Marzia has jetted off to Sweden for the holidays

Just days after PewDiePie announced he would be stepping back from YouTube next year, it appears he’s taken off to his native Sweden, after Marzia Kjellberg posted some fairytale shots from the country.

After a bit of a traumatic month that saw them risk a flooded home following some pretty epic storms, while also having their house in Japan robbed, the pair deserve a little downtime.

In shots uploaded to Instagram, Marzia – who married Pewds, real name Felix Kjellberg, earlier this year in a sweet ceremony – could be seen posing out the front of a delightful building.

Just look at that archway of festive greenery.




In another, she showed off some scenic shots, including the view from a perfectly placed window over the lit up river that ran through the town centre.

The caption simply was the Swedish flag, so we’ve got very little to go off here on why they’re in the city – but we wonder whether they’ve packed their bags to spend a little time in Casa Kjellberg for Christmas?

Her post comes after PewDiePie – who became the biggest YouTuber of all time, collecting a staggering 100million subscribers over the past decade thanks to his gaming and opinion videos – noted on Sunday: ‘I am taking a break from YouTube next year. I wanted to say it in advance because I made up my mind.’

‘I’m feeling very tired,’ he added. ‘I don’t know if you can tell. Just so you know, early next year I’ll be away for a little while.

‘I’ll explain that later but I wanted to give a heads up.’

He went on to explain his decision in a video last night, insisting he wasn’t quitting the platform, and wanting to clear up the reports.

He continued: ‘Since I’ve been given this opportunity to be a YouTuber, I decided I’m going to make the most out of it no matter what, and I’ve done that and I think a lot of my success comes from the fact that I’m so consistent on this platform.

‘The point is, I thought YouTube would be over for me. I thought I would last like two years or something like that, but here I am.

‘I don’t want to look at myself another 10 years in the future and I’ve done the exact same thing as I’ve done now.

‘Even though I really love and enjoy what I do, I don’t want to look back on my life 20 years later and be like, “Oh cool, I just did YouTube videos” and I never did anything else. That just seems kind of sad to me.’

The announcement comes after months of Felix being open about considering leaving the social media platform, warning fans in October ‘don’t tempt me’ when he spoke about deleting his account altogether.

‘I kind of question if the positive outweighs the negative,’ he added to the New York Times. ‘It’s a lot more than I think I signed up for.’

He then went on to delete his Twitter not long after, completely wiping his feed, before starting a new account with the same name to ensure that @pewdiepie wasn’t later taken by someone else.



Smart.

Meanwhile earlier this month the pair had to contend with having their house ransacked of their belongings.

Claiming ‘90%’ of her valuables were taken in the break in, Marzia took to social media to share an update with fans who were fuming on behalf of the beloved couple.

Pretty saddened by the whole event, Marzia said she realises what was taken was ‘materialistic’ but can’t deny the shock behind the incident.

‘Our house was broken into and they took 90% of my valuables, from my jewellery, to luxury good and special items I’ve been collecting over the years,’ she wrote. ‘It’s all gone.’

Marzia – who lives in Brighton with the YouTuber – continued: ‘I know it is very materialistic, and should be happy with what I was left/have. But I can’t hide the shock and sadness with all being taken away, just like that.’
