TikTok's viral “Pookie” couple, Campbell and Jett Puckett, are having their first baby together.
In a video shared on her social media accounts, Campbell revealed that she was pregnant with her and Jett's baby. The footage begins with the couple, who live in Georgia, walking down the stairs of a home, before Jett cradles his wife's baby bump.
Along with a jumpsuit that was hanging outside, Campbell was shown wearing a tight dress and posing on a blanket, while her baby bump was adorned with flower petals. The video continued documenting other clips of the couple, who were wearing white suits together.
For example, one shot showed the couple exchanging a kiss, while another documented them hanging up their baby's ultrasound. Campbell's video ended with her husband hugging her from behind, before she noted that she will welcome her baby girl in November 2024.
She proceeded to celebrate the big news in the caption, writing, “Our biggest blessing…Baby Puckett is coming soon.”
In the comments of the TikTok video, many fans continued to congratulate the influencer, referring to her nickname “Pookie,” as her husband frequently calls her in his viral videos about her outfits.
“BABY POOKIE,” one wrote, while another added: “Baby Pookie is so lucky.”
Influencer Alix Earle also wrote: “OMG congratulations,” along with a pink heart emoji.
speaking toPeople, Campbell expressed how excited she and her husband are to become parents, noting that they've “always dreamed of it.” “Jett and I have been together for nine years, married for six, and I'm so excited to see him become a father; I've thought about it since I met him,” she explained.
In a joint statement, the couple also added: “Our life has been building up to this moment, and we couldn't be more excited and blessed to bring another life into the world. “We are ready for this next phase of our lives and this new purpose as parents.”
Over the past year, Jett and Campbell rose to fame on TikTok for regularly posting videos of them showing off their outfits. On Campbell's account, Jett has become an audience favorite for promoting his wife as she models her appearance while also affectionately calling her “Pookie.” In a video posted in January, Jett commented on his wife's miniskirt and cardigan combo, which was for a Friday night date.
“Taking Pookie somewhere new tonight with three other couples,” he said. “And Pookie looks absolutely amazing.”
As their social media reach increased, and fans praised and mocked how the couple expressed their love for each other, they also came under immense scrutiny. In January, viewers began exploring his online history, with a viral video chronicling Jett's resume along with a screenshot of what appeared to be his LinkedIn.
Reddit users also found several photos from the couple's past, including a Facebook image of Campbell posing in front of a Confederate flag. In another photo on Pinterest at the time, she could be seen wearing a dress with a large skirt that was said to be for an Antebellum plantation-themed Ole Miss Greek event.
Circulation of the photos sparked backlash in January, prompting Campbell to take to her Instagram Story to apologize and address the situation. She also defended the photographs of her, saying that she was young and naive when she took them.
“As some of you may have seen, some old photographs of mine have recently resurfaced,” he wrote in text superimposed in white on a solemn black background. “At the time these photographs were taken, I was 20 years old. I didn't fully understand the impact of my actions like I do now, 12 years later. “I apologize for any harm this may have caused to some and take full responsibility.”
Campbell then noted that with her and Jett's growing online platform, public scrutiny and judgment comes with the territory. “Because we live our lives so publicly, everything is on the Internet, even my mistakes. We look forward to continuing to accompany you on our journey as we continue to learn and grow,” she added.
