YouTube Megastar Roman Atwood Is Engaged To Longtime Girlfriend Brittney Smith

It’s officially engagement season here on YouTube.

Roughly one week after Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg proposed to fellow creator Marzia Bisgonin, the prankster-vlogger Roman Atwood asked longtime girlfriend Brittney Smith to be his wife. Atwood, who stopped daily vlogging last month to experiment with other formats, shared the news with fans in a series of tweets yesterday evening. (Though perhaps the Emmy nominee and YouTube Red star will make his grand return to the platform with a wedding video).

Atwood first posted a picture of the ring and Smith fast asleep with a caption that read, “When she wakes up, I am asking her to marry me.” The following tweet, deployed three hours later, showed the happy couple kissing in celebration. Atwood and Smith have three children — and chronicled the birth of their youngest daughter, Cora, in an emotional video last July.
