The Beeston Fam

Before becoming a YouTuber, Derik Beeston lived in Utah and had a regular job. He met his wife Sarah while hiking, and together they decided to start a family YouTube channel. Derik and Sarah launched "The Beeston Fam" in November 2019, posting personal vlogs and life updates at first. One of their early popular videos was a prank in June 2021 where they used a bald filter to trick their family. As the channel grew, the Beestons started documenting more of their family life, including the birth of their son Jack in October 2020 and their move from Utah to Hawaii in 2022. These videos about major life events resonated with viewers and helped grow The Beeston Fam to over 3 million subscribers.

Derik and Sarah Beeston have two children together. The channel now features a variety of family videos like challenges, Q&As, and behind-the-scenes of their daily lives. Recent uploads include "We had to separate" about the family temporarily splitting up, and "Watching the kids by myself for the first time" showing one parent caring for the children alone. Derik and Sarah's real and relatable family content has been key to the channel's success. They've also grown popular on TikTok, where Derik has over 300,000 followers.

Derik Beeston's parents are Michelle and Joe Beeston. In 2021, Derik featured his parents in a YouTube video on The Beeston Fam channel. Derik has one older brother named Tanner Beeston, who is also a social media influencer and YouTuber. Derik and Tanner are often mistaken for twins due to their appearance, however they have a 2-year age gap.

Derik's wife is Sarah Beeston, who is also a YouTuber and TikTok star. The couple met while hiking with mutual friends in Utah. After a year of dating, Derik and Sarah got married in a private ceremony on June 17, 2016. They have two children together. Their son Jack was born on October 16, 2020. In November 2020, the couple shared a video chronicling Jack's birth on their YouTube channel. Derik and Sarah's daughter Sunny Marie was born on December 7, 2022.

When Derik was 14 years old, he survived an experience of falling off a 30-foot cliff in St. George, Utah. He underwent multiple face surgeries to recover from the incident. In 2022, Derik and Sarah quit their jobs and moved the family from Utah to Oahu, Hawaii to become full-time content creators.
