Rebecca Zamolo is an American content creator, actress, author, and digital entrepreneur who has built one of YouTube’s most successful family entertainment franchises. Born Rebecca Lynn Zamolo on September 28, 1982, in Martinez, California, she demonstrated a passion for performance from childhood — training as a competitive gymnast who earned regional and national titles before a health battle with ulcerative colitis altered her path. Following surgery to remove her colon at age 31, she emerged with renewed purpose and a determination to build a career around her authentic self.
Rebecca studied Communications at the University of California, Santa Barbara, before moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting and comedy. She appeared on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson as a recurring character and worked with Funny or Die, Yahoo, and Blip.TV. In 2011, she launched her YouTube channel, which grew steadily through challenge videos, DIY content, gymnastics feats, and comedic storytelling. Her channel now has over 18 million subscribers and 8.46 billion total views, earning her YouTube’s prestigious Diamond Creator Award for surpassing 10 million subscribers.
Rebecca’s biggest creative achievement is The Game Master Network, an escape-room-inspired detective adventure series she created with her husband, fellow YouTuber Matt Yoakum (known as Matt Slays), in 2018. The franchise centers on the couple solving cryptic clues to defeat a villain called the “YouTube Hacker” and spawned a spin-off video game developed with BoundaryLA, two books published by HarperCollins, and a subscription-based app offering exclusive content to fans. On TikTok, she has amassed 19.4 million followers, and she co-runs the Matt and Rebecca YouTube channel. According to Forbes’ 2025 Top Creators list, Rebecca earned $22 million over the past year with 41.3 million combined followers — a figure that reflects her dominance in the family-friendly digital content space.
Rebecca and Matt Yoakum married in May 2014 and welcomed their daughter, Zadie Hope Zamolo, on February 23, 2022, after a public journey through IVF, miscarriage, and hope that deeply resonated with millions of fans. Rebecca remains an active advocate for IBD awareness and animal welfare. Her story — from competitive gymnast to health crisis survivor to digital media empire builder — represents one of YouTube’s most enduring and beloved success narratives.
