Claud Claud Claud let me just tell you how meaningful captivating and fulfilling these episodes are. Like truly this is what we need on TH-cam, the authenticity and truth you guys display and is bringing to TH-cam is honestly amazing. I love everything about your channel and honestly see so many things happening for you in the future. (Manifesting and speaking it into existence for you) . Every single Wednesday I look forward to your channel -- your want to be little sister 🥰
@@claudeandco. I love ❤️ watching your channel cause you real you tell your stories and I love them . God bless your family and you wasn’t nervous anymore yah a natural .
my husband and I have a similar story. We dated from 15 yrs old. We married at 18 yrs old. Too much to text. We been together now for 52 years married in October. Relationships are not easy but love wins
Nerlaine, thank you so much ♥️ And we will definitely be talking more about our relationship - the breakup, our marriage and our surprise wedding ♥️♥️♥️ ☺️
Adrienne always talks about how much she loves her sister and how amazing her sister is. I understand now! I’ve only seen three video’s from Claude & Co since so far, but I can already see what a beautiful person Claude is!💕.. and also.. these 20 minutes felt like 5 hahah. I can’t wait for more content😍
Claude's face when Gerd was talking about being miserable during the break is hilarious. It gave "I'm the best you ever had, ya tu sabes" lmaoooo so sweet
Aww I love the “honeymoon phase” remark. That’s what I had with my husband. We dated throughout our 20s and got married at 30. Wouldn’t change a thing 🥰🥰🥰
My husband says he just looked at me and thought, “if God gave me the opportunity I would wife her” we hadn’t even talked yet! Similar moments for our men🥰 love your intentional content and conscious vibes💕
I didn’t know that you guys had broken up for a year, I would love to hear more about that time of growth for the both of you, such a beautiful love story, so happy for you all, love to everyone!
I've been on a greyhound bus girl!!! This girl literally turned around in her seat to ask me for 1 of my sandwiches I made from home because I chose not to spend money on food that day. It was 2019. I was headed to buy a car!!!🤣🤣🤣 I love u guys soooooo much! Claude I adore u ur mom and A!!!! I love ur personalities and I think u all are absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!! And I dated a guy out of town and drove to see him as well when I was super young! PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THE SURPRISE WEDDING!!!
Ooffff those greyhound buses are NO joke!!! 😆 Can you imagine doing it from 2005-2008 … I was done lol Thank you for sharing ♥️ and ohhh yesss surprise wedding- we will be covering that! ☺️👍🏼
@@claudeandco. Omg no!!! That just means you REALLY REALLY loved him!!! I just did it for about 4 no more than 5 months!!!! Plus I was driving in my old corolla! 🤣🤣🤣 I bought a cash car when I was in high school and drove that lemon on a prayer to see him 😂 Also thank you sooooo much for responding! Many influencers don't take the time to respond. Even if it's an assistant responding it is very exciting to get replies because we have the joy of knowing that u CARE🥰🥰🥰 I can tell your wedding was beautiful and super fun!!!
As a person in this day and age dating and trying to find a forever partner, this confirms that I should never settle. In a way, I cannot believe a love like this even exists. Thank you for being that example.
My cheeks hurt from smiling the whole video. Keep loving each other the way you do and keep God first and may he continue to bless your union. I'm so proud of you guys.
The thought of Claud taking the train late at night - from The Bronx to LES - lets me know she was DEF devoted to Gerd b/c the subway is LOCAL after midnight…if you know, YOU KNOW 😅
oh my goodness I had no idea that Gerd was even into music before. Wow, this was so fun! I absolutely love your channel. TH-cam hasn't had much going on for quite some time now so I'm really glad to see some new content :D Excited about this journey. stay blessed 💖
Yes would love to hear about the surprise wedding. We need a part 2. Surprise wedding when the kids were born how did you feel at that time. Those babies are beautiful. I could listen to y'all all day.
Thank you Victoria ♥️ we will definitely be talking more on our relationship (marriage) and our surprise wedding is in the works ♥️☺️ thanks again for tuning in!
Y’all… this ministered to me in so many ways! In all honesty I see your family today and wondered if you guys dealt with “mother/daughter” issues. That’s a whole episode within itself. I am a Mom of 2 daughters in their 20’s & it can be challenging. To hear your Mom, helped me to realize it’s not just me and there is hope. Prayer & Therapy is giving me balance and so much support. So many essential nuggets to this story. Keep up the good work Claude&Co.!
🥲 don’t know why this made me tear up. Actually I know why… because i know it’s not easy. I have 2 daughters and I love them so much, I can’t imagine them behaving the way I did. I love my mom so much, always have. Daughters love their moms but it can be so difficult to find that freedom that 20 year olds crave and oofff I was so sassy. 🤦🏻♀️I’m glad she prayed and went to therapy and prayed some more. And she always prayed for my friends and for who was to be my future spouse. And I am already doing the same. I hope things get easier … they will. Thank you for sharing this ♥️
@@claudeandco. I was the same way with my mom. I would lie and say I was staying over my ex sister in laws house but in reality the whole entire weekend I was with my then boyfriend, now my husband. We have one daughter together almost two years old. We have been together for almost 16 yrs and married almost 4. Love you love story. I would love to hear about ur relationship with your mom? And your rebel times.
@@claudeandco. Look at God! Your response made my evening.. I am so grateful. Thank you so much for your transparency, you are going to reach so many people. 🙏🏽
Mother and daughter relationships definitely are something 😭 I’m in my 20s currently and I deeply felt that statement. I really hope you all decide to do a culture episode of both Claudette’s and Gerd’s cultures! My family heritage/my mothers family is Trinidadian 🇹🇹 so I’d I love to hear about his experiences! Your love story is definitely a testimony that God’s plans are always on point 🙏🏽 ❤️✨!! Such a beautiful couple 🥺🥳 Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you soooo much for sharing these words, these thoughts ♥️ really appreciate it! And yessss definitely want to do an episode on that! We touch on it lightly on an episode coming up! Stay tuned ☺️♥️🇹🇹
Lunch breaks with Claude and Co.! This is a beautiful love story. I love the transparency. Thank you Claud and Gerd for sharing. I’m so happy that you guys made it though all the adversity and now are successful together and raising your beautiful girls. Life is so sweet!
How is it possible to fall in love with two people based on just two videos. You guys are truly one. I love your calmness, your journey and advice through out. I was telling my husband, what a breath of fresh air you guys are. Blessings to you and your family.
Mother and daughter relationships are HARD! I am going thru it right now. I would die for my children, please know this. My daughter is a strong, independent, smart woman! I am so ready for her to go to med school already! Gerd seems to be an amazing man! Love your love story! Thank you for sharing! 🌺
Could you discuss the break up in another episode? Why and what made you decide to come back together. And any advice for people who need to make such a decision. Lovely video by the way 😇
Beautiful story... "all roads led to Claude". We need a part 2 guys, special wedding and more of the how you got back together after the breakup. Big hugs from UK 🇬🇧❤️
I think my favorite comment was Gerd correcting you about how you talked to your mom. It’s one thing to have a man that wants you to look good or compliment him aesthetically, but to have someone who truly cares about your character! Speaks volumes! You guys compliment each other beautifully!! Love this channel! Also your cheekbones are TOP TIER!
I am addicted! I want to know more about you as a couple, as individuals, as parents, as children/growing up, and well pretty much everything! 🙃🥰 I love 💕 a beautiful, raw and real life love story! 🥺😉 I’m so glad you have a you tube! Can’t wait to hear more & thank you for being so transparent & open! ☺️
When you were talking about grinding, working so so hard and living a simpler life, to when you mentioned how you truly appreciated everything so much more because of how hard you worked really resonated with me. I have one more year of nursing school left and I am working as well as being a mommy. So hearing from you that things get better and seeing how far you’ve come really made me feel like working harder and pushing myself more in this journey is going to be so worth it in the end. Thank you guys for sharing your story with us and I cant wait to keep watching❤️☺️
Rocio, thank you for sharing this. And congrats on your Nursing journey- ohhhhh wait until you are working and reaping what you have sown woooooohoooooo!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 no better feeling!!! So exciting!!! Thank you so much for tuning in and for the love! ♥️♥️♥️
Girl Claude … you and Co. gonna have to put an EMO button on all your vids! This is the second one I legit shed a tear. You ABSOLUTELY can tell how much love is shared here! A great love story! I def didn’t know Gerd was musically inclined. He def gave off 90s R&B vibes in the throwbacks. To hear how hard you both worked, it just is super inspiring to see where you are. Not just your beautiful home, but you seem very peaceful and at peace in ur relationship and life. Def wanna hear the surprise wedding story!
This sounds exactly like me and my husband love story. I’m Ecuadorian from NYC and he’s West Indian from NYC. I moved in with him with a lot of shame from my moms family. We are in our 20s it’s been rough sometimes but each day we are learning and growing ❤️
The way Gerd looks at Claude says it all. My hubby and I was like whatttttt. 😍🔥 Lol The power of Love is something else. The one above brought these two genuine soul together. Gerd spoke from his heart. Wow! We need to hear those pipes Gerd. 🎤🎶 We know Queen Claude can sing. I need the tea on the breakup. More por favor. ☺
Claude I love the story of how you knew he was the one😍 My daughter is 18 and I struggle with her finding her independence. She always wants to be out and about. We fight about it often and I wish there was someone to tell her “don’t speak to your mother like that” 🤣and everyday I am learning to give her independence, but it is so tough especially when in your eyes they are still your babies🥲
@@omphilemoerane2569 Thank you 😊Yes I do let her go out and I always do remind her school goes 1st above all. She is a great kid, I just wish the attitude was better😜but I can’t have it all, so I’ll deal with it😂
Father God I pray that you keep this family under your wings. I pray also that you continue to work on Claude to not be ashamed of sharing any of her gifts and her husbands for your glory in Jesus' Mighty name. Amen. Blessings 🙏🕊💖
20 min episodes are just not enough! 🥺 I am hooked! I want to hear about the 1year break up, surprise wedding and what mamis thoughts were because she said it was hard for her. I am a fan! ♥️
Girl I don't comment on nobodies videos but I just LOVE your family and this love story feels so familiar. Very relatable. You are so down to earth and probably my favorite TH-cam channel of all time at the moment. So excited for all the content you will be bringing. On my 3rd video of yours and cannot wait to see what else you do.
So beautiful, so real too. Often people would only highlight the ups in life, but the downs are so important too. The downs in life shape us, we love different, we walk different... It's different when we learn from our downs. Marriage is a beautiful thing, this video put a smile in my heart, you're awesome Claude.
LOL Seriously I can't be watching this channel during work hours and crying😄! The part when Gerd said you can't be my girlfriend if you talk to your mother like that...you know you got a good one!! Also your mom looks so classy with the black on black outfit and the red nails! Go Nilda!!
♥️☺️ thanks for tuning in! Yessss we will definitely be doing an episode on the surprise wedding! And this Wednesday we will be talking about our decision to homeschool … hope you tune in for that one 👍🏼♥️☺️
I like that Claude was so upfront with the question of "Do you have any kids?" Even at the age that they were I still knew people that had children at 14, 15 and 16. And I'm not knocking that. You can definitely have children early and meet and marry someone. So I'm not saying that things won't work out for you if you have kids that young. But you have to know yourself and what you are able to deal with in any relationship no matter the age. I really like their love story. I thought I was going to cry because I'm a romantic. But I made it through the video. And I'm glad that I watched. I'm really impressed with all that they've accomplished. Both can sing. He went to both Yale and Duke. And she was a waitress, makeup artist and later a nurse.
Claude is gorgeous! Aging like fine wine 🍷! Of course I would like to hear about the surprise wedding. 😊 You guys were meant for each other. What a beautiful family you guys have!
I cant wait to watch this! Ive been waiting to hear this story for years! Before you created your channel, I always wished that you would tell this story on Adriennes youtube channel, so I am super excited to hear this story today💗
@@claudeandco. Oh my you are so humble! I enjoyed this video so much! My favourite part was at 12:00 when Gerd said that when you grow from conflict, it takes you to another level and when you see the positives come out of a negative its a good thing… I literally sat for a second and paused because I thought I was hearing myself speak! I am always telling myself this and I always tell my friends and family the same thing. You and Gerd are such a beautiful couple and I am so glad you two are together! Thank you so much once again for another amazing video! 🤗💕
You know the series Black Love... you guys are ‘God’s Love’ through and through. Nothing but greatness and testimony. I could listen to the two of you for hours. So yes we wanna hear about the year apart, the secret wedding, the pregnancies/births. Heck just FaceTime me because these 20 minutes aren’t enough lol Gerald talking about being bet on reminds me my situation in so many ways. Patience patience patience is you guy’s testimony and I pray it’s mine 🙏🏾
Absolutely want to hear about the surprise wedding, that's so unique! What a beautiful love story. I loved hearing about your early days when you were hustling, studying and living abroad. In another video please let us know why you broke up for a year
Claude!! That question about kids at the age of 21 was not WRONG AT ALL !!!! Girl, that was always my question when I met a guy at that age and so forth because I didn't want to deal with any man with kids and babymama drama! Funny thing is I've been blessed with a good man but he has three beautiful kids. I'm still kid-free. However, I always think about the statement "If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans".
I NEED MORE! Wow, love is truly so beautiful. You both were meant to be together and life proved that in every way. From struggle to balance it is amazing.
Wow, wow, wow! Seriously, the content is the best on You Tube..hands down. This show needs to be the standard. What a beautiful, sweet, enduring love story! I could see the respect you have for each other prior to this, now we have a glimpse into the journey that developed that. Thank you so much (again) for sharing, whatever else you choose put out here, I am here for it. Claude & Co is thoughtful, beautifully curated and excellent!
Your voice is so soothing, I just want you to read me a bedtime story. 😂😂😂 Beautiful couple! ❤️ I definitely wanna hear about the surprise wedding!!!!! 🥰
Beautiful Love Story!!! Reminds me of my union with my hubby. I’m soooo glad we both started off in our relationship hustling. We lived in a small apartment and living on a limited income. But BAAAAAAABEEEE GOD has blessed us abundantly and we are living a life I only dreamt about. I’m so grateful and thankful for those hard days.
Wow! This is such an amazing LOVE ❤️ STORY. It’s not easy I have 4 children and I’m in my early 30s and I pray everyday my daughters don’t act the way I was when I was younger🤦🏽♀️. You guys are GOALS😍 I hope for my Love Life to be like this in the future! Thanks Claude for the amazing content 💕
It sounds to me like Claud gave so much of herself (she gave it all) and Gerd gave what he could. When Gerd finally found himself he was like, “I got you from this moment forward,” and he did, he really did. I suppose the psychology of it is women get it right away and men take a little longer to get it (and that’s ok), but when they do and both parties are on the same page… the possibilities are endless. Thank you both for being so transparent and honest about the little things that make up the chemistry of your relationship. It is truly inspiring to see how life can be so beautiful even in the most difficult of moments. I remember seeing the episode of Claud’s birthday when Gerd was telling her “this house is under your name.” The magnitude of that moment totally makes sense now and I am here for it! May God bless you both richly in all things life. 💕
Oh my goodness I'm so embarrassed but after listening to your story I think I cried, It was beautiful better than any romance novel I've seen in a while. I really just love you guys and I'm so proud, This is what happens when 2 good kids meet kids make it happen.
This just showed up on my recommended and I have to say, thank you for sharing this! The authenticity and vulnerability is so important. All I ever saw growing up was broken people in broken relationships on both sides of my family, including my parents. I'm grateful God gave me the wisdom to trust that there was better out there & to not become jaded. But seeing it in real time like this ALWAYS hits different. It's always such an encouragement! God bless y'all! 🥲💕
Thanks for posting this and sharing your channel with us Claude I already feel like I know you through A’s channel and I can’t wait to get to know more! You said that you recorded some videos or you guys house hunting before you got this place please consider releasing those videos too. It would be amazing to see you first reaction to this house!
Im 24, grinding, did the long distance for years. This is inspiring to keep going, fighting the good fight for the one you love 🤍 so much love to you and your family.
Hey Doll, Just Beautiful! Please share dets on the surprise wedding. Do a video on your Mom and Daughter dynamic in the early days vs your relationship now
I think this is one of my new favorite channels on TH-cam. The authenticity, the story telling, the love. This was just incredible, thank you for sharing your story Claude and Gerd. I will eagerly listen to any upcoming stories about wedding, self-discovery, relationship advice. Anything you’re willing to share, I’ll click.💗 this was beautiful
When Claude talk about grinding it makes me think of my husband back then and how now thst everyone we have we are so incredibly grateful and is a bonus. So true
So blessed to stumble on this video. As a mother of two daughters, your mom is so relatable as I’m raising my 2 daughters. You also have such a beautiful love story❤️🙏🏼

There’s just something so soothing about Claudette’s voice. I love it 😩
Omgoodness thank you sooooo much ♥️ I wish my kids felt that way 😆
@@claudeandco. LOL!
@@claudeandco. it’s true. You should consider doing meditations/ reading bible verses or audiobooks. We would all subscribe 🙋🏽♀️
@@claudeandco. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Well, I guess the mom voice comes in all sizes, tones and shapes 🤣🤣🤣
@@claudeandco. lol your voice is so calming! Your voice definitely needs to be on the Calm App for sure!!!
Claude’s “I’m not going to lie” is equivalent to Adrienne’s “Love love love”! Definitely your catch phrase, Claude! This video was so heartfelt 🥰
🤣🤣🤣 I am just realizing how many times I said it 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️
Yes! or when she says "I can't make this up" on the Real.
Claudette is GORGEOUS! Sheesh! And her bone structure is TOP TIER
If “when God writes your love story” was a couple, you guys would be it. I love, love your love story 🥺❤️. Thank you for sharing
🥲♥️ wow … thank you 🙏🏼
my husband and I have a similar story. We dated from 15 yrs old. We married at 18 yrs old. Too much to text. We been together now for 52 years married in October. Relationships are not easy but love wins
my hubby Jamaican heritage born in Queens NY
Imagine a man feeling this way about you.. he knew, I love hearing stories like this! 🥺
♥️🥲☺️
Anna, i’m here trying to imagine. Whewwww
Exactly, and you can tell the love he has for her by the way he looks at her while she speaks and strokes her hair as well!!
I love how Gerd is so affectionate with Claude playing with her hair and the smile on his face when she talks…
♥️☺️♥️
He was plotting lol. Men are going to go after what they want. Good job Gerd. Love this story💕
Yea girl no kids 😂
He sure was! 😆 ♥️♥️♥️ thanks for tuning in ☺️
Now I can see why Adrienne loves her sister so much. Claudette is such an amazing person I can tell WOW

Thank you guys for sharing your story with us and I cant wait to keep watching❤️☺️
Rocio, thank you for sharing this. And congrats on your Nursing journey- ohhhhh wait until you are working and reaping what you have sown woooooohoooooo!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 no better feeling!!! So exciting!!!
Thank you so much for tuning in and for the love! ♥️♥️♥️
Girl Claude … you and Co. gonna have to put an EMO button on all your vids! This is the second one I legit shed a tear. You ABSOLUTELY can tell how much love is shared here! A great love story! I def didn’t know Gerd was musically inclined. He def gave off 90s R&B vibes in the throwbacks. To hear how hard you both worked, it just is super inspiring to see where you are. Not just your beautiful home, but you seem very peaceful and at peace in ur relationship and life. Def wanna hear the surprise wedding story!
Love this video but it for sure could have been 45 minutes. Love hearing your love story! 🥰 Please share your wedding story!!! Much love to you both!
Thank you soooo much ♥️♥️♥️
And yessss we will definitely be sharing that! 🥰
Agreed
Claud, I’m in a relationship and I hope God can bless me with a marriage like yours.
Why would u not think u stoped hes heart? Your stunning like Adrienne! Congrats to you and beautiful family. The home is also gorgeous too
Claude is such an Elegant, Sophisticated, Calm, Poised, Gorgeous Lady!!🥰
Thank you Lisa!
I love this!🥰 sending you guys lots of love from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹. We love you!🇹🇹🙌🏾💃🏾
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹♥️♥️♥️ forever … and thank you ♥️🙏🏼
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Me too 🇹🇹
When I heard him say "I am from Trinidad 🇹🇹" gave me chills I was so proud..
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Oh my gosh the break up part caught me by surprise...what a beautiful story...❤.🇿🇦
This sounds exactly like me and my husband love story. I’m Ecuadorian from NYC and he’s West Indian from NYC. I moved in with him with a lot of shame from my moms family. We are in our 20s it’s been rough sometimes but each day we are learning and growing ❤️
The way Gerd looks at Claude says it all. My hubby and I was like whatttttt. 😍🔥 Lol The power of Love is something else. The one above brought these two genuine soul together. Gerd spoke from his heart. Wow! We need to hear those pipes Gerd. 🎤🎶 We know Queen Claude can sing. I need the tea on the breakup. More por favor. ☺
Claude I love the story of how you knew he was the one😍 My daughter is 18 and I struggle with her finding her independence. She always wants to be out and about. We fight about it often and I wish there was someone to tell her “don’t speak to your mother like that” 🤣and everyday I am learning to give her independence, but it is so tough especially when in your eyes they are still your babies🥲
Let her go out mama but she must keep focused on her school work as well and always share her location and Uber rides with you.
@@omphilemoerane2569 Thank you 😊Yes I do let her go out and I always do remind her school goes 1st above all. She is a great kid, I just wish the attitude was better😜but I can’t have it all, so I’ll deal with it😂
Father God I pray that you keep this family under your wings. I pray also that you continue to work on Claude to not be ashamed of sharing any of her gifts and her husbands for your glory in Jesus' Mighty name. Amen. Blessings 🙏🕊💖
Adrienne brought me but I'm loving this so far. You seem like people I want to know more about.
20 min episodes are just not enough! 🥺 I am hooked! I want to hear about the 1year break up, surprise wedding and what mamis thoughts were because she said it was hard for her. I am a fan! ♥️
I would love an episode about the "mother + daughter" relationship during the time when you first moved in with Gerd!
Girl I don't comment on nobodies videos but I just LOVE your family and this love story feels so familiar. Very relatable. You are so down to earth and probably my favorite TH-cam channel of all time at the moment. So excited for all the content you will be bringing. On my 3rd video of yours and cannot wait to see what else you do.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. It’s so appreciated
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have been waiting for the Claud and Gerd love story for so long ❤️🥰🙏🏿
Lisa! Thank you sooo much ♥️♥️♥️🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
@@claudeandco. I'm loving this channel❤️❤️
The way they love each other is cute. He surely remembers. The way he looks at her, it's like he sees the entirety of her essence. ♥️♥️
☺️🥲♥️
So beautiful, so real too. Often people would only highlight the ups in life, but the downs are so important too. The downs in life shape us, we love different, we walk different... It's different when we learn from our downs. Marriage is a beautiful thing, this video put a smile in my heart, you're awesome Claude.
LOL Seriously I can't be watching this channel during work hours and crying😄! The part when Gerd said you can't be my girlfriend if you talk to your mother like that...you know you got a good one!! Also your mom looks so classy with the black on black outfit and the red nails! Go Nilda!!
Yes!! We need a wedding story episode!! Would also love an episode on homeschooling!!!
♥️☺️ thanks for tuning in! Yessss we will definitely be doing an episode on the surprise wedding! And this Wednesday we will be talking about our decision to homeschool … hope you tune in for that one 👍🏼♥️☺️
Lol just here watching over old episodes because I just cant wait for the new episode drop tomorrow!!
I like that Claude was so upfront with the question of "Do you have any kids?" Even at the age that they were I still knew people that had children at 14, 15 and 16. And I'm not knocking that. You can definitely have children early and meet and marry someone. So I'm not saying that things won't work out for you if you have kids that young. But you have to know yourself and what you are able to deal with in any relationship no matter the age. I really like their love story. I thought I was going to cry because I'm a romantic. But I made it through the video. And I'm glad that I watched. I'm really impressed with all that they've accomplished. Both can sing. He went to both Yale and Duke. And she was a waitress, makeup artist and later a nurse.
I’m ready for an episode of just you and your mom. I know she will give us great consejos regarding mother and daughter relationship.
Claude is gorgeous! Aging like fine wine 🍷! Of course I would like to hear about the surprise wedding. 😊 You guys were meant for each other. What a beautiful family you guys have!
I cant wait to watch this! Ive been waiting to hear this story for years! Before you created your channel, I always wished that you would tell this story on Adriennes youtube channel, so I am super excited to hear this story today💗
Happy to hear this ♥️ hope you enjoy it. It’s a bit challenging to tell the whole story in 20 min 😆♥️
@@claudeandco. Oh my you are so humble! I enjoyed this video so much! My favourite part was at 12:00 when Gerd said that when you grow from conflict, it takes you to another level and when you see the positives come out of a negative its a good thing… I literally sat for a second and paused because I thought I was hearing myself speak! I am always telling myself this and I always tell my friends and family the same thing. You and Gerd are such a beautiful couple and I am so glad you two are together! Thank you so much once again for another amazing video! 🤗💕
🥲♥️ I’m glad you enjoyed this. 🙏🏼 and that it resonated with you!
I’m crying.
@@lishason89 such a beautiful video💖
This is so sweet! Thank you for sharing your throw back pics loved going down memory lane with you
Jahaira, thank you for watching ☺️♥️🙏🏼
@@claudeandco. of course ! I love the humble beginnings of the relationship and seeing the life you were able to create now for yourself!
You know the series Black Love... you guys are ‘God’s Love’ through and through. Nothing but greatness and testimony. I could listen to the two of you for hours. So yes we wanna hear about the year apart, the secret wedding, the pregnancies/births. Heck just FaceTime me because these 20 minutes aren’t enough lol
Gerald talking about being bet on reminds me my situation in so many ways. Patience patience patience is you guy’s testimony and I pray it’s mine 🙏🏾
Absolutely want to hear about the surprise wedding, that's so unique! What a beautiful love story. I loved hearing about your early days when you were hustling, studying and living abroad. In another video please let us know why you broke up for a year
Thank you so much for tuning in ♥️🙏🏼…
Oh and yes we will definitely be covering our break up… not easy but it will be done. ☺️👍🏼
@@claudeandco. Love tuning in! Getting your Wednesday notification makes me smile :) I'm sure it will be very relatable
Beautiful and lovely! Claude and Co., we would love to see another episode of this heartwarming love story... I honestly love this Channel.
Claude!! That question about kids at the age of 21 was not WRONG AT ALL !!!! Girl, that was always my question when I met a guy at that age and so forth because I didn't want to deal with any man with kids and babymama drama! Funny thing is I've been blessed with a good man but he has three beautiful kids. I'm still kid-free. However, I always think about the statement "If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans".
I NEED MORE! Wow, love is truly so beautiful. You both were meant to be together and life proved that in every way. From struggle to balance it is amazing.
I live in Belgium so I almost spit out my water when I heard you have traveled to our tiny little country ❤
Wow, wow, wow! Seriously, the content is the best on You Tube..hands down. This show needs to be the standard.
What a beautiful, sweet, enduring love story! I could see the respect you have for each other prior to this, now we have a glimpse into the journey that developed that.
Thank you so much (again) for sharing, whatever else you choose put out here, I am here for it.
Claude & Co is thoughtful, beautifully curated and excellent!
Love this story so much, i smiled all the way through. Big up Trinidad! 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🙌
Your voice is so soothing, I just want you to read me a bedtime story. 😂😂😂 Beautiful couple! ❤️ I definitely wanna hear about the surprise wedding!!!!! 🥰
Both their voices are soothing😭🤍 We need a Part 2!!!!
Beautiful Love Story!!!
Reminds me of my union with my hubby. I’m soooo glad we both started off in our relationship hustling. We lived in a small apartment and living on a limited income. But BAAAAAAABEEEE GOD has blessed us abundantly and we are living a life I only dreamt about. I’m so grateful and thankful for those hard days.
I'll love to hear more about the mixing of your different cultures. I'm from Trinidad btw.
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 Yesssssssss oh how I love my Trinis … well my husband and mother in law will be on an upcoming episode and we talk a little on that ♥️☺️
Me too🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
What a story. Love the story about the Greyhound bus. Memories of living in NYC. Beautiful love story.
Thank you ♥️🙏🏼 … and ohhhh them Greyhound buses 🤪
Long distance relationship between Montreal and New York means greyhound life!!!
WHAT AN AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY!! my new favorite TH-cam page…❤️ can’t wait for next episode
Wow! This is such an amazing LOVE ❤️ STORY. It’s not easy I have 4 children and I’m in my early 30s and I pray everyday my daughters don’t act the way I was when I was younger🤦🏽♀️. You guys are GOALS😍 I hope for my Love Life to be like this in the future! Thanks Claude for the amazing content 💕
Such an inspiring story! Thank you for sharing!! God is amazing!
This is an amazing love story, can’t wait to watch the break up story and surprise wedding.
It sounds to me like Claud gave so much of herself (she gave it all) and Gerd gave what he could. When Gerd finally found himself he was like, “I got you from this moment forward,” and he did, he really did. I suppose the psychology of it is women get it right away and men take a little longer to get it (and that’s ok), but when they do and both parties are on the same page… the possibilities are endless. Thank you both for being so transparent and honest about the little things that make up the chemistry of your relationship. It is truly inspiring to see how life can be so beautiful even in the most difficult of moments. I remember seeing the episode of Claud’s birthday when Gerd was telling her “this house is under your name.” The magnitude of that moment totally makes sense now and I am here for it! May God bless you both richly in all things life. 💕
Oh my goodness I'm so embarrassed but after listening to your story I think I cried, It was beautiful better than any romance novel I've seen in a while. I really just love you guys and I'm so proud, This is what happens when 2 good kids meet kids make it happen.
Aww can’t wait for more. Wish the videos were long I can sit here and just watch you guys talk all day.
Ofelia, thank you so much 🙏🏼 … that’s encouraging to hear ♥️♥️♥️
Right, I smiled the entire video. I love them.
Would love to hear about the wedding
This just showed up on my recommended and I have to say, thank you for sharing this! The authenticity and vulnerability is so important. All I ever saw growing up was broken people in broken relationships on both sides of my family, including my parents. I'm grateful God gave me the wisdom to trust that there was better out there & to not become jaded. But seeing it in real time like this ALWAYS hits different. It's always such an encouragement! God bless y'all! 🥲💕
Thanks for posting this and sharing your channel with us Claude I already feel like I know you through A’s channel and I can’t wait to get to know more!
You said that you recorded some videos or you guys house hunting before you got this place please consider releasing those videos too. It would be amazing to see you first reaction to this house!
Thank you ♥️🙏🏼… ahhh yes I gotta dig those up. 🤔 ☺️
Im 24, grinding, did the long distance for years. This is inspiring to keep going, fighting the good fight for the one you love 🤍 so much love to you and your family.
Hi guys, Im so glad you decided to do a You Tube Channel. Im glad I stumbled across it. Can't wait to see more. Thank You for sharing.

I think this is one of my new favorite channels on TH-cam. The authenticity, the story telling, the love. This was just incredible, thank you for sharing your story Claude and Gerd. I will eagerly listen to any upcoming stories about wedding, self-discovery, relationship advice. Anything you’re willing to share, I’ll click.💗 this was beautiful
When Claude talk about grinding it makes me think of my husband back then and how now thst everyone we have we are so incredibly grateful and is a bonus. So true
