Kick streamer Jack Doherty has proposed to his girlfriend and YouTuber McKinley Richardson. The streamer announced his engagement on social media by sharing a clip of the moment he got down on his knees on a beach in Dubai. The couple have been collaborating on YouTube, Instagram, and other social media websites for a long time.

The news of the engagement comes about three months since Jack Doherty was accused of "abuse" by netizens after he asked Richardson to take pictures for making YouTube content while she was crying. Regardless, in the short video shared by Jack on June 16, 2024, the Kick streamer can be heard proposing to McKinley Richardson:

"Alright McKinley, the reason I brought you to Dubai is because I have a really important question to ask you. You are the love of my life, will you marry me?"

Richardson can be heard replying with a prompt yes:

"Are you kidding me? Yes, oh my god, are you serious?"

The clip has garnered quite a lot of reactions on X, with over half a million impressions in a couple of hours since it was posted.

As mentioned, McKinley and Jack have been collaborating on videos for a long time. While Doherty has risen substantially in popularity due to his Kick streams, Richardson is not that far behind. On top of boasting over a million followers on social media sites like TikTok and Instagram, she also has a YouTube channel with 6 million subscribers with a combined viewership of 2 billion.

Her videos are mostly vlog-style IRL content with the most popular one being a collaboration with the Island Boys that was posted around three months ago and has over 2.4 million views.

While McKinley Richardson and Jack Doherty are mostly quite amicable with each other on camera, the relationship did raise some eyebrows after a former employee of the Kick streamer, named Matthew, alleged that she had cheated on Doherty. In a podcast episode dated March 15, 2024, Matthew claimed that McKinley had cheated on Jack with him.

Readers should note that Jack has denied these allegations and accused Matthew of coming onto his then-girlfriend. The Kick streamer also mentioned that his ex-employee has a vendetta against him. Whatever the case may be, it seems the couple has gotten past the controversy as they got engaged on June 16, 2024, on a beach in Dubai.
