Who is Anthony Padilla dating?
Anthony was previously in a long-term relationship with fellow YouTuber Kalel Cullen. The couple started dating in 2010 and eventually got engaged in 2013. However, their relationship ended in December 2014. After his breakup with Kalel, Anthony Padilla took some time to focus on himself and his career. While he kept his personal life relatively private, there were occasional rumors and speculation about his dating life.
Anthony sent shockwaves in December 2019 when he dropped a bombshell introducing his stunning girlfriend, Lauren “Mykie” Mychal. Their relationship had been going on for five months at that point already! For now, we know that Anthony is no longer flying solo in the dating world. We love a good content creator rendezvous.

How did Smosh start, and what happened to it?
It all started back in 2002 when Anthony created smosh.com, which housed a bunch of wicked Flash animations and later went on to be one of YouTube’s most iconic online creations. Their early videos were off the chain! Picture Anthony and Ian rocking out and lip-syncing like absolute bosses to the theme songs of Mortal Kombat, Power Rangers, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The duo decided in 2023 that they wanted to be real investors in the venture, though, and joined forces to snatch back the YouTube comedy empire they had birthed a mind-blowing 18 years ago. According to Variety, the comedic partners-in-crime and business just acquired a big ol’ chunk of Smosh from Mythical Entertainment, the production company of YouTube talk show legends Rhett & Link, which acquired Smosh in 2019.
It’s a reunion like no other!
