Professional Life
The ‘Ellie and Jared’ channel was initially begun by Ellie under the name ‘@stylebyellie’ on October 17, 2011. But was renamed Ellie & Jared shortly after, to document their struggles with infertility. He uploads vlogs on YouTube, often about his family, and he has another shared channel, together with his wife Ellie. Their focus has been on their struggle to start a family, due to Ellie suffering from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
Moreover, Jared appears as the volleyball coach of the University of North Carolina in the sketch “Best Volleyball Blocks Ever with Scott Sterling”. He also competed (and hosted) a “YouTubers vs. Studio C” challenge video which was to celebrate Studio C reaching one billion views, together with Mark Rober, among others.
When the couple started posting to YouTube they had an irregular schedule and only posted videos a few times a week. They then started doing daily videos and posted Monday-Sunday for over two years. Similarly, they later chose not to post videos on the weekends, meaning they would post vlogs on every weekday.
Both Ellie and Jared’s family appear frequently in their vlogs, as they both are very close to their families. Both Ellie and Jared have their own personal channels. Ellie’s channel focuses on beauty, pregnancy, cooking, and hauls, while Jared focuses on music and technology. Moreover, Jared is ‘TIME Magazine’s 2006 Person Of The Year’.
Struggles
They got fertility treatment to conceive their first son, Jackson Clark, who was born on January 9, 2014. When Jackson was nine months, the couple unexpectedly got pregnant again, this time, without any fertility treatment. The start of the pregnancy wasn’t as hoped, but in spite of that, Ellie gave birth to a second, healthy son, Calvin Scott, on May 23, 2015.
The couple got pregnant three times in 2017 but suffered miscarriages. They announced the fourth pregnancy in November 2017. All four pregnancies happened without fertility treatment. As a result of three previous miscarriages, both Ellie and Jared were nervous throughout the pregnancy, but Ellie gave birth to a healthy son, Tommy Joel, on June 20, 2018.
Break from YouTube
In a video posted on August 16, 2019, Ellie explained that they would only be posting videos three times a week on Tuesday, Wednesday/Thursday and Saturday, because their other schedule was causing their family a lot of stress.
In a video posted on January 4, 2020, titled Ellie And Jared Say Goodbye they announced that they were taking a break from blogging. Initially, the break would last for the month of January but they said they were unsure if they would return, at least not with regular uploads. They will still be active on social media and will continue to make their podcast.
Why is he special?
Jared, through his YouTube channel, shows the world that even if they think that everything is lost, it is not. Jared states, “We are living proof that dreams come true. Our channel is about our family including our miracle babies.” He and Ellie strive to make this world a lovely place to live in, a world that is filled with positivity and good vibes. In his official channel, he says, “We hope our enthusiasm for life and our positive energy is contagious.”
