How old is Samantha Jo? All about the YouTube star as she announces pregnancy with longtime boyfriend

YouTuber Samantha Jo announced on Thursday, August 22, 2024, that she was expecting her first child. The content creator stated that she was currently three months pregnant and also revealed that this was the reason why she was absent from social media.

In a video titled 'IM HAVING A BABY,' Samantha Jo revealed that getting pregnant was not on her “bingo card,” as she was told months ago that she would face difficulty getting pregnant naturally. She also playfully referred to the baby as an “oopsy baby.” The content creator, who is 25 years old, also added:

“I have always known that me having kids was going to be a long, lengthy process of IVF [in vitro fertilization] and lots of money… I had mentally accepted that and now here we are.”

Samantha Jo also revealed that the first trimester was difficult as she was “so sick,” but she eventually “started to feel better.”

For those uninitiated, the Lexington, South Carolina native is best known for her lifestyle content. She has amassed over one million subscribers on the video-sharing platform.
