When YouTube vloggers Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau announced earlier this year that they were “taking a break” from their five-month-long open marriage, which may or may not have been fake, I let out a long, purifying sigh. For nearly eight months, knowledge of this troubling relationship had festered in my mind. While both give off deranged energy on their own — Jake is best known for terrorizing West Hollywood with elaborate video pranks, and Tana for throwing a disastrous vlogger convention called TanaCon — together, their chaotic energy was off the charts. So in early January, I rejoiced over the revelation that I could expel this nightmarish couple from my mind palace. But as it turns out, my celebration may have been premature.
Yesterday, Tana was spotted on what Hollywood Life called an “intimate lunch date” in Los Angeles with a person who has taken this relationship to historic levels of cursedness: Logan Paul, as in Jake’s older brother, who also happens to be a YouTube star. While the two seemingly didn’t engage in any sloppy lip locking or hand holding — typically, incontrovertible proof of a budding romance — this shared meal certainly looked romantic. In photos of the lunch, Tana can be seen hugging Logan’s towering body, while he hunches to give her a kiss on the head.
Now, were other celebs to partake in this low level of PDA, I would perhaps be more skeptical of claims that they were into each other. Surely, a kiss on the head can be a platonic display of intimacy. But Tana and the Paul brothers are no normal celebs — in fact, it would be par for the course if Tana were to date Logan after dating Jake. (Or perhaps to pretend to date Logan after pretending to date Jake.) Also, this wouldn’t be the first instance of the brothers being involved with the same woman: In 2017, Jake revealed that his ex-girlfriend Alissa Violet had hooked up with Logan.
I guess you could say Tana — and the Logan brothers — have a type? Ugh.
