Jacob Cruikshank Bio

Jacob Cruikshank was a normal school going kid before he started his YouTube channel in Mid-2013 when he was just twelve years old. Starting a career this early, even before hitting his teen, certainly changed his life. The normal kid and the younger brother of the popular teenage director, actor and YouTube star, Lucas Cruikshank, was now going to be something more and with his hard work he has actually been able to enjoy popularity across the world.

In the beginning of 2017, the-then fifteen year old Jacob declared himself openly as “gay”. He revealed his sexuality to his family and Snapchat followers, which certainly created some controversy. Afterwards, Lucas, his elder brother, who is also a gay, came up with a video “my brother’s gay too?” which confirmed that what Jacob had said to his followers was nothing less than serious.

However, according to some critics, fifteen years is too early to actually realize one’s true sexuality, even if the person is a celebrity and it might be nothing more than a good publicity stunt to increase his followers and fan base. On the other hand, Lucas has made it clear in his video that in the family everyone was already aware that Jacob is a gay.

Jacob Cruikshank was born on March 11, 2001, in Nebraska, USA, to Dave and Molly Cruikshank. He has a happy family of ten members, including his parents, 5 sisters and 2 brothers, Lucas and Ethan. His mother is an obstetrics nurse and his father is an executive engineer. Jacob’s parents are sincere and serious about how their kids spend their money and they keep an overall track of the lifestyle of their children. Just like his brother Lucas, for Jacob as well, his family works as the main support behind his success. His siblings are very supportive of him and Jacob always looks up to them. His family has also happily accepted the fact that he is a gay.
