Who is Gegenewtt?

British social media personality, YouTuber and model Gena – aka Gegenewtt – was born in England under the zodiac sign Capricorn on 1 January 1999. She’s perhaps only known for her presence on the internet, especially her YouTube channel “Gena Vlogs”, which she launched back on 15 May 2010 and which is today subscribed to by over 125,000 people; Gegenewtt’s posted nearly 400 videos and all of these together number more than 13 million views today. Most of her videos feature her travelling around the world, as she’s recently been to Thailand and Malta, showing off her attractive body, especially her large breasts and spending time with her closest friends.

The Story Behind Gegenewtt’s Success on TikTok and Instagram (1)

Education and early life

Gegenewtt was raised in England by her parents whose privacy she respects, and she thus rarely speaks about them in public; her mother’s believed to be a nurse at a private clinic and her father an architect, but this is yet to be addressed by Gegenewtt. She hasn’t talked about having siblings but judging by her internet content, Gegenewtt has a younger brother.

She attended a local high school in London and was into multiple activities during her time there as she took dance lessons, was on the school’s cheerleading team and enjoyed appearing in school plays; she was also into playing sports and soccer was her favorite. Gegenewtt was 17 when spotted by a modelling scout, and signed her first contract with the support of her parents as she was still underage.

Gegenewtt matriculated in 2017 and it’s widely believed that she continued her education at a local college, from which she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in 2021; this is yet to be addressed by Gegenewtt.

Most viewed YouTube videos

Gegenewtt seems to be mostly popular on YouTube for the videos in which she’s showing off her large breasts, but her fans have also claimed that they like her for her personality, for often responding to their messages and for keeping her internet accounts updated. We’ll be covering Gegenewtt’s three most viewed YouTube videos, as these have contributed to her overall popularity.

Her #1 video “Last Vlog in Malta: Blue Lagoon Boat Trip” has been watched nearly 1.8 million times since 4 March 2023, and features Gegenewtt during her final day in Malta, while her large breasts are in the focus during most of this 10-minute video.

Her second most popular video “10 Years Younger” has been viewed over 1.3 million times since it was created on 9 February 2023, and has since amassed nearly 30,000 likes; it features Gegenewtt taking off her make-up.

Her #3 video “Thailand: Phi Phi Island” has been watched over 1.2 million times since 12 June 2023, and features Gegenewtt travelling to and around Phi Phi Island in Thailand; similar to her #1 video, most of this 10-minute video has Gegenewtt’s and her friend’s large breasts in focus.

Presence on social media networks

Gegenewtt’s active on various social media networks, and together with her YouTube channel, these today represent her main sources of income.

She’s quite active on Instagram, and has posted over 160 pictures and videos onto the network, while more than 420,000 people are following her today; most of Gegenewtt’s content features her showing off her large breasts, expensive clothes and jewelry, attending various events and spending time with her friends.

Gegenewtt’s a TikTok star, as she’s followed by more than 2.4 million people on this network, while she’s amassed nearly 40 million likes of all her videos combined; most feature her lip syncing to her favorite songs, teaching her fans to do make-up, and showing off her clothes.

Gegenewtt’s tweeted only 34 times since she created her Twitter account in November 2022, which is why she’s today followed by only close to 4,500 people; she mostly uploads adult content, with most of her tweets being videos which feature her naked.

Gegenewtt’s also active on Facebook and her page today numbers over 10,000 followers and nearly 6,000 likes of all her posts combined; most are the same pictures that can be found on her TikTok and Instagram accounts.

Love life and relationships

Gegenewtt prefers not to share the details of her love life with her fans, however, back in 2021 she uploaded a video onto her TikTok account entitled “4 Years Single. Never Been Happier”.

Because of the video’s title, most of Gegenewtt’s fans believe that she was in a one-year relationship with a British non-celebrity man in 2016 and 2017, and that he didn’t treat her right; this is yet to be confirmed by Gegenewtt.

Some of her fans believe that the reason behind her secrecy is that she’s lesbian; some have claimed that she’s today dating a girl who’s recently travelled with her to Thailand, but this hasn’t been addressed by Gegenewtt.

She seems to be single as of November 2023, hasn’t married and doesn’t have children.

Interesting facts and hobbies

Unlike what many people believe to be true, Gegenewtt doesn’t have an OnlyFans account.

She’s a shopaholic and a fashionista, as she goes shopping for clothes, and reads various fashion magazines on a daily basis.

Travelling’s perhaps Gegenewtt’s favorite hobby; she’s been to various countries on every continent, with the exception of the Antarctic, and her favorite travel destination’s Bali, Indonesia.

Gegenewtt’s a lover of animals, and her favorites are penguins.

Most of her fans believe that she’s enhanced her breasts, with some claiming that she’s chosen the largest possible option, but this hasn’t been addressed by Gegenewtt.

She likes to wear costumes, which is perhaps why Halloween’s one of her favorite holidays.

One of Gegenewtt’s favorite actresses is Scarlett Johansson, and her favorite movies include “Ghost in the Shell”, “Lost in Translation” and “In Good Company”.

Height, age and net worth

Gegenewtt’s age is 24. She’s 5ft 5ins (1.65m) tall, weighs around 125lbs (56kgs) and has brown hair and eyes.

Gegenewtt’s net worth’s been estimated at over $100,000, as of November 2023.
