Imane "Pokimane" Anys continues to dominate Twitch with her incredible content. Although she has previously stated she is single, a recurrent guest on her streams has led many to question whether or not Pokimane could actually have a secret boyfriend.
As one of the most famous female streamers on the Amazon-owned platform, Pokimane has earned her place as one of the most renowned content creators on Twitch with her wholesome personality and love for popular chef Gordon Ramsay. However, Pokimane tends to keep her life behind the screen very private, refusing to talk about her dating life during her streams.
Despite her fans regularly calling on Pokimane to confirm her relationship status, she has somehow managed to avoid giving an official answer. However, fans are starting to speculate whether she and her friend Kevin are dating. So, without further ado, here's everything we know so far.
Is Pokimane Single?
Although Pokimane has continuously managed to keep her dating life fairly private, back in March 2021, the 25-year-old confirmed that she was in fact single. Making the announcement via Twitter, Pokimane simply said: "Single btw." She further explained that she wasn't "looking," but she was "just tired of seeing the same question/assumption over [and] over."
The tweet was met with a wave of adoration from some of Pokimane's famous friends, including Rachel "Valkyrae" Hofstetter and Leslie "Fuslie" Fu, all proclaiming their mutual love for Pokimane.
After the tweet went viral, Pokimane posted a YouTube video, in which she explained she tweeted the comment in order to "reclaim her power." Pokimane explained: "There was this whole thing like two years ago where people were saying Poki boyfriend this, Poki boyfriend that. I was like, you know what? I'm going to reclaim my power. Single btw, and I’m making it clear."

Who Is "Kevin"?
Pokimane is no stranger to having her friends feature alongside her during her livestreams. However, towards the end of 2021, fans started to notice that a previously unknown face was beginning to regularly appear on Pokimane's streams: "Kevin".
Very little was known about this mysterious character, but it wasn't long before Pokimane's fans fell instantly in love with him and their 'friendship.' For example, fans went wild over the pair's matching lacey aprons during their cooking video and his adorable relationship with her pet cat, Mimi.
In her stream on January 25, Pokimane left Kevin to "entertain" her viewers and he revealed a little bit more about his life. For instance, when asked about his work, Kevin stated he is working in a number of "computer software engineer positions." He also stated that at the time he was living in Seattle, but was hoping to move to Los Angeles, where Pokimane also lives.
Are Pokimane And Kevin Dating?
Although a number of Pokimane's fans have speculated as to whether she and Kevin are dating, neither of them have officially confirmed they are in a relationship. In fact, when asked about the topic, the duo claim that Kevin is "dating" her fans. However, that hasn't done anything to quell the rumours that Kevin is Pokimane's secret boyfriend, especially when he has appeared to support her during her VALORANT sessions.
So, given Pokimane's stance on discussing her personal life on stream, it doesn't look like we'll get a clear answer on whether she and Kevin are dating for a while. However, given the overwhelming love for Kevin, it certainly would be a dream come true for Pokimane's fans.
