When YouTube superstar David Dobrik's new assistant, Natalie Mariduena, came onto the scene last year, it was clear the two loved each other. As childhood friends who grew up together in a Chicago suburb, Dobrik and Mariduena seem inseparable in "Vlog Squad" videos and on Instagram. Now, they're quarantining together during the pandemic in Dobrik's LA home, and fans are questioning whether that love is platonic or romantic.

Despite the pair's cute origin story and clear connection, Dobrik has squashed rumors that they're a couple.

In a new interview with "Entertainment Tonight," Dobrik and Mariduena both said they are not together. "It should be obvious at this point that there's never going to be a time when Natalie and I ever hook up," Dobrik said in the interview. "Even if this pandemic lasts 25 years, and we were stuck inside, it's never going to happen."

But fans have also suspected a romance between Dobrik and influencer-singer Madison Beer, after the two have posted a number of TikToks together. Dobrik denied those rumors, too, saying he was "not dating" anyone at all.

Dobrik previously dated YouTuber and talk show host Liza Koshy, who also had her start on Vine, like Dobrik. The two announced their split in a June 2018 video, but remain friends.

Since then, Dobrik, who runs one of the most popular channels on YouTube, inspired frequent speculation about his love life.
