MEET Isaiah, Zashia and Yarelis. Zashia is Isaiah’s mom and Yarelis is his girlfriend. The couple have been together for a year and a half and neither felt nervous about her meeting his mom. Isaiah said: “They clicked immediately. And they've been close ever since.” The mother and son describe their relationship as being like best friends and Zashia describes Yarelis as being like a daughter. Zashia has been creating content for years and it was only recently that the trio decided to film and post videos altogether. For the most part, the response to their content together and separately has been very positive but one video in particular garnered a lot of attention. Yarelis said: “The first time we [she and Zashia] wore matching outfits, it was just really crazy. It went viral. So many negative comments. We thought it was cute?!” Some comments accused Isaiah of having ‘mommy issues’ and that his mom was ‘his type’. Isaiah said: “If someone tells me I have mommy issues, I just think they dislike their mom.” Zashia added: “I don't understand why it has to go there because when a woman has a good father figure in her life and tries to find a man that is like her father because he was such a good father, a good man, that’s not weird - that's fine. But when a mother is a good mother, a good woman, a good provider… Shows love, shows care, shows compassion - then it's weird.” They have decided to use the attention to their advantage to create more fun, popular content together, ignore the haters and the ridiculous comments while continuing to be a strong, happy family.
02:41Yeah. And like the good thing that I love is that me and Zasha are the same size, so I'll be in her closet.
02:47Listen, my Fashion Nova closet, she...
02:50I'm in there.
02:51In there. In there. And she's like, oh, this is... oh, okay.
02:54This is so cute.
02:55The first time we wore like matching outfits, it was just really crazy.
02:59It went viral. It went viral.
03:01So many negative comments.
03:03We thought it was cute.
03:04We thought it was cute.
03:06People did not think that.
03:07Yeah, no.
03:08It was not okay.
03:09At all.
03:10At all.
03:11So what we're doing today, we thought it would be fun to do another TikTok video together in a matching outfit to see what we can get.
03:19Yeah.
03:21What controversial comments can we get today?
03:25I started posting online in 2012. I've been doing this for a very, very long time.
03:31We first did a video together like two months ago.
03:39Look.
03:40Matching again.
03:41Look.
03:42It's cute.
03:43Today we're asking my son and his girlfriend old school terms to see if they can... they know what it is.
03:49Okay.
03:50Burn a CD.
03:51Okay.
03:52No, she lost it.
03:54She was like, uh-uh, no, absolutely not. Burn a CD.
03:58Burn a CD.
03:59Like, lose all evidence?
04:01Lose all evidence is crazy.
04:04Floppy disk.
04:06Floppy disk.
04:07A game.
04:08Floppy disk.
04:09A game.
04:10Floppy disk.
04:11Oh, you said you want the, the, the... no.
04:13And it has two circles?
04:14I don't know.
04:15Alright.
04:16It was not that bad.
04:18Oh.
04:19Beep.
04:20First off, do we like how we look?
04:22Is this good?
04:23No, yeah.
04:24Is it giving to matchy-matchy?
04:26The response has been really good to our content.
04:29I feel like most of the content.
04:32Yeah.
04:33Yeah.
04:34It depends on what it is.
04:35We've gotten a lot of negativity out of, like, for our relationship from the public.
04:40I feel like as far as my and my son's relationship, we get a lot of negativity because they think
04:46we're too close.
04:47So some of the crazy comments that people leave.
04:50What in the Sigmund Freud?
04:52This dude definitely has weird mommy issues.
04:55So you're basically your son's type.
04:58I don't understand why it has to go there.
05:00Because when a woman or when a young lady has a good father figure in her life, goes and tries to find a man that is like her father because he was such a good father, a good man.
05:15That's not weird.
05:16That's fine.
05:17But when a mother is a good mother, a good woman, a good provider, shows love, shows care, shows compassion for her son to find someone with those characteristics.
05:30It's very common for, like, the parents not to like the son-in-law or the daughter-in-law, you know?
05:37Yeah.
05:38They push the parents, push the kids away when we can just all be one big family.
05:42Yeah.
05:43That's how that works.
05:44If someone tells me I have mommy issues, I just think they dislike their mom.
05:49Honestly, I just try not to let the comments get to me because I know my relationship with my mom and my girlfriend.
05:56Like, for every negative comment, there's like 10 positives.
06:00So, thank you guys.
06:03And this is my wife, Taylor.
06:06Hey, look.
06:07We've been together a couple of years now and she is a big part of this family.
06:12Huge.
06:13I think Zosia and Isaiah, their relationship, they're very close.
06:17They're like best friends for real.
06:19It's beautiful to see.
06:20How would you describe me?
06:21Almost like my older sister.
06:23That's the vibe, honestly.
06:25That's the vibe?
06:26How would you describe me?
06:29You know, it's like a daughter.
06:31You're a daughter to me, for sure.
06:33In a good way.
06:35If I had to describe my family, I'd just say that we're cool, fun, funny, amazing.
06:41I feel like it's a safe space.
06:43We are open.
06:44We're able to talk about everything.
06:46Yeah, we're really close.
06:48Everyone says that me and Yerenice look alike.
06:50What do you think?
06:51No.
06:55It's annoying, actually.
06:56Like, we get a lot of hate comments, but to see them getting hate comments, it like, eats me alive.
07:03It really upset Taylor to a different level.
07:06There's a comment that came up and it made us laugh.
07:10It was the looks like incest type of, and I'm just like, y'all are really reaching.
07:17Y'all are dumb.
07:18So, it's, yeah, it's funny.
07:21Yeah, it's funny.
07:22I feel like the only thing you really can do is laugh it off.
07:24As for the future of this family, especially with Yerenice and my son, I try my best to guide them in the way where it can be something that lasts forever, you know?
07:36I just hope that in the future that we continue to do what we are doing and let nothing or no one change us.
