Personal Life
Felix Kjellberg was born on October 24th, 1989 and currently lives with his girlfriend, Marzia, and their pugs named Maya and Edgar in 36-39 Western Street Brighton, England, but are currently moving.
He originates from Gothenburg, Sweden. He is the son of Liam Kjellberg and Johanna Kjellberg, Vice president of the clothing company KappAhl, and has a sister named Signe. His ancestors came from Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland, and he is also descended from king Eric IX of Sweden and other royals. He graduated from high school in Gothenburg. Afterwards, Felix began college at Chalmers University of Technology and left in 2011.
Marzia and Felix began dating around October of 2011. She learned of Felix when Marzia's best friend watched PewDiePie on YouTube at the end of May and shared the videos with her. Marzia found Felix really funny and wrote to him at the end of June. He responded back and they started communicating for a while on Facebook until Felix visited her in Italy in August, and then in September as well as October. After Marzia's birthday, she moved to Sweden to live with him.
On March 28th, 2012, Felix did his first newspaper interview with the Swedish site Expressen.se, in which he noted his intention to have a full-time job and while making YouTube videos as a secondary job as well as moving to Italy with Marzia.[citation needed]
While still living in Sweden, Felix and Marzia went overseas to Los Angeles for the first time.[1]
Following Felix's move to San Paolo, Italy, he stayed as a guest in Marzia's parents' house.
On November 30th, 2012, he noted in a video of going aboard to Brighton with Marzia from December 3rd to December 7th.[2] On February 7th 2013, they arrived in New York City after Marzia received an invitation toFashion Week and met up to hang out with fellow YouTubers Anthony Padilla and Kalel.[3] The four of them went to the Museum of Modern Art, saw the movie "Mama" and played at the arcade.[4]
Felix announced in an impromptu video monologue on March 11th, 2013 of saddening news about the death of his grandfather, who suffered from prolonged skeletal cancer, and was returning to Sweden for the funeral rites.[5] He also made mention of plans of going to Los Angeles at the end of March to stay for a month as well as searching along with Marzia for a permanent residence in the United Kingdom.[5]
While in Los Angeles, Felix participated in being part of a few video projects on the YouTube channelTheFineBros and was in an episode of Internet Icon. A party was hosted by Felix in Los Angeles to celebrate the growth of his channel to 6,000,000 subscribers and invited anyone interested in attending.[6] The party was on April 4th, 2013 with some guests in attendance that included YouTubers Ken[7], TJ[7], Toby Turner[7] andOlga Ray[7], Chester See[8], Davey Wavey[8] Tayrn Southern[8], Seth Hendrix[8], and Jacksfilms[8].
Felix was nominated in the category of social media for the Social Star Awards 2013. As the live ceremony would take place on May 23rd, 2013 at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, he and Marzia took the opportunity to go.[9] He won and received the Social Media Show Award.
For the summer of 2013, he and Marzia left Italy to stay in the United Kingdom for 3 months. Felix cited reasons behind the move; such as necessity for personal space (as both himself and Marzia have been staying in the home of her parents in Italy) and also slow internet was interfering with the upload rate of his YouTube videos.[10]
In late 2013, Felix was filmed for a part in YouTube Rewind: What Does 2013 Say?, along with fellow YouTubers Tobuscus, Ian and Anthony, Jenna Marbles, iJustine, and many others in California; however Pewds himself was filmed by a skeleton crew in Brighton, and thus was not present for the actual filming. In an interview, Nate Houghteling, one of the people from Portal A, the company responsible for producing the video, said that PewDiePie was actually kind of a last minute addition to the video
