All About PewDiePie’s Wife & Son After He Shares YouTube Goodbye Video
It’s the end of an era for YouTuber Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie.
On September 22, PewDiePie posted his final family vlog, titled “Thank you and Goodbye,” and revealed that he is stepping away from his platform to focus on raising his son, Björn, off-camera with his wife, Marzia. During the final vlog, PewDiePie and his family traveled from their home in Japan to Sweden, his home country. Later, he got candid about leaving the platform.
Below, we’re breaking down everything we know about PewDiePie’s family, including his adorable son, wife, and more as he enters his new family-focused era.
Did PewDiePie leave YouTube?
PewDiePie started as a video game content creator and transitioned to posting family vlogs a few years back for his “soft retirement.” As of September 2026, PewDiePie is not fully leaving YouTube, but he has decided to stop posting video diary-style vlogs after four years of consistently taking followers inside his life. He explained, “The reason we are stopping is because we didn’t want to go on forever. But I also felt like, with Björn growing up, it’s a good time to stop.” There may still be limited content, but not much.
He admitted, “I do not love being famous. I actually kind of hate it. I hate that I can’t go to certain places and that I have to be mindful of other people… For Björn, I want him to make his own choices — he deserves his own privacy. And I think that’s why we felt like now was a good time to stop. Even though he’s so wonderful and we love sharing him with you guys.” PewDiePie will be continuing to share his newsletter.
How old is PewDiePie?
PewDiePie is 36 years old. He started creating content in 2010 when he was 21, so he has been a YouTuber for over 16 years.
Who is PewDiePie’s wife?
PewDiePie is married to former Italian YouTuber Marzia, whom he wed in 2019. The duo met in 2011, when a friend suggested that Marzia reach out to PewDiePie over email, before starting to create videos of her own. Marzia, who posted under the username CutiePieMarzia, left YouTube in 2018.
How many kids does PewDiePie have?
PewDiePie and Marzia had their son, Björn, in 2023. At the time, they posted a selection of family photos, writing, “Welcome to the family, little Björn.” In a later post, PewDiePie confessed, “Never thought I’d be raising a kid with four dogs… in a foreign country, too!”
