Who Is Claudia Walsh?
Claudia Marie Walsh was born on 5 December 1996, in Baltimore, Maryland USA. She’s the daughter of Aiden Walsh and Jen Seidel, and has an older brother named Brandon and a younger sister named Kennedy. The three Walsh siblings and their mother create social media content under their company Walsh Media, LLC. Claudia’s parents have been divorced for some years now.
Claudia graduated from the Community College of Baltimore County in 2020 with a Nursing degree. As she affirmed in a vlog from the time, she was inspired to study nursing by the medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy”, though she discovered that the experience was harder than she ‘ever thought it would be’ due to the stress, though she found relief in taking time for herself while getting her degree. As well, Claudia was able to overcome her fear of needles, thanks to her time at college.
Despite being a registered nurse and feeling it’s a career fit for her due to her love for taking care of others, Claudia isn’t planning on working as a nurse, as she revealed in a 2022 video.
Rise To Fame
Claudia Walsh started sharing videos in August 2018, but the story of how she became a YouTube star started a long way before that. Everything began with her brother Brandon, who as a child loved taking videos of himself and his sisters, posting them on a now-supposedly deleted YouTube channel.
Fast forward to 2017, Brandon was in his last year of college when he came up with the idea of creating a channel to promote their mother Jen’s body paint business, with him and his two sisters appearing in most videos. The idea turned out so well that soon Jen The Body Painter gained fame throughout the country, allowing the siblings to travel and experience what it was like to become internet famous.
After that, it didn’t take Brandon long to realize that the brand could extend to the whole family, convincing his sisters Claudia and Kennedy to start posting on their channels. Both sisters’ channels sped up in no time, with Brandon managing their line of content.
Claudia’s first video on YouTube was a funny bit in which Brandon chose what clothes she was to buy, followed by similar videos. These initial concepts for their videos fit well their idea of doing ‘dumb stuff’ while still feeling they were just ‘hanging out’, as Claudia described the feeling of making videos with her feelings with 2 WMAR Baltimore.
Claudia’s Content Now
It’s been a while since Claudia Walsh shared her first video on YouTube, and nothing has stoped her online popularity from growing. Her content has expanded beyond the family funny bits though, as now Claudia has become a lifestyle blogger, focused on sharing interesting videos about her life, exercising routines, healthy habits, and fashion.
Nonetheless, Claudia hasn’t forgotten her origins, often collaborating with her siblings, friends, and other loved ones to film light-hearted and funny videos.
Nowadays, Claudia has over 520,000 subscribers, and 53 million views accumulated on her channel. Her Instagram account is almost as popular, having to date over 460,000 followers. However, TikTok is by far the site where Claudia has seen her audience grow the most, and faster than everywhere else, currently counting 1.3 million followers and 41 million likes of her videos.
Claudia also has a podcast with her best friend Devorah named “Free The Girls”, and has sponsorships from fashion and wellness brands. On top of that, the question of whether Claudia would open an OnlyFans account has surfaced from time to time, but in the podcast “Don’t Be Sour” she affirmed that creating exclusive adult content wasn’t her ‘thing’, and wants to be known as a YouTuber instead.
Who Are Her Siblings?
Claudia Walsh isn’t the only social media star in her family, as her siblings Kennedy and Brandon have found even more massive success on their own on the internet. Brandon Walsh has become widely known on YouTube for his funny videos featuring himself and his close ones.
It’s not rare to find Claudia and Kennedy in Brandon’s videos, as they often collaborate for pranks, challenges, and other humorous situations. These days, Brandon has 1.2 million subscribers on YouTube, matching his success on TikTok.
For her part, Kennedy is more on the lifestyle side of YouTube, focusing on sharing interesting bits about her life with a calm and aesthetically pleasant look; she’s also become known for her makeup and fashion videos. Nowadays, Kennedy has 1.8 million subscribers on YouTube, the biggest of her family.
Personal Life
Currently, Claudia Walsh is in a relationship with YouTuber and bodybuilder Jesse James West. The pair have been dating since Brandon Walsh, who is a close friend of Jesse, set up a blind date between them in June 2021.
As Claudia confessed in a video from 2022, she initially didn’t want to go on the date, and wasn’t necessarily interested in Jesse, whom she’d already seen in pics. Nevertheless, they eventually met and sparks didn’t take long to fly, resulting in them starting a long-lasting relationship. The pair moved in together in November 2021.
Before Jesse, Claudia dated a man named Marty Bindel. The pair started dating when they both were 18 years old, lasting five years together before breaking up. As Claudia explained in a 2020 video, she didn’t feel Marty and she had the same goals in life, hence she ended things amicably.
Physical Appearance & Net Worth
Claudia Walsh is a Caucasian woman. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, on top of having a fit figure and getting lots of praise for her appearance. Claudia is 5ft 2ins (1.57m) tall a, but her weight is unknown.
In late 2020, Claudia underwent breast augmentation surgery, passing from an A to a D cup. As she affirmed in a 2022 video, she feels it was a good decision because it improved her confidence and allowed her to wear clothes she likes better.
