Emma Chamberlain and Peter McPoland have sparked dating rumors after being seen together on multiple occasions.

The entrepreneur and musician were first spotted walking together in New York City, and later at a music festival in Utah. In July, they were seen sitting together at the 2024 Paris Olympics, which added more fuel to the speculation that they might be in a relationship.

In October 2024, Chamberlain and McPoland seemed to confirm their relationship when they dressed as Wallace & Gromit for Halloween.

Chamberlain, who became famous through YouTube, previously dated musician Tucker Pillsbury, known as Role Model, for three years before they broke up in October 2023.

McPoland, a musician, has kept his personal life mostly private. However, in 2023, he publicly praised Chamberlain during an interview, calling her an “icon” and comparing her to his other idol, Bruce Springsteen.

So, who is Emma Chamberlain’s rumored boyfriend? Here’s some background on Peter McPoland and his relationship with Chamberlain.

McPoland was born in Vermont and moved to Texas when he was 7, according to Cleveland.com. He was active in theater during his school years but always wanted to focus more on music, as he told Chron in 2019.

“I find myself enjoying time in theater and spending time with friends, but whenever I’m in the recording studio with this new song, it’s the most fun I’ve ever had in my entire life,” McPoland said.

He fell in love with music when he was 9 

McPoland has been involved in music from a young age. He began with school theater and later started writing his own songs. At 14, he learned to play guitar by himself, according to Columbia Records.

His love for music was influenced by his parents, especially his father, McPoland explained in a 2019 interview with Cleveland.com.

“Both of my parents are very into music, and my father – a lot of my influences come from my father,” he said.

In 2021, McPoland signed with Columbia Records, and his first song, “i can’t sleep,” was inspired by his parents’ divorce. Two years later, he released his debut album Piggy under the same label.

“I don’t cry much, I just write songs instead,” McPoland said. “I take whatever I’m going through, write it all out and put it in a point of view that rhymes. I don’t know if it fixes anything, but everything always feels a little better after that.”

He was a “big Emma Chamberlain fan”

In November 2023, McPoland spoke about his admiration for Chamberlain during an interview on the Zach Sang Show.

“I’m a big Emma Chamberlain fan,” he said. “She’s an icon to me,” he added, expressing his appreciation for what she has achieved with her business.

Chamberlain, who became popular on YouTube in 2016, has expanded her brand with Chamberlain Coffee, her podcast Anything Goes, and various ventures in the fashion industry, including hosting Met Gala red carpet interviews.

McPoland also compared her to Bruce Springsteen, who has had a big influence on him.

Earlier in 2023, McPoland included clips of Chamberlain’s YouTube videos in his music video for “Blue.”

Both of them were spotted together in May 2024

The exact details of how Chamberlain and McPoland met aren’t clear, but they were first seen together in May 2024 near Rockefeller Center in New York City. They were also spotted at the Kilby Block Party music festival in Utah later that month.

They made their first public appearance at the 2024 Olympics

Chamberlain and McPoland were seen together at the 2024 Paris Olympics in July. While neither has officially confirmed they are in a relationship, their public appearances have led to more speculation about their connection.

Chamberlain and McPoland were spotted with her dad, Michael, at an event hosted by Ralph Lauren. The following day, they were seen sitting together at the artistic gymnastics tournament.

In October 2024, Chamberlain and McPoland seemed to confirm their relationship on Instagram. They wore a couple’s costume for Halloween, dressing as Wallace & Gromit from the British animated film series, and both posted photos on Instagram.

Although they didn’t take a photo together, Chamberlain shared a close-up of McPoland’s name tag, which read: “Hello, my name is Gromit.” Fans in the comments called it the couple’s “soft launch.”
