Koshy and Dobrik regularly made videos together on their respective channels throughout the duration of their time together, referencing each other on social media. They developed a mutual friend circle over the years, and it ultimately became the primary source of their content.
The group went on to profit millions off of their hilarious antics and situational comedies on YouTube. Fans grew closer to the pair when Dobrik revealed to Seventeen how he and Koshy had first met at a Hollywood party and "bonded over the fact that we couldn't drink because we were underage."
Why did they break up?
While Koshy and Dobrik decided to keep their breakup a secret for nearly six months, the news eventually made rounds of social media followed by a very public video of the details of their breakup on YouTube. The announcement was lighthearted, in a very Koshy and Dobrik fashion, but the two were visibly heartbroken about the news. During the video, they said they took a two-hour break to compose themselves before revealing the split.
"It wasn't healthy for us to continue to be together, for now," David shared in the video, adding, "Liza broke up with me because she felt like we've been distant because we've been so busy. And as much as I hate to admit it, I was feeling it on my side too but I just don't have the balls to pull the trigger on that."
"We felt like we were living separate lives but neither of us was coming to terms with it," Liza said. "So I decided we should break up. We didn't want to tell anybody because we were just so angry at the fact we distanced in the first place. We did nothing to each other to cause a breakup. We have a lot of growth and development and learning and loving to do," she added.
Koshy discussed her former relationship in an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. "We had such an amazing relationship," she said. When asked why they waited six months to break the news, she said, "We wanted to heal first. We wanted to give ourselves some time... but still be able to create online. So for those six months, we took that time for ourselves to grow," she added.
