And I'm Gio. And together we are... The Jacksons. These boots I will put on any given hat
0:08
Okay, these boots were definitely my showstoppers. So today we are taking pictures
0:14
for our one year wedding anniversary. A lot of people think because we bad
0:20
I mean, you know. We not men. We still identify as men, but people be so confused
0:25
You don't have a cutie, sir. Who said we did? We said that
0:30
Who said that? We said that. Who said it? So I have this one cousin who voices her concerns and opinions quite frequently
0:38
Are y'all trying to be trans or why don't y'all just take it all the way there
0:47
I'm Ki. This is my husband, Gio. People think we're trans, but we actually just been presenting men
0:52
Let's see one of our most iconic looks. Yes. So do you remember this
0:57
Oh, yes. I really love this because if y'all can't tell I love a turtleneck, a turtleneck be so cute
1:06
So we met back in 2018. He actually came to my job
1:11
It was a fast food seafood restaurant. He came in and he saw me and my coworkers noticed that
1:16
He was looking at me and he was like, did you notice that guy kept staring at you
1:20
Like, did you notice him? But then actually we got each other on Instagram
1:25
I'm like, hey, was that you that worked at such and such and such? And he said, yeah, that was me
1:30
So from there, it's been history. But as soon as I saw him, I was on that
1:36
I guess you could say street wear, urban wear, very much Jordans, jeans, graphic tee
1:45
Very dressed down, very cool. That's definitely how Key met me. Honestly, I'm not going to say I didn't have a sense of style, but I mean, if it matched
1:54
then that's just what I put on for that day. Actually, I'm going to go for the boots
2:02
Okay, that's a good piece. The boots, you know? The boots were a huge statement piece
2:07
Yes. The fur, I just love it. Like, it just really gave majestic
2:13
Like, I don't know, it just makes you feel very, ugh, beastly, like, animal-like
2:18
I would describe my sexuality as just gay. Honestly, I always knew I was gay from a young child
2:23
Some people say they don believe that you can be gay from birth but honestly I been gay all my life Yeah Okay so funny story All my life I actually had girlfriends All my life up until maybe like high school I had girlfriends
2:39
But then when I met Babe here, I became officially gay. Hold on, I just gotta pull out, you know, these boots
2:48
You know these, I wore these boots around. These boots, I will put on any give a day
2:53
Okay, these boots were definitely my showstoppers. for many. So growing up, I've always pretty much presented like more masculine until maybe about like
3:09
10th grade, 11th grade. I started experimenting with my hair. So it started off with U-part wigs and from U-part wigs, it went to lace wigs
3:19
And here we are today, 32-inch bust. Funny enough, we told each other like we would never wear hair
3:26
We would never wear hair. We would never wear makeup. Yes, oh my God. Now look. We're here
3:33
Now, ain't nothing like a good wig and a good beat, okay? Most of my friends already knew like the ins and outs of my intimate relationship anyway
3:41
Now, our family on the other hand, some took it with a grain of salt
3:46
And some definitely had a hard time digesting what exactly was going on
3:51
So I have this one cousin who voices her concerns and opinions quite frequently
3:56
I honestly think she just can't get over the fact that I'm a bad s***ing her
4:01
I'm not prepared for this at all. I'm like kind of really anxious and kind of a little on the edge just to see what she's going to have to say
4:14
Well, when Key and Gio first got together, I thought it was cool because he was still, you know, dressing like a boy
4:21
But now it's a little different. I'm just a bit confused, like what's really going on
4:32
Hey, how are you? I'm good, how are you? I'm all right, I haven't seen you in a while
4:36
Yeah, it's been a minute. First, I definitely wanted to know like how did you view me and Keem when we first got together
4:43
When y'all first got together, it was nothing. Like y'all both was boys, so it was cool
4:47
Well I'm gonna stop you right there. You mean we were both boys, we're still men
4:53
Men were still so... Nothing has changed outside of our appearance. Right y look like girls Look but we aren so But I not understanding like are y trying to be trans or
5:11
why don't y'all just take it all the way there don't be happy in the middle
5:17
we like this is what i'm saying like we're sitting here and i'm telling her what it is and she's
5:21
saying because i don't see why you want to just take the extra step and just but maybe i don't
5:26
Maybe I don't want to. Like, that's the thing. Everybody's so opinionated and always saying what I should do
5:32
Do this. Do that. I don't want to do it. If I wanted to do it, I would have did it. I don't want to do it
5:36
I don't have no interest in being a woman. I don't have no interest in being trans
5:41
I'm just a feminine man. That's it. That's all. So, I think the best thing for you to do is try to understand
5:50
Well, help me understand. Because. Because I think bottom line is we're not trans
5:57
We don't want to be women. We do like wearing makeup. We do like wearing hair
6:02
I don't think that defines, like, who we are as people, as men
6:06
It was just a shock. It's just been a shock to see you go from masculine to so feminine. like
6:14
I'm just I just miss you being Gio that I know the boy Gio
6:21
versus the extra glam girly feminine Gio and you know what you're entitled to your opinion
6:29
I still dress like a boy everyday just because you see me right now right here
6:33
with a wig on and makeup on that does not mean that I don't tomorrow you won't see me
6:36
with a white beater on and some basketball shorts I still am a boy actually I'm not
6:41
I'm a grown man now We don't look like this all day, every day. Quite frankly, we don't even have the desire to look like this all day, every day
6:48
It really takes a lot. It takes a lot to even get ready and do all of this
6:52
Do it. Look good. Yeah. Bomb. Yeah. But this is our everyday life
6:56
So what do you think about our relationship now? Well, now that you elaborated and broke everything down in me, I understand that this is just
7:06
how you pair yourself outside. So I just, I'm coming to understand that this is just how you choose to look
7:13
And I gotta just be okay with it. I appreciate it. Like that? Aww
7:22
Yes. Aww. I think we should take a picture and give him a sneak peek
7:27
Your head look cute. Yes. You look so beautiful. Thank you. Did you just see that comment
7:32
What did it say? Men are so lost This is insane Ew they kiss Aren that some people doing right Right like what Somebody said what sexuality is this now
7:44
Is it not just gay? I could've sworn it was just gay. Common misconceptions that we have as a couple
7:50
is that we're not really together. Some people think we're just best friends
7:54
Some people actually think that we are related. Yeah, some people, now some people say that we look alike
8:00
I don't see it. Somebody commented said, Manly a**pens. Well, aren't we men
8:08
I mean, I don't know how else they would look. I mean, I don't know. I don't know what else are you expecting
8:14
You don't have a cutie, sir. Who said we did? We said that
8:19
Who said that? We said that. Who said that? You said that? I don't remember saying that
8:23
I don't remember stating that on the internet. I never, I don't think I ever, in a way, some of the comments definitely feel kind of liberating
8:31
and empowering because it's kind of like we take the power back and we have the power because we're
8:37
not portraying to be something we're not we stayed up front that we are men we don't identify as
8:42
anything but that we don't want to change it to anything else we're happy in our skin and just
8:47
that alone is enough so today we are taking pictures for our one year wedding anniversary
8:54
One year of being the Jacksons. Oh my gosh, you're so excited
8:59
Are you ready? Open round for y'all. Oh my gosh. Okay, outfits are giving
9:04
Yes. Badly in love. So, today I think we're going for an intimate, more like just giving people a glimpse of us. Yes
9:13
Like as a unit. Really showcasing our love and, you know, making it show through the pictures
9:18
our relationship works because we give each other space we also know how to communicate
9:28
and we definitely keep love in the center of everything we do like that's like my best friend
9:35
he's never doubted me from day one and i just feel like that's somebody that you need in your
9:40
corner for somebody to always love you and he protects me and that's all i can ask for
9:46
The future holds a lot of screen time for us, so be prepared to see us everywhere
9:52
Every, every, everywhere. Like, you're going to get sick of us, honestly. We're trying to be the next power couple, okay
9:59
So just know, when you see me, you'll see him. When you see him, you'll see me
