MrBeast and Maddy Spidell's breakup explained: Why did Internet's most loved duo part ways?
MrBeast, the most followed YouTuber, is always in the spotlight with all his moves being closely scrutinized. So, it came as a surprise when he chose to reveal and publicize his relationship with the then-budding lifestyle influencer Maddy Spidell. She has a significant following of over 260K on Instagram and TikTok, and over 32K subscribers on her YouTube channel, even though she is relatively inactive there.
In 2019 when Jimmy Donaldson aka MrBeast was just 20 years old, Spidell fell head over heels for him. They met via Twitter after she eventually succeeded in getting his attention online. They went on a date in June 2019, and then MrBeast followed her on social media.
Why did MrBeast and Maddy Spidell break up?
MrBeast confirmed that he was dating Spidell on his Twitter account in August 2019. MrBeast also welcomed her to his channel with a special video where he presented her with 100K flowers as a surprise. Spidell's fan base significantly increased as a result of her affiliation with MrBeast and she began creating videos for her own YouTube channel.
However, MrBeast and Maddy then abruptly parted ways and ended their relationship. After being accused by multiple individuals of being with MrBeast for his money, Maddy decided to speak up. She quickly responded to those who criticized her with a tweet that read, “If it wasn’t clear – I don’t want Mr beast for his money, just want a bf with good taste in anime who can make me laugh leave me alone and let me have an unattainable internet crush LMFAO.” This tweet was later deleted, as reported by Sports Keeda.
Although it remains unclear as to how the duo broke up, it won’t be wrong to say that they are still on good terms since the ex-couple continues to follow each other on social media.
Where is MrBeast's longtime ex-girlfriend now?
Wisconsin-born Spidell, a private person who didn’t reveal much about her relationship with MrBeast, moved to Los Angeles, California, in December 2021. She uploaded a story on her Instagram account in May 2022 saying that she relocated to take up a job and has been working hard.
The well-known influencer has a personal brand to manage along with her regular corporate job. She also acknowledged the assistance of her community during this trying period and thanked them for sticking around and cheering her up.
“Not going to lie – 6 months ago i moved to LA and was a mess. I have spent the past few months working my b**t off (both at my corporate job as well as on my personal brand) as well as putting myself first and developing new healthy habits. I feel like a completely different person but never in a million years thought i would be presented with the opportunities i have and been where i am now,” she said.
“Thank you for sticking around, following along and cheering me on! i love you all and I'm so lucky to have a lil community!” she wrote and added a picture of herself holding a bouquet of flowers.
