Jenna Marbles Is Still Paying Attention To Her Fan Base
Although it's been some time since Jenna Marbles has appeared online on any of her personal accounts, it appears that she is still keeping tabs on the Dink Fam, a community of fans and friends that she helped to build alongside her fiancé Julien.
According to NBC News, Jenna and Julien sent a care package to Jessica Hiatt, a long-time fan of theirs who is battling terminal cancer.
Hiatt had been detailing her experience with cancer to her TikTok followers and posted a thank you to Jenna Marbles for her content.
In her video to Marbles, Hiatt shared how Jenna had "touched [her] life" and made her life better.
She also took the time to congratulate Jenna and Julien on their engagement and said "I'm very excited for you and Julien to get married and have a beautiful life together. I'm so grateful for all the love that you have shared over the years....Thank you very much for all the years you shared with us."
Comments on TikTok would show that the video made its way to Julien while he was streaming on Twitch thanks to the Dink Fam, which ultimately put them in contact with Hiatt and led to the care package making its way to her.
The care package consisted of pins, a signed picture, and a mug with messages written from both Jenna and Julien, among a few other things.
Jenna Still Takes Pictures With Fans
Although Jenna has deleted her Instagram and has been radio silent on all other platforms, the former YouTuber appears to still stop for pictures with fans when approached out in public.
Twitter user @saaltinthewound delighted and surprised fans of Jenna when she posted a picture of her, Jenna, and Julien on her account. This would be Jenna's first appearance on social media since she decided to leave YouTube behind.
The comments under her post exploded, with fans of both Jenna and Julien elated to see her in a public outing. Fans were quick to comment how much they miss Jenna online, and how thrilled they are to see that she appears to be healthy and doing well in her offline life.
Other fans were concerned about Jenna's privacy not being respected with the image being posted on Twitter, a thought Julien would quickly put at ease on his own page. He assured the Dink Fam that any time he and Jenna consent to taking a picture, they are giving their permission for it to be posted.
Jenna And Julien Are Still Involved In Greyhound Rescues
Long-time followers of Jenna know she has a love of dogs, owning four of her own, three of which are breeds of Greyhound. Pre-Julien, Jenna had Marbles, her Chihuahua, and Kermit, an Italian greyhound nick named Cermet or Nasty Boy. Once she and Julien got together they adopted Peach, another Italian greyhound, to add to their pack.
In 2019 Jenna and Julien would rescue Bunny, a Greyhound that was used as a blood donor for other track dogs. Jenna posted videos of her and Julien training Bunny and trying to get her to integrate with the other dogs before she went offline.
Julien continues to post videos of various greyhounds that they foster from time to time, and often shows them off during his Twitch streams. He announced that they chose to adopt another foster of theirs, Loni, during one of his streams.
Jenna quietly resurfaced at a greyhound rescue event that she and Julien had both attended. The event was run by the FOKK Networks and Grey Save, the rescue Jenna and Julien are actively known to work with.
The comments were filled with acknowledgment of Jenna appearing in photos of the event, with fans once again commenting how much they miss her online, and how happy they are to see her living her best life. Others went so far as to comment on how Jenna helped shaped them to be the person they are today.
Jenna Marbles may not be online anymore, but her legacy lives on through her fan base, the Dink Fam, and through Julien, who continues to stream and interact with fans almost daily.
