Typical Gamer has dated –

1. Samara Redway (2015-Present) – He revealed his relationship with fellow social media star, gamer, and vlogger Samara Redway on YouTube in videos The Whisper Challenge With My Girlfriend!! uploaded to his channel on March 24, 2016, and TOUCH MY BODY CHALLENGE!! on March 26, 2016. In a later video on her channel, Samara revealed that they officially began dating on October 6, 2015, after around 2 to 3 months of talking and getting to know each other. Andre found out her through a mutual friend who showed him her profile, and he started following her on Instagram, and then “slid into her DMs.” They were also supposed to meet in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada when he came into town, but he ditched her and went out with a few of his male friends. She also stated that he was terrified of “sealing the deal” and it took him more than 30 minutes after she dropped him off at the airport after the 1st date. They also started traveling together to places such as Hawaii and China, and vlogging the experience by both cameras and drones. Both of them are also very adventurous, and have explored an abandoned military bunker in March 2017, and filmed the whole thing. Samara was also managed by the same organization as him and was also sponsored by brands such as EA, Ubisoft, and OnePlus. On top of that, Andre and Samara also started living together in a new house in May 2019 and used her 2nd YouTube channel to publish videos of challenges, Q&As, pranks, vlogs, and discussions about their life behind the scenes of being social media personalities. On October 6, 2018, for their 3rd anniversary, besides going out to dinner, they celebrated the evening in bed watching the movie Jurassic Park (2018). In addition, both of them decided to answer the commonly asked question, which is why hasn’t their fanbase seen them kissing in videos. The reality was very simple and logical – Samara isn’t comfortable with public displays of affection.
