Is Pokimane in a relationship? Streamer breaks silence after moving in with a new roommate

Twitch star Imane "Pokimane" has officially addressed her relationship status. On February 10, 2025, the content creator took to her official X account to respond to fan speculation that she is currently dating someone. For context, during a two-hour-48-minute livestream on the same day, the Moroccan-Canadian personality revealed that she had moved in with British streamer and YouTuber Josh "Ellum."

In the X post, Pokimane pleaded with netizens to "stop assuming" that she is dating someone. She went on to say that she is not currently in a relationship and is "happily single."

Pokimane added that she would keep the online community updated when she gets married:

"please stop assuming i’m dating someone just cause we interact, i’m happily single and it can be disrespectful to the guys because y’all don’t always know their relationship status! i’ll update y’all when i get married tho 🤭🫶🏻"

In response, X user @Keishash579 explained why they believed people would "assume" that she was dating Ellum:

"You and the male sleep under the same roof, just you two so ofc people are gonna assume you are dating. You can stop hiding it"

The OfflineTV (OTV) co-founder replied:

"do you live in the 1800s? women and men can be friends, roomies, coworkers, etc, without being romantically involved. i’m sorry you’ve clearly never experienced this lol"
