Maya Higa was born on May 24, 1998, to a Japanese father and an American mother in Los Angeles, California. Her given name is Maya Higa, but everyone calls her Maya. She is currently 24 years old. She is the founder of Alveus Sanctuary, an animal sanctuary and an education center.
Twitch claims that 15 million active users on the platform spend an average of 95 minutes each day watching anything from pro-level Fortnite to bizarre characters chatting directly into their cameras as if reuniting with a long-lost buddy. She initially took it as a joke, but she continued anyway. Her two brothers and sister reared her on a ranch in Northern California.
She is the eldest of five siblings. In June 2020, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in agricultural education and communication from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo.
Twitch and Instagram
Maya Higa has a large following on Twitch and Instagram. She has a big fan following as a result of her amusing videos. Higa began streaming on Twitch in February 2019 and hasn’t looked back ever since.
She is an animal rehabilitator, falconer, and environmental conservationist, as well as a fantastic vocalist. She combines her abilities and interests to create content. It wasn’t long until a video of her became viral on social media, and her fame skyrocketed. She has 613K Twitch followers.

Maya organized a charitable stream to generate donations for a homeless-helping group where she used to serve. That made local news, which unintentionally increased her fame.
Twitch streamer Trainwreck accused Mizkif of using his buddies to cover up sexual assaults on streamer Adrianah Lee.
Mitch Jones and his then-girlfriend Maya Higa were mentioned in the allegations. Maya delivered her last remark on the matter a few days later, announcing an “indefinite” break across all of her channels. She tweeted for the first time since announcing her break on November 15, 2022. She said something along the lines of “Hello, guys, thank you for your patience. — I’ll be live tomorrow.”
Career: YouTube Channel
Maya Higa has two YouTube accounts. Her first YouTube channel, Maya, has 23 million views and 328K fans and was launched on August 9, 2019. Maya Daily is the name of her second YouTube channel. 562K people follow her verified Twitch account.

Her fame on Twitch and YouTube, however, has skyrocketed since then. So she’s probably making more money today than she was before, though a large portion of it flows to the non-profit animal sanctuary. Maya’s overall net worth is estimated to be in the $1 million range.
Who is She Dating Now?
While it is typically easy to figure out who Maya is seeing, it is more difficult to keep track of all her connections, flings, and breakups. Even in 2023, celebrities continue to astound us with their ability to keep their personal lives hidden. Maya Higa, like other celebrities, keeps her personal and romantic life secret.
She is relatively modest when it comes to revealing her personal life, and she makes an effort to avoid the public spotlight. Maya may not be seeing anybody officially, but she may be seeing someone in secret, and the facts have not yet been made public. Therefore jumping to conclusions is just not a good idea, is it?

As of 2023, she is unmarried. However, she was dating Matthew Rinaudo, also known as Mizkif online and a notable twitch streamer. She was with him for around two years. Mizkif and Maya kept their romance a secret until they accidentally announced it in an unboxing video in late 2019.
Since then, the two have been inseparable, and they have become one of the most popular streamers on the platform. Mizkif, 26, and Maya, 23, would frequently stream together, exchanging awkward stories and creating a fanbase together. Rinaudo stated on Twitter on September 14, 2021, that he and Higa had decided to discontinue their relationship.
