Who is Josh Richards?
Josh Richards is a TikTok star and actor from Canada. Following his first breakthrough on TikTok, Richards moved on to establish himself as a YouTuber and Instagram star. The 18-year-old rising celebrity recently made headlines for his romance with TikTok actress Nessa Barrett.
What Caused Josh Richards and Nessa Barrett’s Breakup?
On June 18, 2020, Richards and his girlfriend of almost six months,
Barrett announced their split in a YouTube video titled “We Broke up.”
Josh’s self-titled YouTube channel featured a video of the ex-lovebirds seated on the floor facing the camera.
“So, basically, Josh and I split up,” Nessa says at the beginning of the video.
She went on to claim that they decided to divorce in order to focus on themselves and their careers.
She went on to say:
“We did long distance for over a year and it was pretty public, so I think we didn’t realize how serious it was.”
Meanwhile, Josh stated that they kept their romance quiet for a few months due to the uncertainty of their relationship.
He went on to say that he and Nessa chose to go public with
their separation after reports about their relationship began to circulate on the internet.
Josh emphasizes in the video that they were truly in a relationship,
but there are no hard feelings following the breakup.
Furthermore, he stated that they would remain friends after the divorce.
Josh declared his love for Barrett on Instagram.
Josh and Nessa Barrett were rumored to be dating for quite some time
before the former revealed their relationship on Instagram in January 2020.
Josh previously tweeted a snapshot of Barrett sitting on his lap. In the caption, he wrote “Mine.”
Nessa had also proclaimed their romance on Instagram, but she canceled her account shortly afterward.
In the meantime, Nessa reactivated her Instagram account and shared a romantic pair shot with the message “Mine forever.”
They began dating in October 2019.
A few weeks after Josh made their relationship public,
he posted a video on his YouTube account in which he and Nessa answered fans’ questions about their relationship.
When a fan questioned when they started dating, Richards replied that their first date was on October 19.
Meanwhile, one of their followers inquired as to why they had kept their romance hidden for so long.
In response to the inquiry, Josh stated that he was the one who wanted
to keep their relationship private because he wanted to ensure that Nessa was as serious as he was.
He went on to say that he knew he wanted to be with Nessa,
but he wasn’t sure “whether she wanted that too or if it was just a fling.”
On Instagram, Josh celebrated his six-month anniversary with Nessa.
On April 19, 2020, Richards announced on Instagram that he and
his then-girlfriend Nessa had been together for six months.
Josh posted a few of their images, as well as Nessa’s single and a short video showing the duo. He wrote in the caption:
“Happy 6-month birthday, moms!” You are everything to me. I adore you, Janesa Barrett.”
Here’s the link to the post:
Josh Richards, a TikTok star and actor, is single as of late June 2020.
He is not known to be dating anyone since his divorce from Nessa.
Because the young celebrity is open about his personal life on social media, we anticipate he will disclose
information about his girlfriend if he gets back into a relationship in the near future.
