[[File:TaylorTweet22.png|350px|thumb|right|One of Taylor's tweets to Onision. ([http://dontstandsoclosetome.com/how-to-become-a-youtube-partners-wife/ Source])]]On September 14, 2011, Taylor sent her first tweet to Onision. "@Onision i want to put up with your bullshit greg :)" This was a response to a now deleted video he posted titled "Single Again". This video was about his break-up with Adrienne. In the video he says "Adrienne deserves someone way better than me and I deserve someone who... wants to put up with my bullshit." Taylor tweeted at him 6 more times in September. On October 21st, Taylor tweeted a list of 6 celebrities and YouTube personalities she would marry. Onision was number 3. The next day he replied to her, "thats sweet of you to say~". She replied, "@Onision :D thank you for replying! That made my day :)" This was most likely their first conversation. (It is very common for Greg to respond short tweets to fans.)  She tweeted at him 3 more times until she began to start telling him she loved him over Twitter. October 29, 2011: "@Onision I will always love you. No matter what."  November 13, 2011: "I wanted to chat with @Onision but it won't let me log in on my phone :((( I love you Greg!" This was most likely about a Live Chat he had on his YouTube channel with his viewers.

"@Onision i want to put up with your bullshit greg :)" This was a response to a now deleted video he posted titled "Single Again". This video was about his break-up with [[Adrienne]].

This was most likely about a Live Chat he had on his YouTube channel with his viewers.


On December 14, 2011, Onision announced one of his break-ups with [[Shiloh_(Ex-Fiancé)|Shiloh]] through Twitter. He apologized for not listening to everyone that told him not to get back together with her. Taylor replied, "@Onision you shouldn't be apologizing. It shouldn't be a bad thing that you have such a big heart. Don't ever change. I love you <3". "@Onision I love you. Stay strong. I'm always here for you if you need someone." On December 20th, Taylor asks Greg to Skype: "@Onision ugh, I just love you :) haha. I wanna Skype sometime!" She tweeted him a total of 20 times in December 2011.

[[File:Soulmate.png|300px|thumb|left|Greg's first DM to Taylor (above) and the tweets that inspired him to contact her (below).]]January 1, 2012: "My #2012 wish is for @Onision to be a big part of my year." She then tweeted a screen shot of her phone, revealing an image of Greg was her phone background. "I think @Onision should get on some form of chat so that I can chat with him :D" She tweeted at him a total of 5 times that day. On the 3rd, Onision replied a second time to her. His tweet was almost identical to his first one.

His tweet was almost identical to his first one.  


She tweeted at Onision 27 times in January. On January 9th she was worried about not tweeting him, "I haven't tweeted @Onision in like two days :(". She tweeted him twice the day before. By this time they were not talking yet. Jan 12: "@Onision sometimes I feel like I miss you even though we've never met or talked. It's odd. :/" ([http://dontstandsoclosetome.com/how-to-become-a-youtube-partners-wife/ Source])

The nearly daily tweets ended on February 15th. They began dating on February 27, 2012. ([http://laineybot.tumblr.com/post/91201094323/faq Source]) This Taylor Twitter account was eventually deleted and was replaced by [https://twitter.com/laineybot LaineyBot].

In January 2015, Taylor released screen shots of her and Greg's early interactions along with conversations she had with a friend about Onision. The earliest screen shot was dated February 7, 2012. It was a conversation she had with a friend about tweeting Onision. Taylor excitedly tells her friend Onision tweeted 9 seconds ago. She asks her fried how long she should wait. Her friend tells her "Well don't send another-" (it's cut off). ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:FriendText1.png Source]) It is believed this conversation shows that Taylor would watch Onision's Twitter feed and wait for him to tweet so that when she tweets him, he would be more likely to see it.
==Early Communication==


The next screen shot is Onision's first direct message to Taylor on February 12, 2012. He asks "You really think you're my soulmate?" "If so... what makes you feel this way?". This was most likely a reply to a short Twitter conversation they had that same day. He tweets, "Soulmate... where are you?" She replied "here." The next screen shot was Taylor and Greg's first text conversation, which is undated. We can see Greg flirting with her, telling her he would hug her the whole time when she got to Washington to keep her warm because she had never been exposed to cold weather before. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:1stText.png Source]) This shows they were planning on meeting up early on.
At some point during Taylor's fan-girl tweeting, she and Greg followed her and they began casually talking over text.


The last 3 screen shots were conversations with her friend. The earliest was dated February 13, 2012. In it Taylor says she "needs Gregory". Taylor and her friend joke about kidnapping him and the friend's boyfriend to spend time with them in romantic Paris. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:FriendText4.png Source]) The next day is when the next screen shot takes place. In it, Taylor questions if Greg loves her and wishes he would just tell her. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:FriendText2.png Source]) The last was dated February 23, 2012. Taylor says Greg told her he wants to avoid her because he doesn't want to risk falling for her. She is confused by his mixed messages. The next day she tells her friend to call her and that she has a lot to tell her. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:FriendText3.png Source])

([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:1stText.png Source]) When talking about this moment in 2015, Greg says "I was already following this girl on twitter and I think we texted a few times prior, so it was extra meaningful to me."

[[File:NewMexico.png|250px|thumb|right|Greg filming in New Mexico. ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tQNe_9LiXM $ource])]]Onision began filming his videos in a new location. On March 23. 2012, Greg announced in "Fun With Onision 17" that he moved into a new place, but he complained about his voice echoing ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUjwY3a66uk $ource]) Shortly after he began filming in LA and collaborating with other YouTubers such as Cyr.

Greg and Taylor long distance June to August 2012. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:LongDistance.png Source])
In early March 2012, Onision began wearing a ring. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:ManRingMarch.png Source]) When asked about the ring, he seemed proud to say that he had been keeping his life private. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:Ring.png Source]) Around that time, Taylor began showing off an engagement ring in her Twitter selfies. Greg later revealed he proposed to Taylor before ever meeting her in person by telling her, "you know I'm going to marry you, right?" over Skype. He gave her the ring when they met in person for the first time. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sAjnkASwOo $ource])Taylor says they met in person for the first time on March 8, 2012. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:LaineyMeetUp.png Source])


Eventually, due to Greg and Taylor's Twitter activity, people began comparing his indoor filming locations with Taylor's Instagram photos. The rooms were identical. Also, Taylor began dropping hints like wearing articles his clothing and paralleling their tweets about what they were doing when they were together. When this was pointed out in videos and on blogs in late May, Taylor deleted the images in question and made her Twitter account private. She would flip flop between private and public until their relationship was revealed.

Soon, it was found out that Greg was renting a home in New Mexico. It turns out he was in New Mexico to be with Taylor while she finished up High School. Some speculated they were keeping their relationship a secret due to the immense amount of criticism he received in the past for dating a teenager.  
Viewers also began to notice Greg had begun filming in a new location that was not his Washington home. Soon, it was found out that Greg was renting a home in New Mexico. It turns out he was in New Mexico to be with Taylor while she finished up High School. Some speculated they were keeping their relationship a secret due to the immense amount of criticism he received in the past for dating a teenager.


Taylor continued to post vague references to Greg and posted images where she and Greg's reflection can be seen. Onision seemed to be making similarly careless mistakes as well. He posted a screen shot of YouTube, but Taylor's Twitter can be seen in his bookmark toolbar. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:YouTubeTwitter052312.png Source])

There were two more major sightings of Taylor and Greg before his reveal of her to his fans. On July 18th, an image of Taylor and Greg was taken from her private Twitter and spread on Tumblr. She soon deleted it and began to be more careful (such as using reflections).  The second sighting was on September 16, 2012. Taylor can be seen in the background of Cyr's video "Going Away...". It seems that Cyr came to New Mexico to make videos with Greg and they played mini golf together with Taylor. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdU_eTvZb7Q Source])

When Taylor and Greg began publicly dating, Taylor began going by Lainey, or Laineybot, online. She created a Laineybot [https://twitter.com/laineybot Twitter], [https://instagram.com/laineybot/ Instagram] and [http://laineybot.tumblr.com/ Tumblr]. Taylor says Greg gave her the nickname Lainey. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:NicknameSource.png Source]) It is most likely a nickname for her middle name, Elaine.

Taylor sent mixed messages about if she preferred being called Lainey or Taylor. At first, she said she didn't mind being called either and couldn't decide which she should go by. By 2013, she would get upset when people called her Taylor on her Tumblr. She said she never liked the name Taylor because it is unisex. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:LaineyTaylor.png Source]) It was later revealed at this time, her close friends and family would still call her Taylor on her Twitter and personal Facebook, including new additions to her family like Greg's mother. Some think she pushed being called Lainey online to keep her online persona separate from her real life.

The month before, Taylor listed Shane Dawson as one of her favorite YouTubers. ([http://www.lifeofonion.com/index.php?title=File:FavYouTubers.png Source]) She did not make the switch because LaineyBug was already taken.

She currently has over 100,000 subscribers.

=="Stalker"==
==In-Laws==


On April 28, 2013 Greg uploaded a video to his speaks channel titled "Dear Stalker". In the video he reveals his in-laws received a letter in the mail from someone. In the letter, they explaining how they believed Greg was a horrible person. Onision says his in-laws were creeped out and he claims he knows who sent it and that it was someone that makes videos about him. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiMr2rdewhs $ource])
After word began to spread of Taylor and Greg's secret marriage, a psychical letter was sent to Taylor's parents around April 2013. The letter informed them Taylor was now married and warned them about how they believed Greg was dangerous. This caused a string of angry videos from Greg accusing a specific YouTuber of being the [[Snail Mail Stalker]], and saying that Taylor's parents were creeped out by the whole situation.


This began a long string of back and fourth videos between Onision and the person he was accusing of being the stalker that sent the letter to Taylor's parents. (More info to come on a more appropriate page.)
Because of these videos, many viewers got the impression Taylor's family were right away on Greg's side and got along with him. Although, within the next few years Greg would reveal this was not exactly the case.


==Pregnancy==
On October 10, 2015, Greg uploaded "Draw My Wife (Onision's Relationship Story)" to his main channel. In the video, Greg talks about how he became married to Taylor, but mainly focused the video on a family member of Taylor's he refers to as "Mr. Grump". He described how upset Mr. Grump, who is assumed to be Taylor's biological father, was when he found out his teenage daughter was engaged to Greg. Greg says Mr. Grump tried different ways of separating Taylor and Greg such as threatened Greg and claiming their relationship was illegal. Greg says he no longer associates with Mr. Grump because Mr. Grump joked about stealing their child. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sAjnkASwOo $ource])


(Make this shorter or split it up)
Greg has also shown friction with his in-laws when he lashed out multiple times at other specific in-laws (although they won't be specified here) over his public Facebook fan-page, which has over 700,000 followers. An examples of this are a time he attacked certain members of Taylor's family for being pro-circumcision. (Source) Another example is when Greg ranted about how horrible he thinks a specific younger member of Taylor's family is and revealed a lot of private information that he heard them tell Taylor in confidence. (Source)


Summer 2013, Taylor began complaining about being sick on social media. She talked about it frequently for weeks, but never mentioned a diagnosis. In images, she could be seen wearing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_sickness#Devices sea bands] around this time as well. Some believed she may have been pregnant.

On June 26, 2013, Taylor announced she was pregnant with a picture of her baby bump on Tumblr. "Newest addition to the family coming late December/early January :)".Later that same day, she deleted the image and posted to Tumblr and Twitter, "Congrats guys you’ve officially lost all of your picture privileges. Good job. Thanks for being extremely rude." When asked why, she replied "people are cunts & I'm not putting up with it."

[[File:TroyRoom.png|300px|thumb|right|Onision filming in his child's room. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2GA74McgCc $ource])]]Despite deciding not to post anymore baby belly pictures, she frequently talked about her pregnancy on social media and answered many questions about the process and her future child. She revealed information such as how far along she was and other pregnancy details. When asked about the baby's name, Taylor revealed they were planning on naming the child Elaine (girl) or Troy (boy). Around that same time, Greg was asked about the baby names as well, but he refused to answer. (Source) Many people came to her Tumblr, concerned she would give up or have a hard time in college now that she was going to become a mother. She reassured everyone that she and Greg planned that when she was at school, Greg would take care of the baby and when she was home, he would record. (Source) It was later revealed they were expecting a boy. At one point, they had shared an ultrasound photo of their baby. ([http://www.buzztubeonline.com/2013/08/10/onision-is-having-a-baby/ Source])
After going back and forth on the matter, Greg and Taylor decided to keep their child off of the internet. For the first year, Taylor would talk about their child on social media and answer fans questions fans asked about him such as his appearance and her parenting decisions. Lately, Taylor only brings him up vaguely when talking about breastfeeding in public. Greg consistently kept quiet about the child, only occasionally mentioning he is a parent in jokes and during arguments/rants criticizing other parents.


On September 4, 2013, Onision uploaded a video titled "Echogenic Bowel Ultrasound & Extremely Unlikely Risks" to his Archive channel. In the video he says he is making this video to help other people that might be in the same situation. He talks about how doctors wanted to preform a test for down syndrome on the fetus, even though the chances of their child having down syndrome was very slim. He says they wanted to preform the test after there was bleeding and the fetus ingested blood. He says the high risk specialist tried to scare them by telling them their baby might have down syndrome so that they would pay for a $900 test. He says the test is more likely to kill the child than the child actually having down syndrome. He says they keep harassing him about it because they baby showed another soft sign, or "bullshit sign", with their kidneys. He goes on about how corrupt it is and that they just want money. He tells people not to terminate their down syndrome babies and step up to the plate. He talks about another experience he had where a doctor thought he had an STD and it turned out to be an infection. He says, "you stupid doctor that just assumes things because you think you're a God." He talks about times he predicted things right when the doctors were wrong. He asks why he is getting more home runs than "professionals" (air quotes) that are educated. He says they are not professional and they don't care about you, they only care about money. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55vWXaNly04 $ource])
=Gender and Sexuality=


The video received backlash from people believing he was being too defensive and/or should have payed for the test. Some pointed out the test helps give soon to be parents of down syndrome children time to prepare for the different care they require and is not meant just to decide to abort the fetus. Onision became frustrated and turned off comments on his video. He replied on tumblr, telling them to "SHUT THE FUCK UP". He repeats what he said in the video and he says is you disagree you are an idiot. He tells people that disagree, "FUCK YOU, UNSUBSCRIBE, GET OFF MY CHANNEL & NEVER RETURN YOU FUCKING DUMB SHIT. No test is worth risking the death of your child, you fucking assholes." ([http://onision.com/post/60368539630/shut-the-fuck-up Source])

By June, Taylor began posting baby bump pictures again. This only lasted until September. On September 25, 2013 Taylor tweeted, "No, I will not be posting belly pictures. The people who like to try & fuck up our lives lost that privilege for everyone." ([https://twitter.com/laineybot/status/382947159579963392 Source]) On October 5, 2013, Greg revealed that he and Taylor decided not to share the baby online anymore because the baby was receiving death threats and was mocked. He told his followers to blame "soul-less obsessive freaks who run the hate blogs/sites/channels". ([http://onision.com/post/63181448225/i-know-you-said-you-wont-but-can-you-give-us-a-little Source]) These threats are assumed to be private messages, no record of threats to the child can be found. On October 13, 2013, Onision announced, "So long as anti-Onision blog/pages/channels exist, there will be no baby pics/updates."  (Source)
 
After announcing they will no longer be posting about the pregnancy/baby, Onision continued to film in the baby's room and would take photos with various baby items. When curious fans asked about the baby through his tumblr, he would throw them off by telling hem he does not have a baby before the baby was born. After his birth, he would tell them Taylor is not pregnant.
 
After the child was born, Taylor began talking about him a bit on social media. She answers questions on thing such as his appearance and tweets about breastfeeding. Onision has not spoken about the child on social media.
 
Onision has broken the "no baby on camera" rule two times. The first was on March 28, 2014, Onision uploaded a video titled "I'll Never Stop Loving You (A Song For My Son)". In the video, he describes the birth of his son and talks about how he will always love him. In the video the baby can be seen in the reflection of Taylor's sunglasses (a technique they are known to use) and his limbs can be seen in another scene. ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wAP3l_Yxu0 $ource]) An almost full body shot of the child can be seen in the background of a July 2014 video. This video will not be linked here.

Taylor and Greg in a video, March 2013. ($ource)

Taylor, also known online as Lainey or LaineyBot, is Onision's current wife and mother of his son. They have been together since early 2012. She rarely appears in his videos.

Early Relationship

Taylor was a fan of Onision's before dating him. She began tweeting at him and they eventually began dating. She stated she was a "fangirl" for about 5 to 6 months before they began talking. (Source) Taylor was 17 and Greg was 26 when they met.

Twitter

One of Taylor's tweets to Onision. (Source)

On September 14, 2011, Taylor sent her first tweet to Onision. "@Onision i want to put up with your bullshit greg :)" This was a response to a now deleted video he posted titled "Single Again". This video was about his break-up with Adrienne. In the video he says "Adrienne deserves someone way better than me and I deserve someone who... wants to put up with my bullshit." Taylor tweeted at him 6 more times in September. On October 21st, Taylor tweeted a list of 6 celebrities and YouTube personalities she would marry. Onision was number 3. The next day he replied to her, "thats sweet of you to say~". She replied, "@Onision :D thank you for replying! That made my day :)" This was most likely their first conversation. (It is very common for Greg to respond short tweets to fans.) She tweeted at him 3 more times until she began to start telling him she loved him over Twitter. October 29, 2011: "@Onision I will always love you. No matter what." November 13, 2011: "I wanted to chat with @Onision but it won't let me log in on my phone :((( I love you Greg!" This was most likely about a Live Chat he had on his YouTube channel with his viewers.

On December 14, 2011, Onision announced one of his break-ups with Shiloh through Twitter. He apologized for not listening to everyone that told him not to get back together with her. Taylor replied, "@Onision you shouldn't be apologizing. It shouldn't be a bad thing that you have such a big heart. Don't ever change. I love you <3". "@Onision I love you. Stay strong. I'm always here for you if you need someone." On December 20th, Taylor asks Greg to Skype: "@Onision ugh, I just love you :) haha. I wanna Skype sometime!" She tweeted him a total of 20 times in December 2011.

January 1, 2012: "My #2012 wish is for @Onision to be a big part of my year." She then tweeted a screen shot of her phone, revealing an image of Greg was her phone background. "I think @Onision should get on some form of chat so that I can chat with him :D" She tweeted at him a total of 5 times that day. On the 3rd, Onision replied a second time to her. His tweet was almost identical to his first one.

She tweeted at Onision 27 times in January. On January 9th she was worried about not tweeting him, "I haven't tweeted @Onision in like two days :(". She tweeted him twice the day before. By this time they were not talking yet. Jan 12: "@Onision sometimes I feel like I miss you even though we've never met or talked. It's odd. :/" (Source)

The nearly daily tweets ended on February 15th. They began dating on February 27, 2012. (Source) This Taylor Twitter account was eventually deleted and was replaced by LaineyBot.

Early Communication

At some point during Taylor's fan-girl tweeting, she and Greg followed her and they began casually talking over text.

Greg's DM to Taylor (above) and the tweets that inspired him to message her (below).

In January 2015, Taylor released screen shots of her and Greg's early interactions along with conversations she had with a friend about Onision. The earliest screen shot was dated February 7, 2012. It was a conversation she had with a friend about tweeting Onision. Taylor excitedly tells her friend Onision tweeted 9 seconds ago. She asks her fried how long she should wait. Her friend tells her "Well don't send another-" (it's cut off). (Source) It is believed this conversation shows that Taylor would watch Onision's Twitter feed and wait for him to tweet so that when she tweets him, he would be more likely to see it.

On February 1, 2012, Greg and Shiloh break-up for the last time.

The next screen shot is Onision's first direct message to Taylor on February 12, 2012. He asks "You really think you're my soulmate?" "If so... what makes you feel this way?". This was most likely a reply to a short Twitter conversation they had that same day. He tweets, "Soulmate... where are you?" She replied "here." (Source) When talking about this moment in 2015, Greg says "I was already following this girl on twitter and I think we texted a few times prior, so it was extra meaningful to me." ($ource)

The next screen shot was Taylor and Greg's first text conversation, which is undated. We can see Greg flirting with her, telling her he would hug her the whole time when she got to Washington to keep her warm because she had never been exposed to cold weather before. (Source) This shows they were planning on meeting up early on.

The last 3 screen shots were conversations with her friend. The earliest was dated February 13, 2012. In it Taylor says she "needs Gregory". Taylor and her friend joke about kidnapping him and the friend's boyfriend to spend time with them in romantic Paris. (Source) The next day is when the next screen shot takes place. In it, Taylor questions if Greg loves her and wishes he would just tell her. (Source) The last was dated February 23, 2012. Taylor says Greg told her he wants to avoid her because he doesn't want to risk falling for her. She is confused by his mixed messages. The next day she tells her friend to call her and that she has a lot to tell her. (Source)

New Mexico

In early March 2012, Onision began wearing a ring. (Source) When asked about the ring, he seemed proud to say that he had been keeping his life private. (Source) Around that time, Taylor began showing off an engagement ring in her Twitter selfies. Greg later revealed he proposed to Taylor before ever meeting her in person by telling her, "you know I'm going to marry you, right?" over Skype. He gave her the ring when they met in person for the first time. ($ource)Taylor says they met in person for the first time on March 8, 2012. (Source)

Eventually, due to Greg and Taylor's Twitter activity, people began comparing his indoor filming locations with Taylor's Instagram photos. The rooms were identical. Also, Taylor began dropping hints like wearing articles his clothing and paralleling their tweets about what they were doing when they were together. When this was pointed out in videos and on blogs in late May, Taylor deleted the images in question and made her Twitter account private. She would flip flop between private and public until their relationship was revealed.

Viewers also began to notice Greg had begun filming in a new location that was not his Washington home. Soon, it was found out that Greg was renting a home in New Mexico. It turns out he was in New Mexico to be with Taylor while she finished up High School. Some speculated they were keeping their relationship a secret due to the immense amount of criticism he received in the past for dating a teenager.

Taylor continued to post vague references to Greg and posted images where she and Greg's reflection can be seen. Greg seemed to be making similarly careless mistakes as well. One example is when he posted a full page screen shot of YouTube, but Taylor's Twitter can be seen in his bookmark toolbar. (Source)

There were two more major sightings of Taylor and Greg before his reveal of her to his fans. On July 18th, an image of Taylor and Greg was taken from her private Twitter and spread on Tumblr. She soon deleted it and began to be more careful (such as using reflections). The second sighting was on September 16, 2012. Taylor can be seen in the background of Cyr's video "Going Away...". It seems that Cyr came to New Mexico to make videos with Greg and they played mini golf together with Taylor. (Source)

Publicly Dating

On October 22, 2012, 6 days after Taylor turned 18, Greg announced his new girlfriend with an Instagram image of them kissing. A month later, Taylor appeared in her first Onision video. ($ource) She does not appear in many due to her dislike for being filmed. (Source)

LaineyBot

Greg and Taylor in a 2015 video

When Taylor and Greg began publicly dating, Taylor began going by Lainey, or Laineybot, online. She created a Laineybot Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr. Taylor says Greg gave her the nickname Lainey. (Source) It is most likely a nickname for her middle name, Elaine.

Taylor sent mixed messages about if she preferred being called Lainey or Taylor. At first, she said she didn't mind being called either and couldn't decide which she should go by. By 2013, she would get upset when people called her Taylor on her Tumblr. She said she never liked the name Taylor because it is unisex. (Source) It was later revealed at this time, her close friends and family would still call her Taylor on her Twitter and personal Facebook, including new additions to her family like Greg's mother. Some think she pushed being called Lainey online to keep her online persona separate from her real life.

In October 2012, Taylor was thinking about changing her username to LaineyBug. (Source) This is thought to be inspired by Shane Dawson's then girlfriend, LisaBug. The month before, Taylor listed Shane Dawson as one of her favorite YouTubers. (Source) She did not make the switch because LaineyBug was already taken.

In early 2015, Taylor created a Laineybot Facebook fanpage and a Laineybot YouTube account. She did not use her YouTube until later in 2015, when she began uploading challenge videos and re-uploads of comedy videos she created with Greg that were previously on his channels. She currently has over 100,000 subscribers.

Tattoos

On October 24, 2012, Taylor tweeted about getting her first tattoo and revealed it was going to be her lucky number. (Source) Later that day, she posted a picture of her new "27" hip tattoo to instagram. She and Greg got matching "27" tattoos, most likely for the day they started dating, February 27, 2012.

On March 27, 2013, Onision uploaded "ONISION'S NEW TATTOO" to his speaks channel. He showed off his fresh touch-up on his "27" hip tattoo and he and Taylor's new matching "14" ankle tattoos. ($ource) This is most likely for the day they were married, November 14, 2012. Taylor's 4 is pink and Greg's is blue.

Marriage

Greg and Taylor were married through the New Mexico court system on November 14, 2012. (Source) They did not announce their marriage and they did not have a wedding until the next year.

Ex-Friend

A week after their secret marriage, an angry ex-friend of Taylor's went to Tumblr to reveal what has been going on between Greg and Taylor. They later posted screen shots of their Skype conversations with Taylor to back up their claims.

According to Taylor's ex-friend, Taylor and Greg began talking after Greg noticed the immense amounts of tweets she sent him. They began talking over Skype and began dating a week after he and Shiloh were over. Greg rented a home, so that he could be near Taylor. He moved back to Washington because they decided they should not see each other for 4 to 5 months until Taylor starts college. When she started, they rented an apartment and she planned to finish her semester, then move back to Washington in December. The ex-friend claims at the time of writing her blog post, Taylor's parents did not know she was married to Greg and living with him. They believed she was living in her college dorm. They also did not know she was planning on moving back to Washington with him and that she planned to travel around the world with Greg on Digitour while taking online classes. They also did not know that Taylor and Greg changed their last names.

The ex-friend goes on to explain issues she's been having with Taylor over lies she's told and her struggle to balance friends and her new found internet popularity. She also mentions that she believes Taylor is suffering from an eating disorder. (Source)

According to the Skype chat logs, it appears that Greg and Taylor decided to take time apart because Taylor's dad did not agree with their relationship. Taylor complains that he says it's illegal, but she says Greg is speaking to his lawyer to make sure it is legal. She says she couldn't go back to Greg's place (most likely the house he rented) because her parents would not let her. (Source) Taylor also talks about how Greg was asked to host DigiTour. She says worked everything out (college) so that she could travel with him. She says it's a big opportunity for Greg, but her parents will kill her. In the chat, Taylor announces she will be married in 16 days and that her parents know nothing about it. She says they will have a wedding in the summer of 2013. She also announces she and Greg will be moving back to Washington in December. (Source) Taylor also spoke about Adrienne, complaining that she only was with Greg for 2 to 3 days compared to the months she had spent with him. She says Greg had never done any of the things Adrienne spoke about to her. (Source)

In another group of chat logs, Taylor talks about her weight loss. She talks about never feeling satisfied, even though she's been reaching her goals. Her friend explains to her that it sounds like the beginning of an eating disorder. She says that she hasn't eaten over 1,000 calories in a long time and that day she had only eaten 50. Taylor talks about feeling guilty that she's not "the best" for him. She says she feel inferior. (Source) At the time, Taylor spoke a lot about her weight loss and goals on Twitter. She also would occasionally express how unhappy she was and tweet about crying. ( Source, find tweets in word) Some followers became increasingly worried that she might have been in the beginning stages of an eating disorder. It was also found that she submitted a photo of her collar bones to a thinspo blog. Worried followers tried to reach out to her, but she always denied ever having a problem.

In a 2015 YouNow live-stream, Taylor confirmed that this individual was her friend and revealed her secrets.

In-Laws

After word began to spread of Taylor and Greg's secret marriage, a psychical letter was sent to Taylor's parents around April 2013. The letter informed them Taylor was now married and warned them about how they believed Greg was dangerous. This caused a string of angry videos from Greg accusing a specific YouTuber of being the Snail Mail Stalker, and saying that Taylor's parents were creeped out by the whole situation.

Because of these videos, many viewers got the impression Taylor's family were right away on Greg's side and got along with him. Although, within the next few years Greg would reveal this was not exactly the case.

On October 10, 2015, Greg uploaded "Draw My Wife (Onision's Relationship Story)" to his main channel. In the video, Greg talks about how he became married to Taylor, but mainly focused the video on a family member of Taylor's he refers to as "Mr. Grump". He described how upset Mr. Grump, who is assumed to be Taylor's biological father, was when he found out his teenage daughter was engaged to Greg. Greg says Mr. Grump tried different ways of separating Taylor and Greg such as threatened Greg and claiming their relationship was illegal. Greg says he no longer associates with Mr. Grump because Mr. Grump joked about stealing their child. ($ource)

Greg has also shown friction with his in-laws when he lashed out multiple times at other specific in-laws (although they won't be specified here) over his public Facebook fan-page, which has over 700,000 followers. An examples of this are a time he attacked certain members of Taylor's family for being pro-circumcision. (Source) Another example is when Greg ranted about how horrible he thinks a specific younger member of Taylor's family is and revealed a lot of private information that he heard them tell Taylor in confidence. (Source)

Child

: Main Article: Child

On June 26, 2013, Taylor announced she was pregnant with a picture of her baby bump on Tumblr. "Newest addition to the family coming late December/early January :)".Later that same day, she deleted the image and posted to Tumblr and Twitter, "Congrats guys you’ve officially lost all of your picture privileges. Good job. Thanks for being extremely rude." When asked why, she replied "people are cunts & I'm not putting up with it." (Source)

After going back and forth on the matter, Greg and Taylor decided to keep their child off of the internet. For the first year, Taylor would talk about their child on social media and answer fans questions fans asked about him such as his appearance and her parenting decisions. Lately, Taylor only brings him up vaguely when talking about breastfeeding in public. Greg consistently kept quiet about the child, only occasionally mentioning he is a parent in jokes and during arguments/rants criticizing other parents.
