Valkyrae is not bi-sexual. Speaking in the Press ESC podcast, she confirmed that she is “straight” (heterosexual).
One of YouTube’s biggest female creators—Rachell Hofstetter, more commonly known as “Valkyrae,” has been in the headlines recently. The streamer opened up about her private life—more precisely her sexual life during a recent Press ESC podcast episode (uploaded on November 3, 2024).
Speaking about her first-ever sexual encounter, she said that it was with a woman. A clip of this segment naturally went viral across social media platforms, with many people interpreting it as her coming out as a “bi-sexual” woman. One particular post made by @ItsKingSlime garnered a lot of traction:

However, she made it clear that she is not “gay” and identifies as a “straight” woman. Here’s what she had to say during the podcast episode:
“I am straight. I am very straight, but, the first person I’ve ever had a sexual encounter with was a girl.”
Coming to the incident, she revealed that the other partner was the daughter of a family friend. She recounted:
“It was a family friend’s daughter. They babysat us a lot, so I think one day, it was like, ‘Hey! Rachell come here I want to show you something.’ And she like, went to town…She went down, bro!”
Speaking about her experience, she said she actually “enjoyed” it, but also revealed not wanting to pursue other women since that incident. She made it clear that she was “not gay”:
“I definitely enjoyed it. But, I’m not gay. It’s weird, it was explorative and I just never had any interest to hook up with girls moving forward. It was just my first experience, and it’s weird. I feel like with a first encounter like that I should be into women, why am I not?”
Is Valkyrae Currently In A Relationship?
Valkyrae is one of the most prominent creators on YouTube, boasting over 4 million subscribers. With such a large audience, many fans are eager to stay updated on the personal side of her life. For those interested, the streamer is currently single.
Her last officially known relationship was with fellow streamer Michael “Sonii.” The two dated from 2016 to 2021 and recently found themselves involved in a bit of drama.
The controversy began when Lisa, Valkyrae’s co-host on Press ESC, gifted her a voodoo doll. Valkyrae jokingly remarked:
“Alyssa! This is the most deranged s**t! Oh, my god! Why does it actually look like him, bro? This is so troll. I, actually, am so scared. Like, what if it actually harms him? Should we test it? No!”
Sonii naturally noticed the comment and took offense at the joke. He responded with an elaborate post on X, which has since been deleted, where he called out Valkyrae. In his post, he stated that he had moved on from their relationship and accused her of stirring up more hate. He wrote:
“I absolutely understand if all of this behavior is an attempt for you to heal from our toxic past. But this has been going on for a while.. and to use this platform to spread more hate because of the private struggles we shared within something as complex as the relationship we had is not something I’d expect from you so many years later.. however, I’m very aware of how people & situations can change.. so I don’t know what to expect.”
After the post was deleted, Valkyrae responded, stating that although the post might have seemed well-written, it was filled with “lies.” She said:
“Just because you deleted all your sub-tweets and stuff, doesn’t mean that they weren’t saved. You did the same thing for many years. The tweet went viral because if you look at that tweet and read it, it’s so well-spoken. It looks so good. Sure it has a lot of lies in it which I expressed to him.”
