Alissa Violet and Jake Paul were once one of the most popular couples on the internet, but their relationship ended in a very public and dramatic way. Many fans have wondered if they are related by blood, since they share the same last name and both hail from Ohio. The answer is no, they are not related at all. They met when Jake and his brother Logan Paul were back in their home state for an appearance, and Jake encouraged Alissa to move to Los Angeles and pursue her dream of becoming a model and social media influencer, according to HollywoodLife.
Alissa joined Jake’s social media label Team 10, which consisted of a group of YouTubers who lived and worked together in the same house. Alissa and Jake started hooking up and dubbed themselves “Jalissa”, even making YouTube videos together. Everything seemed peachy until February 2017, when some serious drama started.
The Cheating Scandal
In late February 2017, Alissa tweeted vague messages about bad friendships and being emotionally damaged by someone who she thought would always be there for her. She also posted a Snapchat video of her stuff being moved to the foyer of the Team 10 house, claiming that Jake had changed the locks on her and kicked her out, according to Seventeen.
Jake then took to Twitter to give his side of the story. In a since-deleted tweet, he reportedly wrote that Alissa had cheated on him with someone who was very close to him, and that he was the victim, not her. He later revealed in another tweet that the person Alissa had cheated on him with was none other than his older brother, Logan Paul. He also made a since-deleted YouTube video, where he claimed that he made Alissa’s career and that she was ungrateful.
Alissa denied cheating on Jake, and said that they were never officially dating. She also accused Jake of having girls over every night in front of her, and treating her like dirt. She posted a note on Twitter titled “The truth”, where she wrote that Jake would try to be cute with her the next morning after hooking up with other girls, and that she cried herself to sleep almost every night living in his house.
The Aftermath
The drama between Alissa and Jake did not end there. They continued to throw shade at each other on social media, and even made diss tracks about each other. Alissa also collaborated with Logan Paul on some videos, which many saw as a way to get back at Jake. Jake, on the other hand, moved on with other girls, such as Erika Costell and Tana Mongeau, whom he married in 2019.
However, in December 2019, Jake surprised everyone by posting an intimate photo of him and Alissa about to kiss on Instagram. He captioned it with “#Jalissa”, which sparked rumors that they had rekindled their relationship. Alissa also posted the same photo on her Instagram story, but neither of them confirmed or denied anything.
Many fans were confused and skeptical about their reunion, especially since Jake was still married to Tana at the time. Some speculated that it was a publicity stunt or a prank, while others hoped that they had finally made peace with each other.
The Conclusion
So, is Alissa Violet related to Jake Paul? The answer is still no. They are not siblings, cousins, or any other kind of relatives. They are just two ex-lovers who had a very messy breakup that played out online for everyone to see. Whether they are still friends or enemies is unclear, but one thing is certain: their relationship will always be remembered as one of the most controversial ones in YouTube history.
