Jamie Perkins, an Australian videographer and musician, met his wife Nikki, a Sudanese-born model, online.

The couple, known for their stunning interracial relationship, gained fame through their YouTube channel, where they shared their lives, travels, parenting, and cultural challenges.

After their marriage ended in 2019, they continued co-parenting their daughters, Ava and Zoe, but Jamie later revealed painful details in a YouTube video. He accused Nikki of infidelity, abuse, and trying to destroy his career. Jamie described living in fear and survival mode during their marriage and said Nikki spread lies about him, isolating him from loved ones. He also shared that the divorce led to PTSD, depression, and severe anxiety.

Jamie Perkins opened up about the abuse he endured during his marriage to Nikki, revealing in a video that she was violent towards him, including punching and kicking him in front of their children and family. He described Nikki as having a “split personality” and said he had to leave the house several times to avoid reacting violently himself. Jamie shared how years of abuse led him to lose his self-esteem and sense of identity outside of being a father.

Many viewers offered their support, thanking Jamie for speaking out. One commenter praised his strength, saying men often get dismissed when they speak up about abuse. Another expressed empathy, noting that transparency was part of the healing process and wished both Jamie and Nikki happiness and a healthy relationship for the sake of their children.
