Jessie’s love for interior decor began when she was a child raised in a small town in North Carolina. Together with her mom, her designs from a young age received acclaim from family and friends.

At the age of 12, she decorated her room with Moroccan-inspired pieces ditching the butterfly stickers and wallpapers of celebrities that were preferred by her peers at the time.

Who Is Link Neal’s wife Christy?

Among Rhett and Link, the latter has the most private life. Christy is very private, and there seems to be a reason for that. She runs an Instagram page that is set to private. Christy’s very private life could be due to an accident she suffered years ago, which greatly affected her life and her relationship with Link.

In the podcast, Christy revealed that she sustained a brain injury when she was leaving somewhere in a rush and accidentally walked into a tree branch. The experience caused her and her family a lot of stress and anxiety. Before the injury, she was homeschooling her children but had to stop as she was bedridden after the injury.

When Christy was ready to share her experience, Link utilized his social platforms, where he has a huge following to create awareness.

Are Rhett and Link’s Wives Friends?

Due to the closeness between Rhett and Link, their fans often wonder if their wives share the same close relationship. The duo is very private and does not seem to be too interested in sharing in their husband’s fame. As a result, it is difficult to determine the level of closeness that they share. One sure thing is that they are not enemies.

Are Rhett and Link Still Friends?

Before Rhett and Link became YouTube sensations, they were simply two lads who became friends on their first day at Buies Creek Elementary School in Buies Creek, Harnett County, North Carolina. As first graders, they had a lot in common, including their passion for creating and acting out funny skits.

But elementary school won’t be the only place they’ll attend together. In the years that followed, Rhett and Link attended the same middle school, followed by high-school at Harnett Central High School.

Following their graduation from high school, they both proceeded to North Carolina State University. Even at NCSU, they shared the same apartment and studied to be engineers.

Although they had co-executed several projects together since they were fourteen, Rhett and Link eventually went the way of a corporate career after graduating from college. Rhett pursued a career in Civil Engineering, working with Black and Veatch, while Link followed his expertise as an Industrial Engineer at IBM.

However, that career path didn’t stand for long as they both saw greater opportunities in the then-new platform YouTube. They soon quit their jobs to pursue a comedy career and establish five YouTube channels that today boast millions of views and subscribers.

Rhett & Link are bestselling authors too. Their book, Book of Mythicality: A Field Guide to Curiosity, Creativity, and Tomfoolery, was published by Crown Archetype. The duo has received at least twelve distinguished awards, seven nominations, and seven honors.

Rhett and Link continue to work together and remain best buddies. Among other projects, the duo is primarily focused on their talk show Good Mythical Morning which launched in 2011.
