LaBrant Family Remove Home Listing After Cole Addresses Child Labor Law Speculation

The viral family's Tennessee property was initially listed for sale days after the state passed a bill regulating compensation for kids in online content

NEED TO KNOW

• PEOPLE can confirm that the LaBrant family home was removed from the market on April 15, two days after it was initially listed for sale
• After the listing went live on April 13, social media users and media outlets speculated about the timing, as the Tennessee State Legislature recently passed a child labor law regulating how influencers feature children in content
• Cole LaBrant posted a TikTok responding to speculation about his family’s potential move, denying it was due to child labor laws and claiming that they didn’t intend to move out of state at all

After two days on the market, the LaBrant family's home is no longer up for sale.

PEOPLE can confirm that the 6-bed, 6.5-bath property in Nashville was removed from the market on Wednesday, April 15. The family first listed their house on Monday, April 13, three days after the Tennessee State Legislature passed a child labor law regulating how influencers feature children in their content, as several social media users and media outlets pointed out in comments and coverage.

Their house regularly serves as the backdrop for the LaBrant family's online content, which is posted by Cole, 29, and Savannah LaBrant, 33. Many of their videos feature their five kids: sons Beckham Blue, 1, and Zealand Cole, 5, and daughters Sunday Savannah, 3, Posie Rayne, 7, and Everleigh Rose, 13, whom Savannah shares with her late ex.

On the same day that their home listing was taken down, Cole took to TikTok to respond to speculation about the timing.

"This is a video that I feel dumb making," he began in the post shared on April 15. "Not a video that I would ever usually make, but a video that I feel like I have to make. Because whenever lies are being said about you and your family, I feel like one of the best things that you can do is tell the truth, state the facts and set the story straight."

He continued to refer to the questions raised about whether or not he and Savannah were relocating out of Tennessee "to avoid paying" their five children, as the recently introduced state law requires content creators to compensate kids with a portion of the profits made online.

"I personally feel like our kids and their bank accounts are none of your guys business, but if you must know, all of our kids all have bank accounts. We have been paying them since day one of making videos, and I can promise you that our kids and their bank accounts are doing just fine," Cole said.

In his video, Cole also said that they didn't actually list the house with the intention of moving out of state. "We love Tennessee. We love our city, we love our friends, we love our community. We are moving, actually, right down the street, just to get more land, to be on more acres," he explained in the April 15 post.

Neither Cole nor Savannah have stated their reasons for taking their property off the market. The LaBrant family did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

The newly passed bill specifically requires creators to set aside a portion of earnings from videos featuring minors who are 14 or older but under 18 years old in a trust account preserved for the benefit of the child shown in them. It also requires account administrators to delete content that features minors over 14 and under 18 upon their request.

Additionally, children between the ages of 14 and 18 are entitled to all of the proceeds made from their contributions to their own content creation work. However, the law also limits how children under the age of 14 profit from their own content.

Savannah boasts over 37 million followers across platforms, and Cole has over 27 million of his own. Their YouTube page @ColeandSav, which has videos dating back to 2015, has 12.7 million subscribers.

The family previously lived in California until 2023, when they announced their move to Tennessee. In a YouTube video posted on May 21, 2023, the couple explained that they moved to be "closer to more family" and for a "slower pace of life."
