Updated Aug. 17 2020, 4:10 p.m. ET
David Dobrik got his start on Vine, made his way to YouTube in 2014, and made a name for himself in mainstream entertainment in 2019. The 23-year-old star is co-hosting the 2019 Teen Choice Awards on August 11, and naturally, fans want to know the latest on his love life.
Is David Dobrik single? Is he in a relationship with his assistant, Natalie Mariduena? Here's what you need to know.
So is David Dobrik single? It's a little complicated...
David Dobrik gives fans glimpses into his love life, but we're not sure if we see the entire picture. Based on Instagram, though, the summer of 2019 has been quite a tumultuous time for the lead member of the "Vlog Squad."
On May 17, 2019, he married his best friend Jason Nash's mother, Lorraine Nash, in Las Vegas. But less than one month after the wedding, David announced on Instagram that he and Lorraine had "decided to end our romantic relationship."
Before his marriage, David was in a high-profile relationship with Liza Koshy.
David and fellow YouTuber Liza Koshy dated from 2015 to 2018. In June 2018, they announced their split in a joint YouTube video.
"Liza broke up with me six months ago," David explained. "It wasn't healthy for us to continue to be together — for now."
"Basically what we're trying to say is that we're friends," said Liza.
"And that you never know what can happen," said David. "But just not now."
A lot of fans think David's dating Natalie Mariduena, his assistant...
Natalie Mariduena is David's longtime friend and assistant. She appears quite often on his YouTube channel. In December 2018, David surprised Natalie with a new car for the holidays!
Fans regularly ship David and Natalie in the comments, but both parties have continually said they're just friends and nothing more.
David does have a crush on Ariana Grande.
In a 2018 interview with Wired, David said his celebrity crush is Ariana Grande. "But I liked her when she was on Victorious," he clarified. "Now everyone likes her. It's just not fair!"
As of August 2019, Ariana isn't publicly dating anyone. Perhaps once David's divorce is finalized, he could give her a call... Just sayin.'
But he's a little cynical when it comes to YouTubers in love.
To be fair, there weren't too many of us that bought into Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul‘s marriage. David, however, was just a little more forthright with his feelings.
At Variety's Power of Young Hollywood event on August 6, David told Life & Style, "I was just mentioning earlier that I don't think it’s going to last, but I want them to prove me wrong."
"They are a good fit for each other," he added. "They both, um, they both love making videos. So it's perfect."
Time will tell what's in the stars for all these YouTube legends! Make sure to watch David co-hosting the 2019 Teen Choice Awards on August 11 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
