She's literally NOT his though. That's the only part that creeps me out. Autumn already HAS a dad - her biological father. And he's clearly not a POS since Gloria makes it a point to allow him to see his daughter and co-parent incredibly freely, and he clearly has a relationship with Autumn. THAT is who Autumn's dad is. Her dad isn't a drunk, absentee parent who wants nothing to do with her - he loves her. She's his daughter and he's her dad. Not this Brandon.
Omg seriously??? Brandon who are you? You’re like every girl’s dream man. Such a great guy!! & Gloria smh wow!! You guys are amazing. Please stay together forever. Give me hope lol
I don't know why you thought we would be disappointed in your love story. DUDE YOUR STORY WAS SO REALISTIC ITS AMAZING. Its not that boy meet girl, fell in love, happily ever after. That fairytale nonsense, no. This is true love where it was built years beforehand and you know it will be strong because it wasn't forced and you waited for it, you've earned it. Your story is amazing, its like everything was meant to happen for the both of you to meet, be best friends, split, be together and be happy. I'm so happy for the both of you and Autumn, thank you for just existing
Believe me your daughter will thank you one day when she’s older for removing her from a toxic situation. It’s ok to be happy your daughter deserves a happy mom. Just know you did the right thing ..you’re a good mom
Kendyl lester it’s okay as in she doesn’t need to feel guilty about it... she considers it selfish but it was definitely the right decision and Brandon is an amazing father figure and their daughter is clearly super happy
@@elsaguely2338 She updated her comment. When I replied to it, all she said was "Ok...." and something else (I think). So I just wanted to know what she meant by "OK...". Not what is there now.
YES! I was like "what the heck?! That's too long! I'mma be skipping through that." Nope. Watched the entire thing with my assortment of snacks. I laughed, I cried, and I regained any respect I lost for them after that story about getting high in the theater. HAHA! And then some
Brandon is an amazing guy. To step back to let her figure out her relationship when he felt what he felt is the hardest thing to do. I’m so glad it worked out for you both
The fact that Brandon was willing to hold back his feelings and wait as long as he did to make someone he loved feel happy day in n day out is just amazing
My little mom heart just completely melted when you said you watched videos about infant CPR. Call me weird but I think that is pretty endearing. You might think of it as being clueless but just the fact that you wanted to take that step and was so serious about it shows a lot about your character. I love that so much. 😊 Gloria, girl, you definitely landed a catch.
@@hannahware3751 its all about effort. You have to expose your feelings. Ive been friendzoned 3 times. Only 1 of those became a relationship. But you're totally right.
@@annaabney1420 Knowing you're not "like that" and still staying because you value your friend and your friendship, even though you'd rather be "like that," actually means a WHOLE lot. You don't wait four or more years (if I'm keeping up with the story) to get some and get gone. If you stick around, it's because, knowing what are and what are not your options, that's where you want to be. Granted there may be somebody out there who's that anal that they can't be thwarted and they have to "win," but most people are mostly sincere and dumb, and just want to be where they're (comparatively) happy. I mean, I'm a real pessimist, even more than you, Anna, and I get why there's a friend zone.
Every time I walk behind someone I say “right behind you”. That’s another thing I notice everyone who’s worked in a restaurant, namely kitchen areas does.
Seeing Gloria share her emotions like this just lets me know exactly how empathetic she really is even though so often she hides behind the humor. Brandon loving her is so obvious in some of the old videos they did together and having them tell this story makes so much of the old stuff make sense.
You say this isn't a love story. But really this is the greatest love story I have heard. You were and are more for each other then just the person you're dating. You created that trust, you build a friendship, and the love was the bonus on a relationship that was already worth being in. So, I think, this is the best love story ever.
My husband and I met when I was 12 & he was 13. We dated in Jr high. Broke up but kept in touch here and there. I always felt that we would one day end up back together. I had a child when I was 18 from my ex. And I remember thinking how my husband and I would never be together again. After several years of being miserable band trying to make it work with my son's father. I finally left him. By this time, my ex was in a relationship and had a child of his own. Which made very sad. And I started working and going to school. Years passed and finally at 26 we ended up together, had our own child and ended up married. We been married for 12 years. I'm now 41 and my husband will be 42 in a few Weeks. So blessed and happy . And everything worked out
So it's not me but my niece's story. So she broke up with her baby daddy and fiance of 2 years. They separated for 7 months. They just got back together 2 weeks ago and now they are getting married in 2 weeks! So it took her guy 7 months and he realized what he was missing and now he knows what he wants and they are back together and I'm so happy my boy is back! Last week she too said she found her human, like I have found my human! Update: They are married and she is expecting their second child!
An ancient Chinese proverb says, “an invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, regardless of the time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but never break.”
Did anyone else half expect the camera to pan to see Cam had been sitting there the whole time and it ends with him saying 'awwww you guys!' I know Cam couldn't have kept quiet for that length of time but it would have been epic 😆
He's not though. Unless he marries autumn's mom, he's always going to be "my mommy's boyfriend" to Autumn. If he marries her mom, then he becomes "my step-dad" to her. And even then, he's not her dad - she has a dad already, her biological father.
@@jasonvargas7564 Are you in their life? Didn't think so. Stop acting like you know everything about them. It is very appearance by the video and several other videos that they have posted, that Autumn views him as a father figure.
@@jasonvargas7564 bruh what. Brandon is her dad. He may not be her biological father, but he’s her dad. He’s raised her. She clearly loves him and her family. He is and always will be her dad.
I'm not a hugger, even though I'm told I give the vest hugs, but I want to hug the two of you. In a world that is losing so much hope, you two manage to shine a light.
Trashcan Stories living in Alaska could be hard at times, try driving to work with no studs on your car. Try shoveling off snow off your car and shoveling all the snow in the driveway. And dealing with the cold and ice and the amount of daylight. Some people get depressed because of not seeing the daylight for a long period of time. It's hard living in Alaska.
@@user-sn2uk4xn7t if it means anything, I appreciated the comment. I was put off on the fact my joke was taken as if I was serious, and like I was being scolded like a child by a total stranger.
I saw this video was over an hour and laughed. Like yeah right, I'm going to watch the whole thing 😒 Now here I am, an hour later totally invested and happy my kid is asleep so I could watch it all uninterrupted with snacks I didn't have to share.
When she started crying and said because he was my person I wanted to share everything with I cried so hard and then when he said that that was my baby and you drive horrible. Stick a fork in me I was done
I’m surprised that no one pointed out one of the cutest thing in this amazing video is the fact that they where holding hands almost the entire time 🥰🤗
40 minutes in, I shed a few tears, 50 minutes in, I'm ugly crying. I can't finish right now, 53 minutes and I'm too emotional. Gloria, you are so strong, I'm glad your papa realized that he needed to say those words to you. I look forward to listening to the rest in a while. Brandon, you are the best. Everyone should take a page from your book of friendship and love into their hearts, the world would be a better place. And now I'm crying again 😭😂
Not disappointed this is the coolest love story! Love you both! Maria Gloria you are beautiful ❤️. Brandon you are seriously the white a knight (the white legged knight).
I did not realize how far back their relationship went. And I've always found it sweet that Brandon claims Autumn as his, but it's like she really is, like he has known her her whole life and even when him and Gloria weren't a couple he viewed her as "his baby" that is just so incredible. And all of this is made even like sweeter and stuff now that they have a son together. It's just so funny how life works out.
I just want to say at the beginning Gloria said we would be disappointed I would like to say I AM IN NO WAY DISAPPOINTED AND I FEEL SO BAD FOR THEM AFTER THE WHOLE STORY
Brandon sold everything he owned to move to California, and his doodlers made sure he had everything he could ever want and more by sending him so much stuff! That’s kinda cool.
Been thinking about this love story since I watched it hours ago. I’ve been trying to process why it has stuck with me so. I hope they don’t really feel like they’re disappointing their fans with their story. This is a REAL love story, an adult grown-up love story. The best love stories are a long, difficult, enduring journey.
You didn’t disappoint!!! Kudos to Brandon for not being a jerk and preying on your vulnerability and making a move. I love how he always wanted autumn to be included! No lo pierdes Mija! God bless you three in everything you do!
This needs to be a movie. Just the way how everything got complicated but got into place eventually gives me the perfect romcom vibes. But its irl thing so its even better.
I can’t begin to describe how amazing this was. Like, so sweet, so real, so lovely. I cried. I laughed. I cried again. That is some serious #relationshipgoals
You guys are wrong.... this is the most beautiful love story! You gave each love and respect while also loving and respecting yourselves. It is amazing!
I have such a newfound respect and love for both of y’all. I found Brandon’s channel on Facebook one day and then started watching Gloria. I had no idea how amazingly awesome you guys are for each other. Brandon, you are so selfless and Gloria, you are so much more wise from your experiences. ❤️❤️
I expected to turn this on, but not last the entire time...but here I almost an hour and a half later, completely enamored. You guys are adorable and this story was adorable....Thanks for keeping it real!
Wow. Just wow. Y'all are great. I appreciate your willingness to be forward and open with your story. I also appreciate your restraint in leaving out a part that I'm sure so many people were curious about, out of respect for the people involved that could be hurt by the inclusion of such information. That is true strength. Wishing the two of you many years of happiness.
Wow. Maria really opened up in this podcast. I teared up for her. She had alot of serious decisions to make. I'm just glad she decided on Brandon. He's such a good dude. This is so different from watching the hilarious videos that Brandon makes. Im glad she's in a healthy relationship now (with one of the funniest people ever lol), and he totally loves Autumn. Brandon and Maria have such good souls. Im just happy they got together. I posted a "funny" comment about us gingers falling for the Latina ladies, but when I made that comment, I didn't watch the video through. So I'm sorry for sounding like a jerk. I can't wait to find my person.
I love hearing stories how God always puts us where we need to be when we need to be there. He put you in each others lives for a reason and that's a beautiful thing to see in action and working. He knows what and who we need in our life before we can even realize it. Trust in Father, He always knows best. He's ALWAYS 5 steps ahead of us making everything we need fall into place. We've just got to trust Him. I wish you both (well really adding Autumn in- the 3 of you) many more years of happiness and love together. God Bless. 💙🙏🏻
Omg! I literally cried most of this story it’s so beautiful, and u are so blessed to have had a strong minded person like Brandon who knew his part and feelings yet dealt with everything in the right way. And through everything destiny brought y’all back together some how! So beautiful 😭💜
Coming from a very traditional Mexican family I feel Gloria's pain. No one in my family has been divorced, and I split from my ex after 6 years. It was one of the most painful things I have done, because it feels like giving up and quitting when in reality its mostly self preservation. If I would have stayed like all of my family members I would have been unhappy. Getting to that mentality of "my happiness is worth more than this traditional relationship white picket fence vision" is HARD!
I am still watching and Gloria, I know this is tough stuff but your side of the story might help someone else going through similar obstacles in life. ❤
Jear Desus this needs to be turned into a movie!! I literally haven’t cried in months because I’m one of those people that doesn’t cry, but my god did I sob watching this😭😭
I CAN FEEL HER PAIN... ALOT OF PARENTS GO THROUGH THE SAME PAIN.. THIS IS AS REAL AS IT GETS.. I LOVE THIS LOVEEE.. PLEASE STAY TOGETHER FOREVER... PERFECT MATCH! I APPLAUD GLORIA FOR BEING SOO STRONG AND I APLAUD BRANDON FOR BEING EVEN STRONGER FOR HER❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🧡❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🧡❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love you guys. So hard, but you did it the right way. That beautiful baby girl has 3 loving parents that's not a bad thing, and one day she will be an amazing big sister. That was huge. Much love guys.
Wow I really felt it in my heart when Gloria was speaking about pretty much sacrificing her own happiness to give her Daughter What she felt was best at that time. This has been one of the deepest and most interesting stories I have seen on RU-vid. It felt So real, I know it is a true story But I felt it was something refreshing to hear and see. There are so many fake stories on here That I quit watching story times completely! But I took a chance on this because I wanted to know how y'all met. Two people being their true self and sharing. None of that high energy, fake enthusiastic personality crap. Brandon I now know why Donation is So important to you as it is me. You had to live in your car....When some people Go through a hard time like that It makes you appreciate The Small things; It Makes you want to help others.
Still watching but how in the world did y'all think this world be disappointing. So far this story is so cute, especially since we also learn about how Brandon's bond with Autumn started as well. Y'all are so cute! Seriously!
*Omg i can't believe i watched this whole video lol i never watch stuff like this especially this long but i loved it. Wow true love. You guys are meant to be. I'm very happy for y'all. This story was real so you gotta respect it the honesty. If i had a question I wanna know what her ex thought of them being together lol. God bless* 🤗💞
Oh my gosh. I’m so glad all the craziness is over and you can just love each other and autumn together and be happy! You both deserve it so so so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I've watched this video before, but I just love how you two came together as friends. The timing was off sometimes, emotions were everywhere, cities and states were put between you, but no matter what you two stayed best friends through it all. You are definitely the exact definition of true friendship. I'm so happy for Autumn that she has 2 dads and how much Brandon loves her. I pray that I can find a man willing to take the time and energy to be not only a dad to my daughter but an example of how men should take care of their families and their baby girls no matter what. I'm so happy for you 3 at the time of this video but now 4, plus the keeeet, and the doggo. I love hearing your story.
