Did Emiru And Mizkif Date IRL? Twitch Star Emily Schunk’s Highly Talked-About Dating Past Resurfaces

Beloved Twitch star and cosplayer Emiru, known off-screen as Emily Schunk, has grabbed the spotlight today after breaking her silence on one of the internet’s most talked-about questions — Did she and Mizkif actually date in real life? The answer, revealed during an explosive livestream on October 25, 2025, prepared with ‘receipts’, has set the gaming and streaming world ablaze. 

With Emiru’s shocking revelations about her relationship with One True King co-founder Mizkif (real name Matthew Rinaudo) and the reality behind her sexual assault allegations at TwitchCon 2025, fans are once again digging through the 27-year-old’s much-talked-about dating past. So, allow us to ease your pain with a closer look at Emiru and Mizkif’s relationship, and everyone the Twitch star has been romantically linked to over the years.

Inside Emiru’s dating history – from Dyrus to Mizkif

Emiru has always maintained a considerably private profile when it comes to her personal life and relationships. Her secrecy has only fuelled her followers’ curiosity about what goes on behind the scenes in their beloved streamer’s life. While there’s not much information available about her non-streamer boyfriends (if she had any), Emiru has had some popular romantic linkups over the years.

Emiru’s first public romance was with YouTuber Marcus Hill, popularly known as ‘Dyrus’, a retired League of Legends pro. The pair reportedly started dating in 2016 after meeting at a cosplay event and were open about their relationship online. In several of his live streams, Dyrus could be seen kissing Emiru on the cheek, or Emiru would just hang out in the background as he streamed. However, after four years, they amicably parted ways in 2020, focusing on their respective careers and personal growth.

After Dyrus, Emiru’s name popped up once again alongside Mizkif, one of Twitch’s biggest personalities. Emiru and Mizkif’s dating rumours first surfaced in 2021, when the former moved into Mizkif’s content house, not long after his split from Maya Higa. Despite constant speculation, both denied being a couple over the years — until now.

Emiru confirms relationship and split with Mizkif

After making headlines for weeks since the TwitchCon 2025 incident, Emiru is back with some burning revelations that have had the internet buzzing. During her recent livestream, dated October 25, 2025, Emiru revealed for the first time that she and Mizkif had indeed been in a relationship that ended earlier this year. However, the split was anything but easy. She made explosive allegations against Mizkif, sharing proof of the mess their relationship had become over the past few months. Though she ended things with the OTK co-founder, the latter reportedly continued to harass her with unwanted contact and emotional manipulation. 

During her livestream, Emiru shared screenshots of months of messages allegedly sent by Mizkif after their breakup, including long apologies, repeated pleas to talk, and attempts to reconcile, all of which she allegedly ignored. Emiru presented all the ‘receipts’ which proved it was more than just a ‘check-in’ but a persistent harassment.

Emiru made some serious allegations against her ex, Mizkif, describing his pattern of behaviour as ‘controlling’, even accusing him of sexual assault, stalking, and psychological abuse during and after their relationship. She further recounted an incident where he allegedly made unwanted advances while she was in emotional distress and left abruptly when she reacted. 

She accused Mizkif of controlling behavior and jealousy, including third-party threats and blackmail. Emiru claimed he tried to recruit other streamers against her and even threatened one of her employees at TwitchCon, warning that he would destroy her. She shared:

“At TwitchCon, he approached one of my employees, threatening them and saying if I ever talked about him, he would destroy me.”

What about Asmongold? Did Emiru really date him?

Besides Dyrus and Mizkif, Emiru has also been speculated to have shared a romantic bond with another OTK co-owner, Zack ‘Asmongold’. Followers romantically linked the two, especially after their multiple collaborations on the Steak & Eggs Podcast. However, both have made it clear that their connection is purely professional.

Is Emiru currently dating anyone?

As of late 2025, Emiru is reportedly single and focused on her career, as she navigates months of harassment from her ex-boyfriend, Mizkif. After the breakup, she moved out of her shared space and has kept her personal life offline. Her social media highlights her gaming, cosplay, and creative projects, but not romance. Despite personal turmoil, Emiru continues to thrive as one of Twitch’s most-watched female streamers, admired for her authenticity and resilience. Following her revelations, fans have flooded social media with support.
