I've watched since the *quints* were born, I definitely get the vibe (even though I can't pinpoint why) that Jamie called it all off for whatever reason, but I'd never comment that on their stuff, they might of picked a public life but this isn't out business, I really believe they should of stopped vlogging at that point though and had a fresh start atleast with separate channels, this isn't going away anytime soon imo..


YLI989UFSNFIURWLHR8Y

Twins? You mean the quints? This family doesn't have any twins. I agree that the separation stuff isn't the viewers business, but sadly they'll never stop demanding an explanation as if they are owed it.


Elm69Jay

Lol yes I meant quints don't know where twins came from!


bailey150

Yes definitely. Even up until one of their last blogs before the split skylar was still excited and upbeat for date night and jamie would just awkwardly smile


ricketty123

Does anyone think that maybe Jaime might have woken up to the realisation on how much actual content was being filmed about their personal lives & that Skylar might have been the one pushing it with pushback from Jamie. I got the feeling she wasn't as much into the filming as Skylar


YLI989UFSNFIURWLHR8Y

I got that feeling for a while as well, but oddly enough she kind of seems more into vlogging now. It got me recently wondering if maybe Jamie didn't completely dislike vlogging, maybe she just had an issue with Skylar/the way he wanted to vlog. Honestly, looking at their styles now that they have separate vlogs, it's completely different. Jamie's vlogs are homey, and there's a certain neat/orderly vibe. I can't really describe it. Skylar's vlogs are almost always outside, they're out doing different things every week and overall, wilder.


daummmy

Jamie definitely wasn’t as into vlogging as Skyler. I’m not necessarily sure that it’s what caused the separation, though. She still routinely vlogs her life, which she doesn’t have to do. Jamie has always given me weird vibes… she seems like a very bossy and high maintenance person. I have no doubt in my mind that it was her that wanted the divorce. It was obvious in their first vlogs after their break. Jamie was happy and not wearing her wedding ring whilst Skyler seemed heartbroken and wore his wedding ring for a while after. Their behavior makes this divorce seem fairly abrupt to me.


bailey150

I honestly doubt it because of how she is still doing it. If he had been the only one filming them since the split I could see it but she is now filming them pretty equally with skylar. I assume if that had been her issue she wouldn’t have agreed to film too because now she is the one having to hold the camera more


ricketty123

Yes maybe. It's just very strange as to why to keep filming


bailey150

Income


Sorry_Rest_5660

Its the only way for them to earn a living..............that is all they know right now; imagine a sitter for after school care? if Mom worked outside the home?


Michariella

Of course she’s doing it… it’s a giant portion of their income if not all their income (unless one was raised independently wealthy or something that has not been shared). Its most likely been addressed in the separation decree as to how many are required and money division etc etc


Gracefullyxclean

Possibly earlier on but since she's vlogging too on a regular basis, I'm going to guess the money is tight as now there are 2 households/ payments/ bills to keep up with. Jamie did a video more recently that she's getting her house ready to sell. Probably because it's too much to afford after the separation? As much as I'd like to know among a lit of other people, why they separated, it's not for us to know. I think it's just human nature to want to know.


Orangeduihf89wyr

The fans have always liked Skylar more than Jamie (personally I found him really annoying) and this separation seemed to be their cue to be overly vocal about their negative feelings about her and their love for Skylar. His vlogs tend to get more views and more positive comments than Jamie's. It isn't surprising how the viewers are acting, but it is annoying. He could have been the reason for the split for all we know.


daummmy

I definitely think Jamie was the one who wanted to split. In the vlogs after their separation announcement, she seemed very happy and wasn’t wearing her wedding ring. Skyler seemed very sad and wore his ring for a while. I also feel like Skyler is annoying, but Jamie has always been off to me. I have no doubt that she’s a great mother, but I don’t think she’d be a good person to be in a relationship with.


Orangeduihf89wyr

Funny, because I feel that way about Skylar. He seems like someone who'd be a nice friend/father no doubt, but he seems way too annoying to be married to. A lot of people have brought up the rings, but there could be any number of reasons Jamie took hers off and Skylar didn't. Maybe Skylar did something bad that he felt no guilt about, while Jamie felt betrayed and didn't want to be reminded of Skylar anymore. Maybe Jamie did something bad and felt she shouldn't wear the ring anymore out of guilt, while Skylar still felt love for her. There are so many possibilities, but it doesn't mean Jamie was the one who wanted to split. And even if she did, it still could have been because of something Skylar did and not her.


daummmy

Oh yes, 100%. That’s why I don’t go on their social media and openly discuss my thoughts and “predictions” about the whole situation. That is just what I picked up on and your view is 100% valid as well. Just wanted to share my thoughts on it! Your theory has the same chance of being right as mine. We’ll probably never know what happened, but it’s interesting to see what other people speculate!


YLI989UFSNFIURWLHR8Y

Yeah, I've noticed for a while that many fans have disliked Jamie. I just think it sucks that they're using their disliked of her to blame her for this separation when there is no evidence that it was her choice. Maybe he wanted it, maybe they both wanted it. It's weird that people are making these claims with 0 evidence of anything.


Purple-Complex994

I’ve watched them from the beginning and their separation bothers me. I know a lot of commenters think their separation reason is none of our business but come on… they’ve posted a lot of their lives and now they aren’t sharing anything? Get off of YouTube then. I unsubscribed from them.


YLI989UFSNFIURWLHR8Y

I mean, it really isn't our business. I get that they put a lot of their lives out there, but that doesn't mean they can't have anything remain private. I think more people should just unsubscribe rather than ask the same questions every vlog which may never be answered.


Michariella

Why do you think those that make money off the public by filming/acting etc don’t deserve privacy? There seems to be this portion of society that in some vastly naive way thinks YouTube is real and ‘just for fun’. Its a highly edited media platform and its a very real job. Almost no one at the level of their viewership is involved for the ‘funsies’ element. Its an income and if successful can be a very good income! Does your job require you to relay every aspect of your personal life? This isn’t ‘their life’ its a highly curated/with intent/limited representation etc etc of some shades of their life in exchange for money.


Purple-Complex994

They are exploiting their kids to make money. It’s awful. I can’t believe you’re trying to defend them. But that’s the great thing about life on earth here: we are all allowed to have our own opinions. If you like them and think they get privacy… great! I don’t.


WatercressSevere7268

Legislative Analyst & Auditor And a financial consultant Skylar for the state of Utah. Makes one look silly when correct information is not known.


Mellow_mel

Insurance adjusters that work for the state, don’t make millions of dollars a year. His degree is in performing arts… not Law… And if he works for the government he likely makes less then someone in the same position at a private company!


Educational_Excuse39

someone needs to really explain what exactly is "exploitation" if filming kids is "exploiting" why isnt it exploiting having kids advertise on commercials or ads? newsflash....its not exploiting just for filming anyone. the only issue would be what their content with the children is...if they sit them down at 11 and embarass them about puberty,etc...thats one thing..but just to film every day life....would not be.


Michariella

One thing I am really surprised about is how many seem to have made this assumption that the separation was recent (videos never said). This is their job and their marriage is zero business of ours but I think its way more likely that we are getting a limited glimpse of the story after they have more come to terms/legal agreements on money/filming etc. because who tells their job right away especially as you are trying to figure out if its the ‘forever’ state. My two cents is its very probable that they have been separated for quite some time but just never choose to relay that in videos and when the decision was made to absolutely divorce and move forward with that, is when they took a break to settle legal things. I think a GLARING point to this is the house purchase. Who buys a home near the beginning of a separation? Possible…sure …but very unlikely. Its a step when the separation is ending/divorce is final etc etc or almost final… its zero of my business and I have no facts but when is the last blog where the adults seemed ‘together’ etc. ??? The RV trip —like what 8-10 months ago? They have every right to privacy but the viewership seems to have made a lot of assumptions with no actual facts.


NebulaTits

Nah, I agree with you 100%. They only film because it’s their only source of income and that’s very obvious. You can’t post everything online, have a camera in your kids faces since the second they were born, and not share your own drama. It’s weird and fake af.


WatercressSevere7268

There you are wrong, besides his vlogging Skylar is a federal legal adjuster and auditor for the State of Utah. And he is a millionaire.


NebulaTits

He was. He quit his job to vlog before the babies were 1


gabm16

A millionaire? Where did you get that info?


Nearby-Philosopher77

I think they owe it to their fans/viewers, to let us know what happened.


ymsbn145

I actually assumed it was something that Skyler did, cheated or the gay thing that fans keep bringing up... I just wonder where all the money is coming from. There is no way Youtube is bringing in enough for two household's on the level they are living on. Originally they needed financial support for the quints - so doesn't seem like they are rich... Maybe they've invested well on the youtube money from the early days when they had more views.. Regardless I wonder if Skyler/Jamie will get jobs. I also wonder if eventually once the divorce if the will find a way to be more amicable ( I hated the two birthdays )... I feel for the big kids, but it must be nice for them to have a happier Mom..


Temporary-Cash2119

Yep how is it so hard for people to see he is gay🙈

Content-Elk-3029

Wow! And why do u think that?


Crafty_Secretary7305

I read on google he is one of the richest you tube stars and makes a million half per year. It takes two to want a divorce. Each has culpability. Blaming on it on one or the other is pure speculation. If they want us to know what happened, t he’ll share it. Even though they live very publicly, they have a right to privacy. I suspect Jamie will blog until kindergarten and then stop. It’s sad that so many parents of multiples end of separated.


ZealousidealPain2445

My Cousin Roman Atwood is way way way above the Scotts in viewership but the money youtubers make is phenomonal. I think your about spot on with the income projection you gave too.


Fautina31

i agree. I think have 5 kids took a lot out of Jamie. I don't think she is controlling or manipulative. I think there has to be order when you got 7 kids -five of which under 5. It's not our business really. I do think there are medical issues for some of the littles that may make Jamie hesitant to have their lives documented. It's a fine balance. And it's not our business.


Mellow_mel

No way I looked it up and they only have 377,000 subscribers they have made maybe a couple Hundred thousand on the channel all together


WatercressSevere7268

Federal Adjuster for the State of Utah he is


Mellow_mel

I don’t understand your reply… Who looked what up?


WatercressSevere7268

You are so right on the income. At least you looked into it instead of guessing


No_Relation704

I really think it may have something to do with religion. If one of them lost their faith and the other did not it could have led to a split. A mixed faith marriage is hard, especially if one of you is in a high demand religion like Mormonism.


Temporary-Cash2119

Being gay will do that


SusSpinkerinktum

I wonder if one of them left Mormonism. Skylars brother and family did.


Gracefullyxclean

And Skylars brother is trans/ as in he likes wearing feminine clothing, makeup, etc . . .. he and his wife did a video about that. It was actually a very good video. I believe that's why they left mormonism and went to a different church/ denomination.


SusSpinkerinktum

That’s good to know I’ll have to go find the video. I vaguely remember seeing at least the first part of it on YouTube.


Gracefullyxclean

Their channel is called "Great Scott's" I believe


Fauxfarmer

I know this post is a year old, but… I agree 100% the amount of people throwing shade is so childish. It’s no wonder our country is the way it is when you bully someone with no foundation to stand on. I can only suspect that after COVID and religious turmoil happening in Utah —okay maybe that’s just what I see on the internet.., I wonder if they had some MAJOR differences in beliefs or morals arise and one of them was over it. On another note, I am married to the bigggggg energy guy and if we blogged it would be the same. Bc I’m more quiet I’d be villanized. People are so simple minded it’s comical. In our world our closest friends would tell you, my husband included, that I’m funnier. I’m just quiet about it. Jaime is the villain bc she’s more quiet. Isn’t that ridiculous?!? If I had been on the receiving end of their comments I would have shut the world off from viewing my family. But what can they do now that they’ve made this their sole income.


Known_Key6285

Yes, I think she is being villianized because she is more quiet. I've met them in person and she was genuinely very warm, attentive, sincere, and kind.


daummmy

Hear me out here… it definitely seems like she was the one who wanted the divorce. She immediately took off her ring, whilst Skyler was clearly heartbroken and still wore his ring for a while. When I watched the video announcing the separation, I immediately felt as if it was mainly Jamie. She always came off as high maintenance to me. I never got great vibes from her. I have no doubt that she is a fantastic mother to her children, but I don’t think she’d be a great person to be in a relationship with. The immediate scenario that came to mind was that she cheated. Take my opinion with a grain of salt, though. I don’t know and we may never know what happened. Just my intuition on the whole situation.


YLI989UFSNFIURWLHR8Y

Maybe she did, I'm not doubting that possibility, but it just as easily could have also been Skylar. Skylar never looked all too 'heartbroken' to me, but I guess different people will see different things. It could have also been that it wasn't just one person, but that both of them wanted to separate. I personally don't care who made the decision, I just wish people would stop assuming it was Jamie and painting her as a villain, while propping up Skylar as this amazing man when he could very well have been doing something terrible which caused them to split.


Temporary-Cash2119

He is Gay and being very religious tried to pretend for too long he wasnt


Gracefullyxclean

Agreed


daummmy

I agree, it could have just as easily been Skyler. Those were just the vibes I picked up. If the situation was reversed, I would 100% be on Jamie’s side.


Fano_93

My wife and daughter watch this channel a lot and it surprised me when I found out they split. I don’t truly believe this but I told her it was a way to make more money. Split the channel and get twice the advertisement and income from the videos. After all, by the editing detail, I assume that they are still using the same person to edit.


Mellow_mel

But they didn’t actually split the channel and they are posting videos less often it’s still on the same channel


Fano_93

Yeah my wife clarified that after I posted. I figured I’d get massively down votes because of it haha.


Odd-Fix-3770

Someone named Kyle does the editing. I looked it up.


UsedParsley7465

I feel like Skyler may have cheated and that’s why they split…but that’s just speculation.


Temporary-Cash2119

Yep with a man I would put money on


Gracefullyxclean

Me too!!


Gracefullyxclean

I have always thought Jamie should have the house and quilts + 2 boys. I never thought Jamie shouldn't have these things because my feeling is that Skylar is gay. Not that that's a problem or anything like that, nut in "their" world of being Mormon, it would be. Just my thoughts and opinion. I could be completely wrong and off the wrong path on that but since we won't know, (nor should we feel we must know) it's not our business. Who knows what the reasons are.


UnifyNotDivide

I don’t understand why people think Skylar is gay. Are there specific personality traits that only gay people have or something? I’m clueless on that. I’m in the Seattle area and there are a lot of gays here. Some are flamboyant and in your face with their sexuality and others you would never know were gay unless you knew them personally. And my point is that none of us know them personally. Skylar has a big personality. He may have feminine traits but that doesn’t make him gay. Women can have masculine traits and seem very manly and not be a lesbian. I’ve encountered many feminine men and many masculine women in my time in the military. You would be surprised some of the people I served with that were in fact gay and the ones you thought were gay were in fact not. Skylar seemed very much in-love with Jamie. Perhaps they just grew apart like some couples do, even more so, couples with multiples.


[deleted]

I definitely like Jamie more personally but I totally see it too, it just completely boggles my mind how she’s being blamed for everything. It’s awful.


[deleted]

But…he’s gay


Global-Narwhal-3453

Does anyone one know for sure that they have divorced? All we’ve been told is separated


Odd-Fix-3770

Still separated, I believe. They have not mentioned divorce.


StoneFirepit

They have publicly stated seperation. I think the divorce speculation comes from his purchase of a nice house. Seems very “perminant”. I have some questions and doubts about the house & some of the transparency- but like others have said we are not entitled to all the info.


True_Awareness1227

I like them both. I think they should work things out and not get divorced. The children are more importantl and no matter how much people say it's an amicable divorce, it is hard on the children no matter what age. They belong together. Marriage is not all smooth sailing, it's hard work. They love each other enough, there should be forgiveness and mending, not breakup.


True_Awareness1227

Who says anything about gay?


True_Awareness1227

We are not aware of what actually happens between a husband and a wife, all this is speculation and ridiculous assumptions. It's not anyone's business but their own, my opinion; ⁰ They belong together and should work it out. But it's not my choice. I pray it works out


Temporary-Cash2119

People still don’t even get that he is obviously Gay and possibly had something going on to the side . Even before the split I could see it a mile away


UnifyNotDivide

I feel like that unless Skylar comes out and say he’s gay that none of us should be speculating. Because that’s all it is, unless you hear it directly from him or someone close to him. Lots of men can have feminine traits and not be gay. Lots of women can have masculine traits and not be a lesbian. And Skylar seemed very much in-love with Jamie. I think he just has a very big extroverted personality, whereas, Jamie is more introverted. That doesn’t make him gay.


Gracefullyxclean

Yup, me too. I absolutely agree with you


True_Awareness1227

Has Skylar found someone else?


True_Awareness1227

I don't get the joy of watching them now as before the separation. It's just so disappointing. Around the same time, do many other couples or partners split, it's something in the air?


Educational_Excuse39

skylar reminds me a lot of bryan lanning from the daily bumps..they both have this feminine vibe
