I’ve been a fan of JuJu and Des for years now, and with them celebrating seven years together,
I’m honestly at a loss for words. JuJu and Des (Julius and Destiny), the influencer and media power couple, have captured hearts for nearly a decade with their relatable stories and genuine love for each other.
They’ve shared everything—from their love story’s humble beginnings to the tough times they faced in marriage, growing their family, and now enjoying the life they’ve always dreamed of.
Their journey has been so raw and real, showing how they’ve navigated life together, staying true to themselves while constantly evolving, theygossip.com reports.
What sparked this trip down memory lane for me was the trending challenge where people compare their teenage photos to now, reflecting on how they’re losing their youthful looks.
It hit me hard—we’re all growing older, but it’s comforting to see that while we change, some love stories remain timeless.
So, I thought, why not do a piece on JuJu and Des and dive into their love story—how their romance began, what they’ve gone through along the way, and where they are now.
Let’s get into another inspiring love story and maybe, as a single person myself and probably you, find a little inspiration for our own happily ever afters!

JuJu and Des’ Story
Love has a funny way of sneaking up on you, and for influencers Julius and Destiny, it kicked off with a super awkward and nerve-racking first meeting that totally caught them off guard.
Their transition from shy hellos to a deep, lasting connection shows just how love can surprise you when you’re not looking.
So, let’s jump into the story of how this dynamic duo crossed paths and fell head over heels for each other.
The Chance Meeting That Almost Didn’t Happen
Fate has a funny way of intervening when you’re least expecting it. For Julius, it was a random hangout with a friend that led him straight to Destiny.
He wasn’t even supposed to be there that day – just tagging along as moral support while his friend met up with Destiny’s cousin.
Little did he know that this casual outing would change his life forever.
When they walked into the restaurant where Destiny worked, Julius was immediately captivated by her.
She was radiant, confident, and completely unaware that she was about to meet the man who would soon become her biggest supporter.
But here’s the twist: Julius was way too shy to approach her. Despite his cool exterior, inside, he was a bundle of nerves.
Every time Destiny walked by, he found himself avoiding eye contact, sneaking glances, and silently freaking out.
On the flip side, Destiny noticed Julius right away. He was hard to miss, but instead of the warm, flirty vibe she expected, he barely acknowledged her existence!
To her, it seemed like he wasn’t interested at all – not even a casual goodbye when he left. It was the kind of awkwardness that would make most people give up and move on.
The DM That Sparked It All
Small actions can change everything. After a disappointing first meeting, Julius couldn’t stop thinking about Destiny.
He messaged her cousin for advice on how to approach her without seeming eager.
Encouraged to “just be yourself,” he decided to visit Destiny at work again, determined to get her number.
When he finally asked, it felt like a huge win. Destiny was surprised that this quiet guy had the confidence to make a move.
Despite their nerves, they exchanged numbers, and a connection began to form.
First Date
For their first official date, Julius picked a unique choice – a hike. It was an ideal way for them to bond without interruptions.
The fresh air, beautiful sights, and physical activity helped them relax and connect more deeply.
What might have been an uncomfortable meeting turned into something meaningful. As they walked, their conversation became easy, revealing shared interests they hadn’t anticipated.
The tension faded, and by the end of the hike, they both realized they had found something genuine.
Marriage and Creating a Family
The connection they found with one another soon turned into a vow they took and they promised to cherish and take care of it every day.
A few years back the couple welcomed their first child together, a boy and now they are pregnant again!!
A Brake From Marriage
These two did not have an easy journey, they lost people on the way and that took a toll on their marriage too.
But beneath the smiles and happy moments, there’s more to this outing than meets the eye.
The couple has taken a candid moment to talk about the struggles they’ve faced lately, from feeling overwhelmed with daily life pressures to needing time for themselves and each other.
They admit they had been in a mental slump, which even affected their relationship, making it clear that every relationship has its ups and downs. But they are okay now because together as they said they can make it work!
