YouTuber and indie game publisher ‘videogamedunkey’ has revealed he and his wife, ‘Leahbee,’ are expecting their first child.
Many YouTube fans likely know videogamedunkey thanks to his witty video essays and surrounding all things video games – and while he usually tends to keep his personal life separate from his videos, he’s done a fair share of IRL content with his wife, Leahbee.

Now, three years after their marriage, the couple have announced they’re expecting their first child.
