Girlfriend / Spouse

Note: IShowSpeed featured his girlfriend on social media in 2021. Also, he is a father to a girl.

His only widely documented romance was with Ermony Renee, a fellow content creator he began dating in 2021 during his first major growth spurt on YouTube. The pair appeared together in vlogs and stream segments through late 2021 and into 2022 before separating, and the breakup itself became stream material when Watkins discussed it openly with his audience.

Since then, he has stayed almost entirely off the dating radar, though his on-air flirtations have generated headlines more than once. His long-running, very public crush on singer Ariana Grande became a recurring bit across 2021 and 2022, and a series of awkward interactions with women during international IRL streams (including a widely circulated 2023 clip from a stream in Norway) led to criticism and an on-stream apology. He has said he intends to marry and have children eventually, and has named Cristiano Ronaldo as the person he would want at his wedding.
