Nicholas Perry, widely recognized as Nikocado Avocado for his Mukbang content, is openly gay and was previously married to his ex-husband, Orlin Home.

Having been a subject of curiosity regarding his sexual orientation, Nicholas clarified this when he publicly identified as gay in 2016.

Nikocado Avocado married his husband, a fellow Mukbang YouTuber Rodrigo Gonzalez, aka Orlin Home, on April 10, 2017, with their wedding day Mukbang filmed at Chick-fil-A.

Orlin Home, a Colombian YouTuber born on August 8, 1995, is widely known for his mukbang videos and his on-and-off relationship with fellow content creator Nikocado Avocado.

They met in 2016 through a vegan Facebook group and began dating after meeting at the Woodstock Fruit Festival.

After traveling together in Central America, Nikocado gave up his musical career in 2014 to settle in Colombia with Orlin.

The couple lived there for three years before relocating to Florida, USA.

Perry reveals how YouTube has strained his marriage to Orlin, who is considering leaving him due to the constant online negativity in an emotional video titled “We Broke Up.”

In June 2020, in the video titled “Breaking Up With Orlin (on camera),” the openly gay couple argue as Orlin expresses frustration over Perry’s laziness and destructive behavior.

Orlin criticizes Perry for being selfish and irresponsible, while Perry dismisses the complaints and continues eating. The video highlights the ongoing tension in their relationship.

In August 2020, in the video titled “Catching Orlin With Another Man,” Perry confronts Orlin about alleged cheating, leading to a heated argument filled with accusations and sarcastic remarks.

Later in October 2021, in the video titled “Nikocado Avocado has a GIRLFRIEND,” Nikocado revealed his relationship with a woman introduced as his “lawyer,” but it plays on the comedic angle of their dynamic rather than claiming she’s his girlfriend.

On February 6, 2022, a video titled “I broke up with Nick…. Mukbang,” Orlin announces that he has broken up with Nick and expresses relief and happiness about his newfound freedom.

He explains how unhappy and unhealthy he had been while in the relationship, citing Nick’s increasing laziness, lack of independence, and their mutual weight gain as major issues.

Orlin says he can no longer care for Nick and is determined to focus on himself, regain his health, and live life on his own terms.

Later, on May 29, 2022, in a video titled “We’re Getting Married,” Nick and Orlin announce they’re getting married while humorously acknowledging the ongoing tension in their relationship.

Amid eating fast food leftovers, they banter about their struggles and poke fun at their habits, health issues, and marriage troubles.

Despite the lighthearted tone, they briefly discuss their past conflicts, revealing that they’ve had ongoing issues, but for the sake of the video, they keep things playful and comedic.

On June 20, 2022, in the video “Why We Can’t Break Up,” Nikocado Avocado and Orlin humorously discuss why they remain together despite frequent arguments.

Although they tease about kissing in the video, they don’t actually kiss, and the focus remains on their playful banter and mutual dependency.

Currently, Nikocado Avocado is single after divorcing Orlin Home following six years of marriage.

Nikocado Avocado Short Career and Weight Loss

His Mukbang content gained significant attention, and he then expanded his presence to other platforms like Cameo, TikTok, and OnlyFans.

Concerns about Perry’s health have grown due to his rapid weight gain and emotionally turbulent content.
