D&Z Family’s Zay Alexander found safe after worrying Instagram posts
Instagram: dzfamily_Popular Instagram, TikTok and YouTube personality Zay Alexander, part of the ‘D&Z Family’, has been found safe and well by police, after posting worrying messages on social media.
Alexander is known for his family-oriented content with his partner, Desiree, focused on the upcoming birth of their child, and their young daughters, Zoey and Jade.
On the D&Z Family Instagram account, Zay posted an image of him in tears, and said it would be his last post.
“I just can’t take it mentally anymore,” it said. “Fight everyday and I can’t shake this, it may not be the best choice but better than the way I am feeling.”
The post went on to explain his raw emotions, thanking his wife, but ultimately signaling to followers that he is considering suicide.
On his personal Instagram story, he posted a blank image with the caption “thinking about ending it all.”
Later on January 16, Desiree posted an update on their Instagram story, stating: “The police have found him and I’ve finally spoken to him. He’s safe.”
Due to some previous pranks from the couple, she also hit back at accusations that this was a prank for attention. “And for those of you all thinking this is a prank, this is real life we are dealing with…
“Nothing to joke or play about, all I ask is that you keep our family in your prayers.”
The couple has grown a successful YouTube channel with over 300,000 subscribers, in addition to similar follower counts on Instagram and TikTok.
