In a candid recount, singer Jesse Jo Stark shared the unexpected story of how she first met her now-partner, Yungblud—known offstage as Dom. Their connection began in the most modern of ways: a direct message. Yungblud reached out, inviting her to be part of one of his music videos, a gesture that would ultimately change both of their lives.

At the time, Jesse had just undergone laparoscopic surgery, but she decided to accept the opportunity, hoping to be more open to new experiences. During their first conversation, Yungblud pitched his vision for the video, mentioning chains and pit bulls. Though she had no idea who he was at the time, she was struck by his unapologetic punk-rock spirit and the way he encouraged her to embrace her surgical scars—something she found incredibly endearing.

On set, Jesse had to set boundaries due to her recent surgery, including no water scenes or kissing. Yet Yungblud’s creative energy was impossible to resist; despite the restrictions, he placed her in a bathtub and even asked her to bite his lip during the shoot. What could have been an awkward moment instead became the spark of something deeper.

Reflecting on the beginning of their relationship, Jesse described Yungblud’s magnetic personality as the kind that makes people want to be around him “24/7.” What started as a simple DM evolved into a love story defined by authenticity, rebellion, and the kind of connection that can only be found when two artists collide.
