TikToker Taylor Rousseau Grigg, Cameron Griggs Relationship Timeline

TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Grigg and husband Cameron Grigg were together for three years before she tragically and suddenly passed away at the age of 25.

The couple began dating in 2021 after initially connecting through social media.

“A lot of people think we met on TikTok because he made a video asking me out. “That's true, but we didn't really get to know each other because of that,” Taylor admitted during an October 2023 episode of the Beauty Babes Unfiltered podcast. “This is so embarrassing. I was scrolling through my Explore feed on Instagram and saw this guy with a badge. He had abs and was just good-looking.”

Taylor showed Cameron's profile to her father and mentioned that she thought the “cowboy guy” was cute. She decided to take the step and send a DM – for the first time in her life.

“I posted a poll on my Snapchat story with a picture of him asking, 'Should I DM or not?' And everyone overwhelmingly voted yes,” she remembers. “I thought, 'Okay, I'll do it.' So I DMed him and said, 'Hi, I don't usually do this very often, but I think you're cute.'”

Taylor also added Cameron on her Snapchat, but he didn't respond and she “blocked him.” Cameron eventually made a TikTok video asking to ask Taylor out. Luckily for him, she agreed and in 2021, they officially started dating.

Cameron proposed in June 2022, a year before their wedding.

Shortly after celebrating their first anniversary, Taylor died unexpectedly in October 2024. “Over the past year, Taylor has endured more pain and suffering than most people do in a lifetime,” Cameron wrote via Instagram. “And yet she was still such a light and always brought joy to everyone around her.”

“Since I first saw you, nothing in my life has been the same. And so much has changed and changed for the better,” he wrote in May. “I'm so grateful to have you. You are my best friend. Thank you for always being there, pushing me and motivating me. If you help me achieve my dreams, I don't deserve you, that's for sure. I can't imagine life without your idiot. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.”
