The duo met for the first time during one of Caspar’s fan meet and greets, which Ambar attended as a viewer of his Youtube channel.
But it was later they embarked on a relationship, when the internet star private messaged Ambar via Instagram – unaware that they had met prior.
Caspar rose to fame after beginning his Youtube channel in 2011 and becoming a staple amongst the UK audience – alongside channels such as Zoella (Zoe Sugg), PointlessBlog (Alfie Deyes) and ThatcherJoe (Joe Sugg).
He and Joe even took the screen with a BBC film in 2015, before Caspar moved his focus to being an investor and serial entrepreneur, even making the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2020 for his work in media and advertising.
