Who is Valkyrae?

Valkyrae, is a Filipino-American YouTuber, former Twitch streamer, Instagram personality, and professional Fortnite and Among Us player.

Rae lost her father due to cancer in April 2017. She has talked about her father not understanding what she did for a living, thinking she was working at PayPal.

Prior to streaming, Rae worked at a variety of jobs, such as being a Gamestop employee and a bank clerk.

Rae’s gamer tag used to be Legend of Rae, referencing the game Legend of Zelda. She began to think the username was awful, so she tried to find a new one. She found out about the word Valkyrie, and she attached Rae at the end, leading to the name Valkyrae.

She is a content creator and co-owner of 100 Thieves.

In 2014, while working, she began sharing her gaming hobby on Instagram, gaining a significant following. She was encouraged by various Instagram followers, friends, and Twitch streamers to start streaming on Twitch, beginning in 2015. After gathering a following, Hofstetter began posting gaming videos on YouTube.

Valkyrae is known for energetic and enthusiastic streaming while also maintaining charitable events.

Does Valkyrae have a boyfriend and who is she dating now?

Even though Rae admires women on a whole different level, she is straight.

Valkyrae is assumed to be currently single following her split from her fellow streamer and amid been linked with other internet personalities.

Rae dated fellow streamer Sonii (actual name– Michael Sherman) for four years. They started dating in January 2016 and broke up in January 2020 to focus on their careers. The two lived together before their breakup, and Rae moved to the Screamer House. With all roommates in the Screamer House parting their ways, it had been speculated that Rae and Sonii moved back in together again, as their dogs (Rae – Mika, Sonii – Naru) had been spotted when they were streaming around the same timeframe on the same day.

Nevertheless, based on some deleted tweets from Sonii, the couple seems to have broken up yet again (if they ever got back together in the first place). This also aligns with the theory that they had moved in together since Rae was spending a few days in the OTV house and when she went back, Miyoung moved in with her for a few months. The pair has once again been on different pursuits, and Rae even formed another “Screamer House” with her, Miyoung, Fuslie, Yvonnie, and Sykkuno.

Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter was rumored to be in a relationship with fellow OTV streamer Sykkuno. On a recent stream, she said that she sees Sykkuno as a brother and that he tends to act that way. She said that the two have become extremely close and are both very protective of each other.

She created her YouTube channel back in 2014 but didn’t start uploading videos until 2018. She has also collaborated with other Fortnite streamers such as Cizzorz, Daequan Loco, Myth, and Pokimane.
