I heard it the same 'advice' all the time since I was 12 and until I moved from Russia. It's 100% cultural.
Yeah, there are documentaries on YT where they follow girls from similar backgrounds to Valeria and they all dream, audition and search for the life that she's gotten. They have "modelling schools" in rural Russia, the girls' poor families hope that their daughter will make it to Europe in modelling and become rich & famous OR meet and marry a rich older guy. That's literally their dream. Valeria is just one of those.

Any thoughts on her new 'apparel line'...? It's just what the world needed-- another boring, basic, low quality sweatsuit packaged in plastic. Well done Valeria.
Oh I haven’t even seen it, I tend to skip past her stories. I’ll check it out.

It’s not certified organic but follows ethical and organic processes? How do we verify that other than to just take her word for it? Also pretty expensive for just a sweatsuit.

Hey guys, first time posting. I follow Valeria for 3-4years now, at first I really liked her, until a few months ago when someone commented on her Youtube channel, saying that she used to do many interesting videos, hacks, q&a's, talk videos, different kinds of videos, but now everything is vlog, vlog, vlog, what we bought, Gary, the children, some designer stuff. She is now just like any other "influencer", traveling, designer stuff, everything add and sponsored..

Haha yeah, right?! They have absolutely no integrity. And it’s all such a fake show of wealth from their “entrepreneur” life when as I said above they’re living on debt 100% and free stuff from brands.
Agreed! Sure, there are people on youtube who use the platform to make a living. We all do something for work, after all. But to excuse Valeria and Gary's clearly questionable ethics by saying all YouTubers do it is just plain not true. There are a lot of honest, hardworking YouTubers out there that wouldn't sell their family and integrity for cash, but who still earn great money.

Getting up and moving like they did at every other Covid restriction (remember costa rica?), is just plain vile. People are dying and suffering and instead of doing your part and staying put, you just uproot your family and move? That must not be easy on the kids.

Hands down every time I see Gary either on a vlog or her Instagram I cringe so hard
The last year or so he’s been trying way too hard to look younger. The designer hoodies and man bags 🤢 obviously getting a bit insecure about bagging a younger woman now. My partner and I are 10 years apart also so I’m worried he’s going to start doing the same when we get older 😂

I haven't noticed anything wrong to her skin. To me, she looks very young - like she is 22 or something. Her body is also pretty good, she had 3 boys. I don't know many mums with three children looking like that.

She is plastic though and the husband is very weird too... Does anyone get some weird vibes from him?

I used to love her when I discovered her but her content is all crap. She is such a try hard. I once commented something along the lines of as a viewer, I don't like seeing behind the scenes as it looks inauthentic with her gazillion staff. And something about over exposure of Gary. I watch HER, not Gary and honestly not even her kids (they are cute but overexposed).

I hate what she has turned into. Or maybe that was her all along? I know this has been said a lot of times..

She's so out of touch with reality, I hope for her sake this doesnt hit her hard later in life. I think if they're able to sustain this lifestyle, she won't..

Valeria if you are reading this, watch your old videos and get over yourself. Tell Gary to get a real job

So I see she's been travelling during the pandemic, nice... Gary's still in the picture unfortunately so I guess her channel won't get better any time soon. Honestly he should focus on his own scam businesses (I hope not) or at least let her do her thing cause his influence totally destroyed her charm and reliability, even if it was fake from the beginning.

That podcast clip of him just going on about that his job is to push her harder to do better and achieve more - wtf how about he focuses on himself and gets a job instead of slinging off Valeria

I truly do not believe a marriage based upon logic and rationality is gross. Unconventional relationships are not gross or bad or necessarily misogynistic. For some people security is the most important factor and they don't have the option of choosing puppy love. Love is a bond that develops over long periods of time. Yes this goes against romantic narratives in mainstream western fiction. My grandmother married for love and ended up with 8 children and an abusive unemployed drunk for a husband who passed away at a young age. People must take care of themselves and make wise choices. I would choose security over puppy romance any day. To have it all is ideal but a smart person will not wait around for that.

Who knows where Valeria may have ended up without Gary. Certainly not with three beautiful children whom she clearly adores and with a lucrative career as one of the biggest players in the family/fashion influencer market right now. Maybe she would have been far worse off in life had she not married him
It is gross because she still pretends they married for love not other reasons and achieved everything by herself not through her scammy husband. Not to mention that 40 years old Gary was creeping on 18 year olds regularly and is a confirmed scammer.

I can't believe some people here still defend them.

I think Gary needs to stop (or Valeria needs to stop Gary) from trying to make themselves a dynamic duo. Valeria is the brand. Valeria’s audience is not necessarily Gary’s audience and that’s ok. I think it’s a stretch to say they should divorce and Valeria will thrive without him blah blah
But from a business perspective, Gary is only a hinderance to Valeria’s brand. CEO Rachel if you’re looking at this….stop him!

Well, it's true and a common mentality. I don't think V is truly in love with Gary anymore. I mentioned how she had Gary spewing love towards her on her podcast and she didn't look into it at all.
He sounded really passive aggressive in her podcasts and jealous of her success, not a fan of his

BUT as soon as i wasn't comfortable with her content i just unfollowed her
Same. I didn't like how they employ people to follow them around every minute of the day like as if they're celebs.

They're business obsessed and their content feels so bizarre and too commercially strategic. Almost like as if every family outing or mundane thing could be brainstormed by a team of eight who come up with a theme and buzzwords and a goal on how many new viewers to attract. And then post family outing they might have a presentation to analyse all of the stats lol.

What does she expect 33 year olds to look like? Especially in this day and age with the advanced skincare compared to 50 years ago.
she’s really in denial and should have a look around high schools and see if she still thinks she looks 15 😂
I wonder what happened to her to make her feel 15. That's a specific age. I cannot imagine myself having 3 kids and a marriage, yet feeling like a teenager. Must be a coping mechanism.

Gary has always given me the creeps, just something about him. But I tried to have an open mind over the last few years I’ve followed her bc she seems like such a kinda and genuine soul which I really appreciate. However their latest video about technology made me cringe so much. He has this air of superiority like everything that comes out of his mouth is gospel—reminds me of a tyrannical dictator.

I feel like she talks a lot about female empowerment but she looked so weak in this latest videos sitting there waiting for a chance to talk, only for Gary to cut her off or say she was wrong. So rude. I’d never tolerate being treated that way by my husband. I feel bad for her :( I thought maybe their love was genuine (I fell in love with someone 20 years older than me once), but now that I look more closely, it seems like a huge power imbalance and she seems like a child being scolded by him as opposed to an equal.

She looks so worn out and stressed these days. I don't know why because it seems like her lifestyle allows plenty of time for pampering and being spoiled (i.e hair/nail appointments, getting surprised with birkins and just being an influencer in general lol) I think she stresses herself out more than necessary, like she needs to prove that she works hard, or maybe she's just bad at handling stress. Her life could be way worse than what she shows, so I can't speak but just making an observation.
I assume because Gary isn't as wealthy as he probably portrayed when they first met and if she wants that luxurious life, she has to hustle now.

By the way, Gary's shirt in this video is $750!!! Foolish.

Has anyone seen her latest video "hardest thing we ever done" They are talking about buying a house in miami........It was interesting tho bc they tell us Valeria is on a L-1 visa which is for extraordinary people with special talents (she claims bc she is a model) :unsure: but also they finally bought a house and it was pretty easy to find......They bought it for 5.5 million.....

He's determined to profit off the whole family!
OMG. I read the caption and he is talking like it was purely an idea that they came up with as 5 and 6 year olds. Does he think we are stupid? These kids should be in school and should be playing and discovering who they are and making friends. They should not be making a public channel about gaming, worrying about views, censoring what they say to fit their viewership, what helps the youtube algorithm, and making money. They should be learning who they are and growing. They have their WHOLE lives to work and worry about that stuff and their parents are just treating them like cash cows. Just let kids be kids!

Gary had mentioned in his birthday vlog that he wished she was happier. I think she's miserable deep down and nothing will fix that.
