The Unexpected and Controversial Rise of MrBeast to YouTube Superstardom

MrBeast has always kept his online and offline lives very separate, but once he shared a new detail about his personal life. In June 2019, MrBeast announced on Instagram that he was dating fellow YouTuber Maddy Spidell and reportedly started their relationship that month after their virtual meet cute on Twitter.

If you thought a relationship between two YouTubers would naturally lead to a flood of joint projects, think again. Both parties involved decided to keep their relationship under wraps and barely made any references to one another. Some of MrBeast’s videos did feature brief appearances by Spidell, such as “Surprising My Girlfriend With 100,000 Roses for Valentine’s Day.”
