Sykkuno and Rae have been flirting a lot online, but it’s unclear if they’re dating.
Sykkuno and Rae are one of the most shipped video game couples in the world. There are tons of fan videos showing the couple flirting during their streams. However, there is no evidence of a relationship between the pair. They have not posted anything about dating on any of their social media.
Sykkuno has already made history in the online love department, as she was the first person to get all the loves in the online dating game Rajjchellor.
Rae and her ex Michael Sherman have split twice to focus on growing their careers.
After dating for a few years, Michael and Rae announced their breakup in December 2018. Valkyrae explained that the breakup happened because the couple wanted to focus on their careers. However, Rae and Michael remained close, and before long, they were dating again.
Unfortunately, her second attempt to make their relationship work failed. Rae explained in a vlog posted on March 28, 2020 that the couple’s relationship ended for the same reason:
“I’m going crazy with the content right now because it helps distract me from Michael not being around anymore. I hope you’re well. I still love him and care about him a lot… We had a public break up last year and it was for the exact same reason. We try again, and he has to do his thing. If you love someone, let them go and if it was meant to be in the future, it’s meant to be.”
Rae is reportedly the fastest growing live streamer on YouTube
The big buzz around the game ‘Among Us’ has helped many streamers gain popularity. Valkyrie has benefited greatly from streaming the game on YouTube and is, according to YouTube executive Ryan Wyatt, the fastest growing live stream in the world. Rae recently tweeted figures showing that between September 15 and October 14, his channel had over 11 million live views.
That’s quite an accomplishment for someone who didn’t plan on being an online streamer. Valkyrae was a GameStop employee who played for fun. She started her online career by sharing gaming content and information with her Instagram followers. Rae kept refusing fans’ suggestions to try streaming, but eventually relented. Rae revealed in a video posted on January 13, 2020 that the online broadcast changed her life:
“After the longest days, it’s what inspired me to keep going. And through my difficult times, this community has always been there for me. These past few years all aspects of my life have changed. Thanks to all of you, I’ve been able to give back to others, especially the ones I love…I’m so excited to move on.”
Rae’s main motivation for moving from Twitch to YouTube was to ensure financial stability.
Online streaming platforms like YouTube and Twitch are currently in a scramble to sign top gaming content creators. In January 2020, Valkyrae announced that she had left her legions of followers on Twitch to stream exclusively on YouTube. Rae explained in a video posted in late January that her promise of financial stability inspired her to sign the agreement:
“I just wanted the feeling of security. Like financial security. Continuing to stream and play games like I always have as a hobby and not have to worry about the numbers. I think that’s the most important thing as a streamer… It can be very stressful because the bills you owe are consistent and the payment isn’t. So to have that financial security, to continue doing what I already do just on a different platform seems like a dream come true.”
Valkyrae is still part of the 100 Thieves player collective, though she left the broadcast house in February 2020. She explained in her vlog showing off her new apartment that she didn’t fall out with the group. However, she needed time alone to focus on games and exercise. He also needed to separate home from her and work life from her.
Rae wants to make a positive impact with her games, especially in the area of women’s empowerment. She said Business Insider who strives to collaborate with female content creators:
“I like to play with other girls because I can show other people that girls can dominate too… And usually the streamers I play with are really good, and I can see other girls commenting on the videos and everything gets It’s about girl power, and it’s heartwarming to watch.”
