Early life and education

Seán William McLoughlin was born on 7 February 1990 in Cloghan, County Offaly, Ireland, the youngest of five children to John (c. 1936 – 27 January 2021) and Florrie McLoughlin. He was raised in Cloghan and also lived for a time in Banagher. His father worked for the ESB and his mother worked a number of jobs before becoming a carer for his grandmother.^[ McLoughlin began playing video games at the age of seven, and as a child he spent time playing on the Nintendo Game Boy in a neighbourhood treehouse, later describing how he found a sense of belonging in the games. He was given his “Jack Septic Eye” nickname after a childhood accident during a football match in which he injured his eye.

When he was 18, McLoughlin and his family moved to a cabin in Ballycumber. McLoughlin studied music technology and production at Limerick Institute of Technology. In the third year of the degree, McLoughlin decided to drop out and return home to Ballycumber. He then moved to an apartment in Athlone, County Westmeath in 2014, where he studied hotel management at Athlone Institute of Technology, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree. He lived in Athlone until 2017, when he moved to Brighton, England. Among the reasons for the move were the city’s strong LGBTQ and vegan communities, and concerns about personal privacy after fans found his home in Athlone.

Personal life

McLoughlin dated Danish social media influencer Signe “Wiishu” Hansen between 2015 and 2018. He is currently in a relationship with Dutch YouTuber Evelien “Gab” Smolders.
