NikkieTutorials Opens Up About Support From Fiance Dylan Before Uploading Coming Out Video

Nikkie de Jager, aka NikkieTutorials, will be on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, airing TODAY (January 22)!

The 25-year-old makeup YouTuber sat down with Ellen to talk about her coming out video, the support from her mom and fiance, and hoping to inspire others.

“I remember uploading the video, I was like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna do it,’ and I started crying,” Nikkie shared. “And my fiance Dylan was right next to me, and he was like, ‘You can do it. You can do it.’ So he really pushed me to post it, and he was like, ‘We’re gonna get through this, you’re going to be okay. You’re gonna do this.’”

During her appearance, Ellen also surprised Nikkie with a $10k donation to The Trevor Project in her name.
