Twitch streamer/YouTuber Nikki “Nihachu” has, for a while now, been rumored to be dating British internet personality William "Wilbur Soot" Gold. But not many would know that Nihachu has already set the record state in the past, denying the rumors.

The two personalities have never exactly been open about their dating lives. The rumors started when Wilbur Soot appeared on the “Rajjchelors” dating show back in February 2020, where he matched with none other than Nihachu.

Since then, the two creators have regularly featured in each others’ content, and fans have continuously shipped them as a couple. However, those fans would be disappointed to learn that Nihachu had confirmed some time back that she and Wilbur Soot were just friends.

@Nihaachu + @WilburSoot = Best Couple 🥰 canit look at them together without Giggling when I see how CUTE and PERFECT for each other,Wilbur made the best choice 🐶

Nihachu has shot to fame since appearing on the “Rajjchelors” show, which is an online dating show created by YouTuber “AustinShow” and is now called “Will Your Marry Me?”. Until February 2020 Nihachu had less than 1k followers on Twitch, but that number has shot up to more than 2.2 million now.

Wilbur Soot, on the other hand, has around 3.7 million followers and has been active on Twitch since around May 2018.

Both creators are mostly known for their Minecraft content. They have collaborated for a wide range of games, including Among Us and Valorant.

But the rumors about them dating stemmed from the fact that quite a few fans thought they looked "good together as a couple,” with some even claiming that they were soulmates. Since matching on the show, the two have regularly featured in each others’ Twitch streams, something that has added fuel to the rumors.

Furthermore, Wilbur Soot took a trip to Nihachu’s home-country Germany back in March 2020.

As the tweets suggest, fans have been trying to ship the two together despite there being no confirmation from either that they are dating. But in October, Nihachu said the following about her relationship with Wilbur Soot:

“Wilbur and I are just friends. We were never together. We never made anything official. People just keep assuming that we are together. Even if we were together, we would not tell you that because that is a very private matter. So please stop asking. We are fine. We are still talking. There’s nothing that happened between us.”

While the streamer confirmed that the two were not together, she also claimed that they would not publicly reveal their relationship even if they were.

While many fans might be disappointed to hear that last bit, streamers obviously have the right not to reveal private information about themselves.
