Early lives

[edit]

Matthew, Nicolas, and Christopher Sturniolo are identical triplets who were born on August 1, 2003 in Somerville, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston.[3][4][5] Matt is the youngest of the three; Nick and Chris are two and four minutes older than him, respectively. Their surname is of Italian origin and they have one older brother named Justin. Their mother, MaryLou, is a former family liaison for Somerville Public Schools. They attended Benjamin G. Brown School for elementary school, where they were cast as the three-headed dog Cerberus in a school play. Chris and Matt both played various sports growing up, including hockey and lacrosse. The family's house burned down the summer before their junior year of high school, forcing them to move to an apartment.[1] Nick is openly gay and came out to his brothers in 2019 during an argument about dating a girl, later publicly coming out in a post to his Instagram account in April 2020.[6] The triplets graduated from Somerville High School in 2021.[1]

Career

[edit]

The Sturniolo Triplets posted their first YouTube video, a Q&A video of them eating food in a McDonald's parking lot in their mother's minivan while wearing costumes from the Dollar Tree, in October 2020 during their senior year of high school.[1] From then, they chiefly posted videos of themselves casually conversing and arguing with one another in the car about random and humorous topics, which made them popular online, earning them over 25 thousand subscribers by July 2021.[3][4] They had amassed over two and a half million YouTube subscribers, over one million Instagram followers, and over three and a half million TikTok followers in 2022, the same year they made an oral contract with WME and moved to Los Angeles.[1] The following year, their YouTube channel rose to having four million subscribers, while their TikTok account grew to having five million followers. From January to February 2023, they embarked on the national Let's Trip Tour.[7] In March 2023, they joined the podcast network Studio71 for their podcast Cut the Camera.[8][9] By 2024, they had more than 8.8 million TikTok followers, six and a half million YouTube subscribers, and more than three million Instagram followers.[6][5] In January 2024, Nick launched the lip balm brand Space Camp Wellness.[10][11]

PinkNews wrote that the Sturniolo Triplets' YouTube fame and fan base could be attributed to "their particular brand of chaos".[6] Boston named them Boston's "best YouTube power trio" of 2023, with Amanda Lucidi of the magazine writing that their "bicker[ing] about literally nothing" had "a certain charm" that became "especially endearing when the trio breaks from play-bickering crosstalk to tend to one brother's itchy back emergency".[4][7] Also for the magazine, Alyssa Giocobbe wrote that they were "cute", "charming", and "taking Zoomers' hearts by storm". For Elite Daily, Rachel Chapman wrote that their appeal came from "their content feel[ing] candid and relatable" and the triplets "each hav[ing] their own individual personalities and senses of humor". Fan edits of the triplets also became popular online in 2024.[11] They were included on The Hollywood Reporter's list of 2024's "most influential influencers", where their content was praised as "simple and simply hilarious".[5] As of 2022, they are managed by Laura Filipowicz, a onetime travel blogger with whom they live in Los Angeles.[1]
