Omg so I'm not the only one who compares Jasmine and Josh to Ben and Jenn! They're very similar in the sense that the woman is the breadwinner and it's a biracial relationship (East Asian wife and British husband). I get such good vibes from Ben he just seems so nice and chill not to mention hugely supportive of Jenn's success without "idolising" her. Ofc take everything you see on social media with a pinch of salt but I really see them as a healthy couple and something Jasmine and Josh wish they were. I also don't mind seeing him in her vlogs at all because he's not obnoxious or trying to further his own career through her (I think he's a musician, could be wrong)Random, but not that I should compare these two fools to Jenn Im and her husband Ben, but I remember watching a Q&A from Ben and Jenn. Someone had sent in a question asking Ben how he felt about Jenn being the breadwinner. I remember his reply going along the lines of how proud his was and how he found her inspiring. This is someone who knows themselves and supports their spouse, not once did he ever consider her competition or let his ego get in the way. He didn't sponge off his wife either. Ben has his own cooking YT channel and does filming/videographer too. He played on his strengths, he's humble and quite a loveable person... unlike Josh.
They're perfectly balanced in respecting each other's cultures, Jenn tries British food, has been to the UK etc and he's also very respectful of her Korean heritage and fully embraces it without being condescending like Josh is (tries her food, had a Korean marriage ceremony as well as western - and her parents love him!). Jenn proudly represents Korea through her food and speaking the language whereas Jasmine has done everything to hide her Chinese heritage away and in some worse cases, make fun of it to please Josh.
They've just had a baby so I recommend you guys check them out!
Well worded and I agree with everything. I think one of the main reasons Jasmine's channel tanked in views and subs as well as the Jas and Josh channel being stagnant is the introduction of Josh. He's just not a likeable character at all and people can see that. She tried soft launching him through her "how we met video" and after the initial buzz of little Jasie getting a boyfriend died down, her views also died down as Josh appeared more and more. I think it's very notable that the comments questioning Josh had by far the most likes however were deleted - that isn't a good sign for a first impression! There's a minority who love them who may be casual viewers but the silent majority don't care for Josh. The proof is in the pudding (no views or engagement)And let's be honest, if they do break up some day, Josh has everything to lose. With the exception of possibly gaining a chunk of Jasmine's $$$ since they didn't sign a pre-nup. But other than that, Jasmine has everything to gain and she can recover for the sake of carrying on her business. We all know she will do anything for her business and it's her #1 priority. Jasmine's followers would probably come to her aid and defend her and say Josh is the evil one.
this sounds terrible but I think they'd have a super toxic breakup with one side blaming the other. Jasmine would of course use the break up to further her business, probably exaggerate and say how "she found strength to leave an unloving, abusive relationship" which will only tank Josh's career further.
he just doesn't have the skills or personality for a public job. He has a degree and could easily work remotely for a normal company as someone suggested before. It would also improve his mental health to not be in the same job as his wife and constantly compete (and it's not even healthy competition at that!) However, this wouldn't provide him with the necessary ego massage and attention he requires.
Very interesting. Thank you! Maybe I didn't look hard enough for Josh. Just looked for "health hunk" but there wasn't anything immediately popping up which was odd.I went to ‘ABN (Australian Business Number) lookup’ and can confirm that Jasmine is registered as a sole trader. This confirms that she’s taxed under Australian laws and regulations. Details attached
Also had a quick check and it seems that Jasmine should be taxed at 30-35% so taking home around 60,000. Taking away food, bills, looking after Josh expenses, her salary really isn't that impressive at all. She thinks it's amazing because she's only 23. Well, people who get a degree and work in IT, science etc can get to that level pretty quickly. Again, she thinks because she's "ahead" she's better than everyone when in reality she's just rushed everything for no reason and all her age mates will catch up in a healthy manner. So funny when she says "do life at your own pace, it's not a competition" when her entire life is a competition!
