Stevin John, the real person behind Blippi, is a 33-year-old man. He has gained massive popularity among children by dressing colorfully and playing the role of a high-pitched funny man who teaches children about colors, trucks, and other topics.
His content has piqued people’s interest in his sexual orientation. Many people wonder if Steve John is gay, but he is a cis-gender Straight man who uses the pronoun ‘he/his.’
However, his controversial past has caused parents to reconsider allowing their children to watch his channel.
Blippi’s Life Before And After
Stephen J. Grossman, also known as Blippi, has 12.8 million YouTube subscribers. But what was his life like before he became famous and wealthy?
Blippi used to go by his real name, Stevin John, long before he became famous. He began his professional career as a video editor and marketing consultant. His concept of video editing and marketing was extremely beneficial in establishing his YouTube content and career.
His YouTube journey began when he noticed his 2-year-old nephew watching YouTube. This inspired John to launch his own YouTube channel.
So he made a colorful custom and began filming himself doing things his nephew would watch on YouTube. We believe that a portion of his success should be attributed to his nephew, who was a driving force behind John’s ability to amass a fortune.
Uncomfortable Past Behaviors
Even though children adore Blippi and his content keeps them entertained and educated. Certain aspects of a 33-year-past old’s cannot be forgotten, and have caused parents to reconsider their children’s source of entertainment.
He couldn’t keep his previous activities hidden from the internet for long. Buzzfeed discovered a video of him doing some unsavory activities in 2019, which enraged all of his parents and the internet. People are still able to watch the internet video despite Blippi’s efforts to remove it.
During an interview with BuzzFeed, he expressed his regret and stupidity for his actions. He said-
“At the time, I thought it was funny, but it was actually stupid and tasteless, and I regret doing it.”
I’ve matured a lot since then, and I hope people will remember me as the person I am now, rather than the idiot I was back then.”
We fully respect his decision to leave his past behind, which is why we will not be posting any screenshots or reactions on the subject. Even though Blippi has made mistakes in the past, he continues to entertain children and strives to be a better person every day.
What happened to him?
In reality, Blippi is not a child, and he has a personal life as well. He is not married, but he has a long-term relationship with his girlfriend.
These two lovebirds occasionally post about each other on social media and appear to be in LOVE.
We wish and pray for these two adorable lovebirds to marry and start a family one day. John has recently decided to take a step back and only make videos on his YouTube channel on occasion. While we can still find Blippi on the channel, Stevin does not play the character.
Instead, a new performer has been hired to play the role to the greatest extent possible, while John handles the channel’s pre-and post-production.
When the new Blippi has introduced 7 weeks ago, parents and fans did not seem to like the idea, and, you guessed it, they did not hold back in expressing their opinions and emotions.
Here’s an Instagram post from when the ‘new Blippi’ was introduced, and fans had some amusing reactions in the comments. However, the parents appear to have gotten the hang of the new Blippi and appear to be enjoying the new performer. It doesn’t matter what the kids are doing as long as they are entertained and educated.
