Early life and education

His parents, Sheri and Ken LaBrant, emphasized the importance of faith and family values, which played a significant role in Cole’s upbringing. He has five siblings, and together they often participated in various family activities and church events.
From a young age, Cole showed an interest in performing and entertaining others. His natural charisma and sense of humor made him popular among his peers. Despite his online fame, Cole managed to balance his studies and graduated from high school with good grades. He later attended a local college, where he continued to develop his skills in social media and content creation.
Career
Cole LaBrant’s career began on Vine, a short-form video platform that allowed users to share six-second looping videos. In 2013, Cole and his friends, Baylor Barnes and John Stephen Grice, formed a group called “Dem White Boyz.” Their comedic and dance videos quickly went viral, amassing millions of followers. The group’s success on Vine catapulted Cole into the spotlight and opened doors for further opportunities.
After Vine was discontinued in 2017, Cole transitioned to YouTube, where he continued to build his online presence. He met Savannah Soutas, a popular social media influencer, in 2016. The couple began dating and soon started their joint YouTube channel, initially named “Cole&Sav.” Their content, which included pranks, challenges, and vlogs, resonated with audiences and gained a substantial following.
In July 2017, Cole and Savannah got married, and their wedding video became a viral sensation. This marked a turning point in their careers as they rebranded their channel to “The LaBrant Fam” and focused on family-oriented content. Over the years, the channel has grown to include their children, Everleigh, Posie, Zealand, and Sunday, showcasing their everyday adventures and milestones.
Personal life
Cole LaBrant’s personal life is closely intertwined with his public persona. His relationship with Savannah LaBrant has been a central theme in their content, capturing the hearts of millions of viewers. Savannah, who was born on March 2, 1993, brought her daughter Everleigh Rose Soutas Smith into the marriage. Everleigh, born on December 14, 2012, has become a beloved figure on their channel.
Cole and Savannah have since welcomed three more children: Posie Rayne LaBrant, born on December 28, 2018; Zealand Cole LaBrant, born on July 29, 2020; and Sunday Savannah LaBrant, born on June 7, 2022.
