They often evoked their life as a couple.
In February 2016, as another YouTuber asked her what was the point in creating a TV reality show dedicated to their life couple, MissJirachi explained that her fans identified to them because they seemed "normal", a fact that a more elaborate staging might have spoiled. David Lafarge indicated that on a marketing level, videos tagged done as they were a couple seemed to have better results.
David Lafarge announced their separation on 2 December 2017,{{Cite news|url=http://www.purebreak.com/news/david-lafarge-et-missjirachi-la-rupture-qui-ne-laisse-presque-personne-insensible/141952|title=David Lafarge et MissJirachi, la rupture... qui ne laisse (presque) personne insensible 💔|work=purebreak.com|access-date=3 January 2018|language=fr}} while still making videos at her home where he lived.{{Cite news|url=http://www.programme-tv.net/news/buzz/167868-david-lafarge-pokemon-emu-c-est-fini-entre-miss-jirachi-et-moi-video/|title=David Lafarge Pokémon, ému : "C'est fini entre Miss Jirachi et moi" (VIDÉO)|date=2017-12-04|access-date=3 January 2018|language=fr}}
