Alex is married to Nik Hirschi, who doubles as her manager and cameraman. A former banker, Nik started working full time on his wife’s content in 2018 and has been instrumental in her success.

While he does pop up in some of Alex’s videos and social media posts, Nik largely takes a back seat and lets his wife soak up the fame and glory stemming from their hard work and shared passion. What a guy, eh?

Last year, Hirschi told Britain’s GQ magazine that she had sold her beloved Lamborghini Huracan before lockdown, and didn’t even have her own wheels when the pandemic struck.

“I didn’t actually have a car at all for three months,” she revealed. “But I just got the new Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge. And I also just got a new car delivery ... a McLaren 720S. We also put a deposit down on a Tesla Cybertruck, but that won’t be out for a year or so.”

And just like that, she’s got a garage that most people can only dream of.
