"Hi, everyone! My name is Tyler Oakley and I am back! I'm back y'all! It's been a long ass time since I sat down and filmed a YouTube video but here I am! My boys are going to be so freaking excited to see that I am actually filming a video! They have been asking me to do YouTube again for a while now, since they love YouTube and think it is really cool! And if you are wondering where the boys are, they are with their dad for the weekend! Just Crouton is here with me today! I'll definitely film a video with the boys soon!" Tyler says as he picks up Crouton and hugs him.


"I stopped posting regularly on YouTube after giving birth to my twins boys almost seven years ago because, I wanted them to have a somewhat normal life. With me being a "famous" person and their dad being a "famous" person, I wanted them to have a happy and normal childhood just like I did and just like their dad did. However, since the boys have gotten older now, they both have really wanted me to post more regularly on YouTube again, so that's what I'm doing! So I figured to start everything back up again, let's do a fun Q&A! I ask y'all on Instagram to ask me questions and I got a lot of questions, so let's get this started!" Tyler says happily to the vlogging camera. 




• I'm new here, what are your boys' names and who is their dad?


"I have a lot of new followers since becoming a "famous" Twitch streamer, so I'll do a brief explanation for all of you! So between ten and nine years ago, I met Troye Sivan online and we instantly became best friends! This was way before he was a famous singer he is now!" Tyler says as he laughs playfully and smiles.


"We both did YouTube at the time and everybody shipped us as Troyler! After we did the infamous Troyler Boyfriend Tag video, we actually became boyfriends! We were actually boyfriends when we made that video, fun fact. And then five months later, I became pregnant with our twins! I had NO idea I was a carrier man, so this was a big shock to the both of us. The both of us weren't interested in being parents at the time and it was a lot to take in. We were both super young but Troye was really young, he was almost a teen dad basically!" Tyler says as he giggles.


"Nine months later, we welcomed our twin boys, Archer and Sparrow! They are our life and we couldn't imagine our lives without them! They are at a really fun age now! They are independent at a lot of things and they can read books and play video games! This is a fun age!" Tyler says with a smile.



*Archer and Sparrow. Imagine Archer's hair being blonder then red and imagine Sparrow's hair being dark brown*


"As you can see, Archer looks like me and Sparrow looks like Troye! They are fraternal twins. Anyway, six months after the boys were born, Troye and I broke up. We broke up due to a lot of reasons, but not bad ones! No cheating or anything like that. We just moved way too fast and we were really young. It was the best for all of us to be apart. Ever since, we have been busy with our careers and co-parenting our boys! We are a family! You don't have to be together to be a family! All families are different and that's amazing!" Tyler says with a grin.




• Will Troyler ever be a thing again?


"No, Troyler will not be a thing again. Sorry guys! I know you guys loved us together and before we got together but that isn't happening. Troye and I are a family now and we are best friends. It would be really weird for us to date each other again to be honest! Being apart has been very beneficial for all of us and especially our boys. The boys were just babies when we broke up and they don't remember us being together, so this is all they know. They see that their Mom and Dad are both happy and that's all that matters. Troye and I have since dated other people and we are more happier as best friends and parents than a couple." Tyler explains as he fixes his glasses.




• Why did you leave Youtube after the boys were born?


"As I said in the beginning of the video, I wanted the boys to have a "normal" childhood. Normal meaning no vlogging, no paparazzi, no filming videos all of the time, no crazy work hours, just normalcy. The boys go to a public school, they are involved in lots after school activities like sports and arts! They have play dates and sleepovers with friends, they go places with their friends without being "spotted" or whatever. Nobody knew me as Tyler Oakley! Well, their friends' parents did, but their friends didn't know! I was just Archer and Sparrow's mom! Same with their dad, their friends' parents knew about Troye but the kids didn't. He was just Archer and Sparrow's dad! I didn't want my boys to be judged because their parents were famous. Just because their dad is a singer doesn't mean they will be one or just because I'm an influencer doesn't mean they will be one. I didn't want them to feel the pressure of being famous and a YouTube kid and I didn't want to them to feel like they have to act a certain way for me and a camera." Tyler says as he rubs Crouton's belly.


"I wanted the boys to learn at a young age to be authentic and themselves. A lot of parents get flack for vlogging their kids every move and I didn't want to do that. I wanted them to have a choice if they wanted to be filmed or not and they are at the age now that they can tell me. They tell me when they don't want their picture taken or filmed for an Instagram Story. And the reason I came back is because the boys really enjoy watching my older videos and seeing what I did before they were born and they said they wanted some memories filmed so they could look back. Will I post videos every week? Probably not! But I'll film what I wanna film or what the boys wanna film and just have fun with it!" Tyler says with a smile.




• How old are the boys?


"The boys are six years old now! It feels like yesterday they were born! And now they are active, smart, kind, wild, rambunctious boys! They will start first grade in a few weeks! Their birthday is February 15th which is Tyde's birthday too! Hi, Tyde!" Tyler says as he waves and smiles.




• How did you choose the boys names?


"When we found out we were having twin boys, Troye and I both decided that each of us will name a twin and we tried to make sure they blended well together too, which was a challenge!" Tyler says as he laughs.


"The name Archer was a name I always really liked while Sparrow was a name that Troye always really liked!" Tyler says as he throws a toy for Crouton to fetch.


"Archer's middle name is after my stepfather, Ken! I am extremely close to my stepdad, so I wanted to honor him with Archer's middle name. As for Sparrow, he didn't have a middle name until the day he and Archer were born! Troye had no idea on what name to chose!" Tyler says as he pets Crouton and laughs.


"So the boys were suppose to be born on February 25th but my water broke ten days earlier on February 15th! February 15th is Troye's little brother Tyde's birthday so Troye decided to have Sparrow's middle name be Tyde after him. So their names are Archer Ken and Sparrow Tyde!" Tyler says proudly with a big cheeky smile.




• Why did you and Troye hyphenate the boys last name?


"Because we both wanted our last names in their name! I guess it would have been different if we got married but to be honest I think we still would have hyphenated their last name. It is super common for people's last names to be hyphenated now a days! A lot of LGBT couples hyphenate their children's last names The boys last name is Oakley-Mellet! We thought that sounded nice." Tyler says with a smile.


"Fun fact, Troye's last name is Mellet and not Sivan! That's just his stage name! Just like my name is a Mathew and not Tyler. It's so weird saying or writing Troye Mellet but that's his name!" Tyler says as he giggles.




• How did you and Troye decide on what you want to be called?


"This is a great question to ask! Well, Troye didn't want to be called Papa or Pop or any other masculine parent name except for Dad. He picked Dad for himself while I picked Mommy or Mom. Troye didn't even want to be called Daddy by the boys. He just wanted to be called Dad. So if any of y'all wondered why the boys call him Dad and not Daddy, that's why. But sometimes the boys call him Daddy and Troye likes it. I thinj Troye sees the word Daddy as like a sex term and not a term a child uses which I think is hilarious!" Tyler says as he chuckles.


"As for me, I never liked the name Dad for myself or many masculine names. I say I an a dog dad but to me that's different then being a parent to actual children and not a dog. It's not like Crouton says Dad, you know? I googled all of these different names that LGBT+ parents use instead of the traditional names and none of them fit me. So I decided to be called Mom. I love being called Mom and it makes me feel happy to be a Mom. The boys call me Mom mostly but they sometimes call me Mommy which I love!" Tyler says with a cheeky grin.


"The boys understand that "Mom" is a "feminine name" and that most moms are women but they know that pet names like Mom and Dad can be any gender." Tyler explains to the camera.




• Are you seeing anyone at the moment?


Tyler's cheeks blush bright pink and he laughs loudly.


"Oh my gosh, I knew y'all would ask me this question! I rarely talked about my personal life back in the day when I was a full time YouTuber and even now I really don't talk about my personal life. However, I feel like since I have kids I should be more open with you guys! So the answer to this question is yes, I am seeing someone! I never thought in a million years that this person and I would get together but it's amazing and I love them very much!" Tyler says with a big cheeky smile.



• What is like having twins?


"Having twins is a lot of fun and a ton of work! As you can imagine it's double everything! Double the bottles, double the diapers, double the clothes, double the toys! It's a lot but also it was such a blessing and so fun! For the first two years we're A LOT! It was very overwhelming at times but I loved them as babies! The older they get, the easier it has been because they don't need my help 24/7 or me to entertain them 24/7. The boys are at a really fun age right now! They are still young enough where everything is exciting and fun and they believe in a lot of things!" Tyler says with a cheeky grin.




• Will you have anymore kids in the future?


"I would love to have more children some day! I really enjoy being a mom to my boys and I never thought I would be a mom until I found out I was a carrier and pregnant at the same time!" Tyler says as he chuckles.


"I would love to add more children into my family someday with a husband! I would like to be married before having anymore kids but if it doesn't happen that way then that's fine too!" Tyler says with a smile.


"Well, that's all of the questions I have for today! I hope you guys enjoyed this Q&A! I had really fun filling it! I can't believe I am back in YouTube again! Be sure to like, comment and subscribe! Also, follow me on all social media platforms! I'll see you guys next time! Bye!" Tyler says with a big smile as he waves goodbye.
