Beloved Twitch star and cosplayer Emiru, known off-screen as Emily Schunk, has turned heads today after breaking her silence on one of the most talked-about questions on the internet: did she and Mizkif really date in real life? The answer, revealed during an explosive livestream on October 25, 2025, prepared with “receipts,” has set the gaming and streaming world on fire.
With Emiru’s shocking revelations about her relationship with One True King co-founder Mizkif (real name Matthew Rinaudo) and the reality behind her sexual assault allegations at TwitchCon 2025, fans are once again digging into the 27-year-old’s much-discussed dating past. So let us ease your pain with a closer look at Emiru and Mizkif’s relationship, and everyone the Twitch star has been romantically linked to over the years.
Inside Emiru’s Dating History: From Dyrus to Mizkif
Emiru has always maintained a considerably private profile when it comes to her personal life and relationships. His secret has only fueled his followers’ curiosity about what goes on behind the scenes in the life of their beloved streamer. While there isn’t much information available about her non-streamer boyfriends (if she ever had any), Emiru has had some popular romantic links over the years.
Emiru’s first public romance was with YouTuber Marcus Hill, popularly known as ‘Dyrus’, a retiree. League of Legends pro. The couple reportedly began dating in 2016 after meeting at a cosplay event and were open about their relationship online. In several of his live streams, Dyrus could be seen kissing Emiru on the cheek, or Emiru simply hanging out in the background while streaming. However, after four years, they amicably parted ways in 2020, focusing on their respective careers and personal growth.
After Dyrus, Emiru’s name appeared once again alongside Mizkif, one of the biggest personalities on Twitch. Dating rumors between Emiru and Mizkif first surfaced in 2021, when the former moved into Mizkif’s content house, shortly after his split from Maya Higa. Despite constant speculation, both denied being a couple over the years, until now.
Emiru confirms relationship and breakup with Mizkif
After making headlines for weeks since the TwitchCon 2025 incident, Emiru is back with some hot revelations that have the internet buzzing. During her recent livestream, dated October 25, 2025, Emiru revealed for the first time that she and Mizkif had been in a relationship that ended earlier this year. However, the separation was not easy at all. She made explosive accusations against Mizkif, sharing evidence of the disaster their relationship had become in recent months. Although she ended her relationship with the OTK co-founder, the latter allegedly continued to harass her with unwanted contact and emotional manipulation.
During her livestream, Emiru shared screenshots of months of messages allegedly sent by Mizkif following their breakup, including lengthy apologies, repeated pleas to talk, and attempts at reconciliation, all of which she allegedly ignored. Emiru presented all the “receipts” proving that this was more than just a “check-in” but rather persistent harassment.
Emiru made some serious allegations against her ex, Mizkif, describing his pattern of behavior as “controlling”, even accusing him of sexual assault, harassment and psychological abuse during and after their relationship. Additionally, she recounted an incident in which he allegedly made unwanted advances while she was in emotional distress and left abruptly when she reacted.
He accused Mizkif of controlling behavior and jealousy, including threats from third parties and blackmail. Emiru claimed that she tried to recruit other streamers against her and even threatened one of her employees at TwitchCon, warning her that she would destroy her. She shared:
“At TwitchCon, he approached one of my employees, threatened him, and told him that if he ever talked about him, he would destroy me.”
What about Asmongold? Did Emiru really date him?
In addition to Dyrus and Mizkif, it has also been speculated that Emiru has shared a romantic link with another OTK co-owner, Zack ‘Asmongold’. Fans romantically linked the two, especially after their multiple collaborations on the Meat and Eggs Podcast. However, both have made it clear that their connection is purely professional.
Is Emiru currently dating anyone?
As of late 2025, Emiru is reportedly single and focused on her career, while experiencing months of harassment from her ex-boyfriend, Mizkif. After the breakup, she moved out of their shared space and kept her personal life offline. Her social media highlights her gaming, cosplay, and creative projects, but not her romance. Despite personal turmoil, Emiru continues to thrive as one of Twitch’s most-viewed female streamers, admired for her authenticity and resilience. Following her revelations, fans flooded social media with support.
