3 min read
YouTube sensation IShowSpeed, real name Darren Watkins Jr, has finally addressed rumors about his romantic life after photos of him with a mystery woman started circulating online. In a recent livestream on October 7, 2024, the popular streamer confirmed that he is, indeed, dating someone, but he’s not ready to introduce her to his fanbase just yet.
IShowSpeed, known for his energetic streams and viral moments, has always been a topic of discussion when it comes to his personal life. Earlier this year, he was involved in a publicized relationship with South Korean internet personality Amy. Their relationship stirred controversy when Speed claimed it was all for content, despite Amy stating they went on real dates. Now, months later, a new chapter in his love life has sparked interest, especially after photos and videos of him with an unknown woman surfaced on social media.

Fans became increasingly curious after a video allegedly showed Speed attending this woman’s birthday party in October 2024. The rumors spread like wildfire, and viewers eagerly waited for the YouTuber to clarify his relationship status. Speed finally broke his silence during a recent broadcast when he came across images of himself and the woman on his Discord.
Addressing the rumors, IShowSpeed initially hesitated but eventually confirmed the news to his viewers:
“Do I have a girlfriend? Yes,” he admitted while looking at the photo in question. “Yes, I do. Yes, I am talking to somebody, chat. Yes, I am. And no, y’all not about to meet her yet.”
The streamer made it clear that while he is seeing someone, he is not rushing to introduce her to his massive fanbase. He explained that in the past, every time he made a relationship public, things tended to spiral out of control. “I know there’s some people who do wanna meet her, but not yet. I’mma wait until we’re really, really locked in. Because I feel like every time, when y’all meet her, that’s when sh*t goes crazy.”

While the identity of his new girlfriend remains a mystery, some fans speculate that she could be someone he met during the filming of the Sidemen’s “20 Women vs 1” video, where he shared a memorable moment with a woman named Yakshinee. However, Speed has yet to confirm if this is true.
During the stream, Speed also expressed frustration with certain comments from his chat. Some viewers joked about the woman’s age, which Speed shut down immediately, saying, “Stop f**king playing with me you all. She is not 12.”

As of now, Speed is committed to keeping his relationship private until he feels more secure in it. He reiterated that while fans are curious to meet his girlfriend, they will have to wait until the relationship is more stable before he shares any further details. “I am going to wait till it’s really, really locked in, bro,” he said. “So chat, I am going to give it a little bit of time before it’s locked.”
While the YouTuber’s fans are eager for more information, it seems they’ll have to be patient, as Speed has chosen to keep this part of his life under wraps for now.
