Akidearest and The Anime Man have been together for a while, officially announcing they were dating in 2016. The two were already established YouTubers at the time, and over the years, they became an iconic couple online.

However, when they first met, they were relatively obscure content creators, only having subscribers in the thousands. Then, the two collaborated on a video together, and the rest was history.

To commemorate their engagement, The Anime Man also uploaded a YouTube vlog about how his proposal took place, with him and Akidearest traveling to Madagascar. The 48-minute-long vlog shows the couple's journey to the African island country, as well as the behind-the-scenes efforts by the former to bring the proposal to fruition during the trip.
