The so-called mom and dad of YouTube have reportedly been a couple since 2013 and are known for their popular video content and love of dogs.
Mourey quit YouTube last year after apologizing for past offensive content and use of blackface in an impression of rapper Nicki Minaj.
"It was not my intention to do blackface ... but all that matters is that people were offended and it hurt them," Mourey said in the now-deleted video. "I think I'm just gonna move on from this channel for now. I want to make sure the things I put out into the world are not hurting anyone."
The couple also had a joint podcast, the Jenna and Julien Podcast, which they ended back in August.
"I haven't been on the internet for a while." Mourey said at the time. "I'm getting help, and I'm just being a person right now."
