YouTuber IShowSpeed has been loved up recently – announcing last year he was in a relationship with Vanessa Anne Williams, who is known for a 2018 movie role.
IShowSpeed, who is known for his marathon streams, as well as physical stunts – and being clobbered occasionally in WWE – announced back in December that he had a new girlfriend.
Online announcement
The announcement came during a Fortnite marathon stream with Kai Cenat. IShowSpeed had hinted previously that he was in a relationship, but this was the first time he had revealed her name in public.
Around the same time, Williams appeared on Priah Ferguson’s YouTube video, titled Girl Talk / Holiday edition. In that, Williams was asked about who her favorite YouTuber was and she replied: “My favorite YouTuber? My Man! Shoutout, shoutout I guess.”
Who is Vanessa Anne Williams?
Williams is best known for her role as Rose Rita Pottinger in the 2018 fantasy epic movie The House With a Clock in its Walls.
The House With a Clock in its Walls was a big budget movie starring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett, with Owen Vaccaro as the hero of the film, 10-year-old Lewis Barnavelt. Lewis is an orphan sent to live with his uncle and aunt, who discovers a magical clock hidden in the walls of the house – he has to uncover its secrets and stop a sinister plan from being carried out.
Williams was about 12 when she played Rose Rita, a girl who befriends the main character, Lewis, towards the end of the movie. This is as Lewis moves towards the movie’s happy ending.
She also, according to IMDB, appeared in an episode of rebooted US soap Dynasty in 2017. However, she has had no acting credits since these two appearances.
Today, Williams has more than 989,000 followers on Instagram, at the time of writing, and her biography simply says ‘entrepreneur’, but doesn’t elaborate on that. She is not the most active poster on the site.
Likewise, a YouTube channel of hers has 22,000 subscribers, but she rarely posts on it.
IShowSpeed, real name Darren Watkins Jr, has become a huge star in recent years thanks to his streams and stunts, and it has earned him a lot of money – you can read about his net worth here.
