Their Story
How they met.
In May 1999, Christopher LeePrince Antie and William Antie cast a wish upon a star for a companion who could be 'the one.' The next morning, at 6:30 am on May 29, 1999, their lives took a transformative turn. They engaged in conversation while traveling in the entertainment van to their performance at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. As their bond grew, they became inseparable. Christopher and William navigated challenges of identity and acceptance together. Embracing uncertainty, they let life's journey unfold. Fate guided them through adversities, battling against antagonists in their lives, including unsupportive family members and those who could not accept them as they were: two gay men.
Through times of despair, they found ways to cope and ultimately prevail over the adversities of life. Their shared experiences from youth to adulthood taught them invaluable lessons, helping them rise above poverty and homelessness to earn a distinguished reputation. Christopher and William have spent over twenty-five years together, actualizing their dream. They have earned the moniker "The Real Prince Charmings" for their unwavering belief in their dreams and crafting a fairy tale existence. Their narrative is a tribute to the power of belief. Chris and Will celebrated their union in marriage in November of 2020.
Their Development
Their once upon a time.
Chris and Will's lives resemble a real-life fairy tale that began with a mouse. Working side by side, they have become storytellers of memories and moments from the magic of the Walt Disney Company, dedicating over 17 years to various roles across theme parks, studios, and the company at large; they've opened new parks, lands, attractions, and contributed to the film and television sectors. Their narrative expanded beyond Disney, incorporating magic from a boy wizard. They extended their hospitality background with NBCUniversal, opening new lands and attractions and working in departments such as events, operations, food & beverage, and on numerous film and television projects.
Over their twenty-five years together, they reminisce about the accomplishments that have shaped them into genuine storytellers, a rarity in journalism. Chris, a certified Le Cordon Bleu chef, Broadway-style performer, singer, and actor in "Clean House," "CSI: NY," "Dirty Sexy Money," among others, and Will, an accredited musician, Broadway-style performer, and actor in "Hannah Montana," "Ghost Whisperer," and "Miss Guided." While some projects were in their nascent stages, they expanded their talents to talent management and production crew roles, and now they are worldwide accredited actors, writers, directors, producers, editors, producers of an off-Broadway production, radio personalities, and travel personalities. Their story earned them the title of the Prince Charmings of Podcasting by Podcast Magazine in 2020.
Their Journey
Their Claim to Fame.
In 2019, Chris and Will visited a friend at a local radio station in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. During this visit, the station director suggested they share their remarkable life story through a new medium the network was exploring: a podcast. Unfamiliar with podcasts, they accepted the challenge, and history was made. In under thirty days, they developed a format that transitioned them from a modest to a growing fan base. Their podcast, "What About Our Life?", was thus created. They interviewed celebrities, allowing their guests to engage in intimate conversations with an audience that felt as if they were right there with them. With a fan base of 850,000 worldwide, they achieved success.
In 2022, they broadened their scope by venturing into media events, pride celebrations, and tourist destinations, among other areas. It was in 2024 that they marked their 25th anniversary, an occasion that saw them expand into sporting events, red carpet affairs, the creation of a documentary film, concert reporting, new entertainment releases, and earning recognition in the 'Mirror, Mirror Reflections of America' exhibit at Disney Parks within the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. They have set numerous milestones, notably as the first gay couple to represent the LGBTQ+ community in a positive and welcoming manner, broadcasting from places not entirely accepting of their identity. They are LGBTQ+ pioneers in representing tourism in Tennessee and Louisiana and becoming the first gay couple to broadcast a global sporting event. Currently known as the Prince Charmings of Podcasting, they are acclaimed Podcast Journalists covering a wide array of topics. Their portfolio includes coverage of The Oscars©, The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics and Paralympics, SeaWorld Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, IAAPA, Dollywood, New Orleans Tourism, Graceland, the Civil Rights Museum, Knoxville Tourism, Sevierville Tourism, Gatlinburg Tourism, Memphis Tourism, Hershey Park, Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World, the Audubon Institute, Kennedy Space Center, Myrtles Plantation, Holiday Matsuri, Atlanta Comic Con, Louisiana Comic Con, House of Mouse Expo, One Magical Weekend, Come Out With Pride, LA Pride, RuPaul's DragCon LA, Baton Rouge Pride, Johnny Chisholm Presents Pensacola Memorial Day Weekend, and more. Their media reach has extended to Olympic coverage, Give Kids the World, and tourist spots worldwide. They offer visual, print, and audio media coverage and have even undertaken commercial advertising for Climate First Bank, MEI Travel, Give Kids the World, and others.
They are continuing to expand their coverage, not only through their podcast but also via their other media outlets. They're releasing their first-ever documentary about the behind-the-scenes life of podcasters and plan to publish a more personal novel about their lives later in 2024. Their adventures are not just limited to past achievements; they aim to branch out into music, self-care products, authentic branding items, and increase their public presence through personal appearances, keynote speeches, hosting events, acting, and voice-over work. As the Prince Charmings' influence grows, they remain committed to sharing stories that resonate with the general public, embodying family values of unconditional love and acceptance for everyone.
