Marina Joyce Height, Weight, Age, Body Statistics

Marina Joyce is an English social media star, TV personality, and model, best known for her YouTube channel initially called “iRaindropsx” before she changed it to reflect her real name. The channel, which has amassed a fanbase of more than 2.5 million subscribers, is dedicated to lifestyle tips and tricks, spirituality, makeup tutorials, product reviews, challenges, vlogs, comedy skits, fashion hauls, commentary, and reactions. She created it on August 25, 2010, but it only came to prominence in mid-2012 when she posted her 1st video and became known for her slightly awkward and anxious personality. This personality trait led a part of her fanbase to believe that she was under duress while making videos, or even worse, got kidnapped around 2016.

She clarified on a number of occasions that it wasn’t the case and that it was her depression to blame. The same rumors sparked back up again on July 31, 2019, when she was reported missing. After a little more than 10 days, and the hashtag #SaveMarinaJoyce went trending again, London police found her safe and in good health. Her boyfriend stated that it had nothing to do with him and that she has returned home. Due to her story being covered in all well-known online portals and magazines, her social media following arose slightly as well. She has also amassed a large fanbase online with more than 1 million followers on Facebook and more than 400k followers on Twitter.

Boyfriend / Spouse

Marina Joyce has dated –

1. Jason “VeeOneEye” Sampson (2014) – In 2014, she was in a relationship with a fellow YouTube star VeeOneEye, who began his vlogging career in early 2012 and is known for his unusual, large haircut. The two collaborated on a number of occasions, most prominently in her videos AWKWARD BATH SITUATIONS, BOYFRIEND TAG, and VEEONEEYE ♥. She introduced him as “the boyfriend she rented off eBay for a day” in 2014. Their favorite thing to do as a couple was to eat pizza and binge Netflix shows, and she was always the Mrs. Right in their relationship. At that time, they usually took around the same time to get ready in the morning, about 20 to 30 minutes, because he had a lot of work to do taming his hairstyle for the day. In addition, the thing that annoyed him about Marina was that she would say, “I’ll be there in a minute,” and show up hours later. She claimed that he wasn’t a romantic at all, but he still “put a ring on her finger” as a joke at their fanbase’s request for a video.
2. Deji Olatunji (2014)
3. Brandon Joseph Mehmed (2017-Present) – She calls Brandon, a fellow YouTuber, her “beautiful celestial companion”. The two spoke to each other for the 1st time on November 23, 2016, using a messaging app WhatsApp, as well as via e-mails. 6 days later, they met in person at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland in London, England, United Kingdom. On their 2nd date, in December 2016, they watched the movie Moana (2016) together. Marina introduced him in a video titled AQUARIUM VLOG on January 30, 2017, which was coincidentally also her 1st vlog ever on the channel. The 1st time they said “I love you” was an awkward situation, as they walked in the middle of the street, and discussed love in general. She thought she heard the well-known phrase from him, and he had to say it to break the awkwardness. In June 2018, she already met his dad and brothers, but not his mom because she lived far away.

Best Known For

First TV Show

Marina Joyce made her first TV show appearance as ‘Herself’ in an episode of the talk-show This Morning in July 2016.

Personal Trainer

Around 2014, Marina became a vegan and fell in love with the lifestyle and diet. She detests the taste of eggs, fish, meat, and cow milk, but enjoys plant-based milk. For people going into it, Marina recommends buying “mock” chicken, eggs, or beef from the supermarket because it has a similar flavor but is vegan-friendly. She also emphasizes the importance of buying a vegan cookbook and cooking yourself so that you have absolute control over the ingredients.

She meditates before sleep every night and is a big fan of practicing the Kundalini yoga as well. Marina was also afraid of the diseases that happen in animals such as various bacterias that develop, or worse yet, Mad Cow disease. She thinks that is nature’s sign for people to stop eating animals. Marina’s best vegan snacks are those that are sugar-free so that she can keep eating without feeling the guilt, and finds that vegan food tastes much better.

In 2017, PETA sent her a Vegan Starter Kit that she opened on camera, and loved all of the food inside. It contained a coconut alternative to Greek and cheddar cheese, vegan sausages, vegan kebabs, vegan jerky, and Tofurky which was a Tofu meat jerky. Marina recommends the kit to everyone that’s still not up to par on analyzing ingredients themselves but wants to start living a vegan lifestyle immediately.
