Popular anime content creators Joey Bizinger (TheAnimeMan) and Agnes Diego (Akidearest) are officially married, tying the knot in Japan following their high-profile engagement in May 2025. The ceremony marks a major personal milestone for the couple, celebrating a decade-long journey together as two of the internet’s most recognizable pop-culture figures.
The couple’s relationship first begins in 2016 through YouTube direct messages, evolving from an online friendship into a romance while navigating a long-distance relationship.
Their eventual move to Japan proves pivotal for both their personal lives and creative careers. Over the past decade, both creators expand their international followings Bizinger as a co-host of the hit podcast Trash Taste and founder of his apparel label Nonsense, and Diego as a lifestyle and pop-culture vlogger boasting nearly 3 million YouTube subscribers.
Bizinger proposes to Diego at their home in May 2025, choosing to keep the proposal personal rather than filming it for content. He later shares details of the moment with fans, humorously admitting to misjudging Diego’s ring size a lighthearted detail warmly received across the creator community.
Leading up to the big day, Diego provides fans with a behind-the-scenes look at their planning process through her vlog, “I’m Getting Married in Japan (VENUE TOUR),” detailing the unique logistics involved in organizing a wedding in Japan as international digital creators.
The wedding gathers prominent international creators, friends, and family in Japan, standing as one of the most celebrated social gatherings within the global anime, vlogging, and streaming communities. Fans worldwide continue to share congratulations for the newlyweds as they begin their next chapter as husband and wife.
