Personal Life – Mom, Daughter and Girlfriend

Looking at the relationship life of Jesse Wellens, it becomes very interesting how life can sometimes bring a goose to a gander. This is mostly because the prankster was able to find love in fellow prankster partner Jeana Smith. The two were in a relationship from 2005 until 2016.

Many fans were not happy with the two breaking up, but as rumours have it, Jesse cheated on Jeana. The two have, however, still remained close even after the breakup and they still appear to be close friends. Reacting to the rumours that he cheated on his girlfriend, Jesse denied it.

Almost at the same time, reports emerged that the prank master has had a long time daughter that he has given up for adoption. According to him, the daughter, who was then 14 years old, but now probably 15, was watching his videos but didn’t know he was her father.

“Ok yes, I may have a daughter. We never met and its killing me. It’s a long and crazy story. I need to get off my chest and find her,” he tweeted. He later decided to delete the tweet.

He also said he knows the name of his daughter, but he is still looking to find her. As a result of what he does for a living, it would be easier for one to assume or believe that it is just another prank, but the prankster said it wasn’t.

Even though through his pranks he has been able to get many people laughing, his life hasn’t been with no sadness. In 2015, his mother, Stella Wellens was reported missing. She was, however, later found dead. According to reports, she committed suicide after suffering from severe depression for quite a long time.
