Jennifer "Jen" Flagg was born on October 28, 1990, also in Connecticut. Her parents divorced when she was young. She grew up in the same town as Julianelle and they met when they were in high school and both volunteered for their local humane society. Flagg went to college in California before moving to Jacksonville with Julianelle.[3]

Julianelle was arrested in May 2021 for domestic battery accusation of his ex-girlfield, Eleni, after they published conflicting stories.[10] He was also arrested in June 2022 for assault with a deadly weapon.[11]

In November 2022, Julianelle was arrested for "breach of peace by three or more persons and criminal conspiracy" after he and another man helped film an accomplice running onto the field during a Raiders-Jaguars game at EverBank Stadium.[12][13]

In March 2024, Julianelle pled guilty to assaulting a police officer, resisting with violence, and possession of marijuana. He did not get jail time and instead received 12 months probation.[14] He had been approached by a police officer while sleeping on the side of a street after "having too much to drink" to do a wellness check. They searched his backpack and found "weed and a ton of Fireball" and, after being placed in handcuffs, tried to flee the scene. Julianelle was charged again in February 2025 with violating his parole after a urine sample was found to have traces of drugs.[15]
