Courtney Miller and Shayne Topp, cast members of the hit YouTube comedy channel Smosh, have announced they are married.

However, fans were skeptical as the announcement was made on April 1 or April Fools’ Day (April 2 in Philippine time). 

Is it just an elaborate prank? 

Miller and Topp’s fellow castmates, Smosh crew, and other digital creators were quick to offer their congratulations on their posts, but fans doubted if they were just part of what they assume was an elaborate bit, which Smosh is known for.

Following their announcement, Smosh on Instagram also posted the uncensored clip of Miller from the “Courtney Miller Addresses Her Offensive Video” episode of Flashback with Smosh series uploaded on the main channel on March 2. 

In the clip, Miller was revealed to be saying, “You’re gonna have to bleep this out, but I’m getting married… I’m getting f*****g married!”

Nope, it’s not a prank

Miller confirmed she and Topp indeed got married on March 29, in an article published by People.com on April 3 (April 4 in PH time). 

“Shayne and I indeed got married on March 29th, at the Santa Barbara Courthouse,” she was quoted as saying in the article. 

“It's so wonderful to be married to my best friend.”

She also said making the announcement on April Fools’ Day was part of their plan, and that  they enjoyed people’s reactions. 

Kenn Miller, Courtney’s father, also confirmed the news on April 4. 

“ So happy and proud to announce my beautiful daughter Courtney’s marriage to Shayne Topp. They eloped at the Santa Barbara Court House on March 29th. ❤️,” he wrote.

He followed it up with another post on April 6 welcoming Topp into their family. 

“Glad the cats finally out of the bag. Even though it feels like he’s been part of the family for a while, want to issue a formal family welcome to the Miller clan. Love you bud,” he wrote.

Miller and Topp became regular Smosh cast members in 2015, and have been shipped together by fans over the years. 

Prior to being casted on Smosh, Miller used to post content on Vine. 

Meanwhile, Topp played various roles in Nickelodeon and Disney shows, including "iCarly" and "So Random!" among others. He also played a recurring character on ABC's "The Goldbergs" that ended in 2023.

While the couple have been private about their private life, including details of how their ship turned real, Miller said they will “continue to share what we feel comfortable with in our own time.”
