In February of 2023, PewDiePie shared a heartfelt video where he announced that he and Marzia were going to have a baby. It had several clips and pictures of Marzia and also showed that her baby bump was growing.
As the date of delivery approached, PewDiePie suggested he might not have the time to make content. Here's what he said:
"I'm very, very, very excited. I don't know what it's gonna be like. I don't know if I'll have time to make videos. Is it gonna be chaos? I don't know. But I imagine I won't upload for a while. So, just wanted to say thank you for all the support in these vlogs. We're so happy you guys have enjoyed them and we can share a bit of our life here. But I think, for now, we might take a little break until we come back again."
PewDiePie and Marzia welcome Bjorn: How to pronounce name and what it means
The popular couple named their son Bjorn. For those unaware, this is a Scandinavian name that has origins in Old Norse. It is a name predominantly used in countries such as Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. "Bjorn' is derived from the Old Norse element bjǫrn, which means bear. In Norse mythology and Viking culture, that was considered a powerful and respected animal, and the name Bjorn represents this.
Bjorn is pronounced as "BYORN" in English. The "B" has a regular B sound, but the "J" is pronounced like Y. The "O" will be drawn out. The "R" is pronounced with a slight tongue roll, similar to the R sound in Spanish or Italian. So, when pronouncing Bjorn, you would say "BYORN" with an emphasis on the first syllable.
