Colleen Mae Ballinger, an American comedian, YouTuber, actress, singer, and writer, was born on November 21, 1986.
She gained fame online as Miranda Sings, developing and starring in the Netflix original series Haters Back Off (2016–2017), performing her one-woman comedy act on tour in theaters all over the world, and releasing videos of the character on YouTube. Ballinger invented the delightfully untalented, pompous, and eccentric persona to parody the numerous YouTube videos of amateur singers trying to break into the entertainment industry but who don’t seem to realize their lack of aptitude.
Ballinger has a personal YouTube channel as well as a vlog channel called Colleen Vlogs where she posts comedic and lifestyle videos. Her YouTube channels have amassed more than 5 billion views in total. More than 10 million people subscribe to the Miranda Sings YouTube channel, and the persona has more than 13 million TikTok and 6 million Instagram followers.
Ballinger earned a Streamy Award for Best Actress and a Teen Choice Award for “Web Star: Comedy.” She was chosen by The Hollywood Reporter as one of its Top 25 Digital Stars, and she was listed as the No. 5 top entertainment influencer in 2017 by Forbes magazine.
Ballinger has made theater, television, recordings, and web series appearances as an actress and vocalist. Among other talk shows, she guest-starred as Miranda Sings on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld (2014), played Dawn in the Broadway production of Waitress (2019), participated in the web series Escape the Night (2018–2019), and had three appearances on The Tonight Show (2016–2017). In Miranda’s voice, Ballinger has also authored two best-selling books: Selp-Helf (2015) and My Diarrhe (2018). Erik Stocklin, an actor, is her husband.
Who is Joshua David Evans, Colleen Ballinger’s first husband?
Ballinger was married to the content creator and editor Joshua David Evans.
Fans are aware that the former couple originally met in 2009, and once they began dating in 2012, we all were fixated on their romance. They became engaged in 2014, and they wed in July 2015. But the influencer admitted that things haven’t been easy for him ever since they parted, a little over a year after they exchanged vows.
When Colleen Ballinger and Joshua David Evans made the decision to divorce in October 2016, we were all very shocked. Before that, they were seriously couple goals, and we’ve all been curious about what happened to them for a long time.
Joshua says he’s finally going, to tell the truth about his relationship with Colleen. He originally uploaded a 12-minute video on August 7 but took it down hours later. Some fans were quick to save it before he did.
The vlogger said he’s ready to “fight for myself” again. He revealed he was tired of people telling him he was only famous because he was married to Ballinger.
I’m tired of sitting in a room shutting the door not wanting to turn on a camera or live my life because I’m afraid of what people on the internet are gonna say about me. You have no idea what really happened. But guess what? I’m about to tell you, he said.
I’ll continue to make videos and update you on this information. For myself, I want to live and thrive.
