’s personal IG, he went more in depth about the tragedy of his and wife’s situation is:

“Everyone got out safe. Katie and my house burned down. The whole town is gone. My parents, extended family, and brother all lived in the palisades. It was the only home we know … Katie is 37 weeks pregnant, and I’m fully focused on my family right now. To everyone who has reached out, thank you for your patience, I’m not sure when I’ll be able to reply”

Wow, 37 weeks… No expecting mother should ever have to go through something like this.

Our hearts are broken for Colin and Samir and their loved ones. You can visit their GoFundMe HERE.
