What You Don't Know About Tyler 'Ninja' Blevins' Wife

For those committed to putting in the time and effort it takes to become successful on Twitch, it can be a lucrative money-making opportunity. But not everybody has the dedication or business acumen needed to make the jump from casual gamer to full-time professional gamer. On the flip side, some professional gamers are fortunate enough to have someone with business know-how to take care of the more bureaucratic side of things while they focus strictly on gaming.

Jessica Blevins has created a thriving career for herself, using her bachelor's degree in Interpersonal Communication and Public Relations to make something of an empire for herself and her husband, Tyler Blevins. To introduce Jessica as the "wife of Ninja" would be doing a disservice to the talented woman who saw an opportunity to create a career that would help her family establish a sustainable lifestyle. The know-how, dedication, and massive amounts of time that go into Jessica's daily job keeping Ninja sponsored, visible, and successful means that she is something of a pioneer in her field. From her life in the gaming world to her former modeling career, here are a few things you may not have known about the business-savvy Jessica Blevins.

Jessica Blevins (then Goch) actually met her husband Tyler at a gaming tournament. In 2010, Jessica's boyfriend encouraged her to attend a Halo tournament with him because of her affinity for the game. Though the two broke up before the tournament took place, Jessica still honored her commitment to attend the Focus Fire Tournament. It's a good thing she did, because despite complications in getting to the actual tournament, she and Tyler met there.

Tyler Blevins had a girlfriend at the time that he and Jessica met and Jessica was only recently single, but the two kept in casual contact after the tournament. About three years later, the two reconnected and began dating. They dated for several years with Tyler continuing to build his Twitch career and Jessica focusing on her own career while also accompanying her boyfriend to various tournaments and conventions. It didn't take long for Tyler to pop the question and lock down the talented and beautiful gamer as his wife, and based on the success the two have experienced since partnering up, it seems like they both made the right move.

Just as with voice acting and radio hosts, one of the liberating things about being part of the gaming community is that it tends to be a less superficial place. Because streamers have the option of remaining relatively anonymous when streaming, many otherwise introverted people feel more comfortable coming out of their shell. With fame in the gaming community usually being based more on talent than looks, it's interesting and rare to find someone who has made the transition from an industry based solely on appearance, like modeling, to working in a community where looks are secondary to skill.

Because of this, or perhaps in spite of her good looks, Jessica Blevins has managed to span numerous industries that normally don't necessarily fit together. Before making gaming her full-time career, Jessica Blevins was a model for the TSM Agency. She experienced quite a bit of success in this field and more than likely could have made a promising career out of modeling if she so chose. But growing up with gaming in her blood aided her in ultimately choosing that life as her path. Her modeling experience no doubt helped her with different inlets to the gaming world, as her time as a brand ambassador for Cyber Solutions Agency utilized not only her expansive gaming skills, but also her ability to present herself in a professional and polished way.

Being a full-time streamer on Twitch may seem to many like an easy dream job. But for those in the know, it's been well established that in order to become successful in the world of gaming, major dedication is required through hours upon hours of work each day. For Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, this meant streaming for long stretches of time with no break every day, and even having to ignore business opportunities to grow his brand in favor of keeping his audience satisfied. This, obviously, left little room for Ninja and Jessica to spend quality time together as a couple.

One of the first things Jessica did when she took over the business side of the Team Ninja empire was to establish a schedule for everyone's sake. With the schedule in place, Ninja's brand was able to thrive and grow into the juggernaut it is today. Jessica made sure to schedule streaming times, set hours for her to work with sponsors and with other aspects of their business via email and phone conferences, and most importantly, establish down time away from the Ninja empire. With so much going on and such immense success in a short period of time, a personal life often takes a back seat. But Jessica was adamant about making sure she and Ninja always had time for each other. This has helped ensure their relationship stays strong.

It's no secret that one of the biggest problems that plagues the world of professional gaming is health issues related to a sedentary lifestyle. Becoming successful enough on Twitch to be able to earn a decent living means that streamers need to stream at least eight hours a day, and most stream even more than this. This constant stasis and lack of activity often leads to health issues that can sometimes have serious results.

Though Jessica and her husband are integral parts of the online gaming community, she is still an advocate for an active and healthy lifestyle. This stance seems especially important given the issues that have been seen in recent years surrounding the health problems gamers have been experiencing. Not only does Jessica give her fans and viewers tips on how to stay fit and active, but she, herself, live a healthy lifestyle. She and her husband Tyler have been known to participate in marathons, among other things, in order to keep themselves in peak condition.

Jessica Blevins isn't always the one behind the camera. In addition to her social media presence and her past Twitch streams, Jessica was also recently on Celebrity Family Feud. She played the game with husband Ninja and in-laws Chris, Jodi, and Jon. And while this wasn't Ninja's first time on the show, Jessica was able to hold her own during her debut. The group went up against Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster and his family. And though the showdown was a close one, Jessica and her family were able to raise a significant amount of money for the charity Stack Up and win the game.

The game show was a great opportunity to see a more candid side of Jessica and Ninja together. The two laughed at each other's answers and clapped along in support whenever they got an answer right. The chance to see the family interaction between not only Jessica and Ninja, but between the rest of the family as well, gave fans a better insight into who the celebrity couple really is, away from Fortnite. 

Being an internet personality can be a difficult thing. Being a manager to another internet celebrity on top of that can only make the job that much more difficult. While Jessica has to deal with her own social media, she's also responsible for her husband Ninja's image as well. And when people try to spread rumors or bash the Fortnite player, Jessica is quick to come to his aide.

In December 2018, streamer NEACE decided to take a shot at Ninja, saying that he had sold out and that while the two used to be good friends, Ninja's newfound wealth and status had changed him. Jessica was quick to tell followers that NEACE had been given many opportunities by the Blevinses, and that they could only do so much for the streamer. A similar event occurred when Ninja won the Shorty Award for 2018 Twitch Streamer of the Year. When he won and wasn't there to accept the honor, many streamers attacked him online, saying he was ungrateful. Yet again, Jessica was quick to defend her husband and client, letting them know that no one had informed Ninja of the nomination.
