SELF-PROCLAIMED lifestyle guru Kevin Samuels enjoyed offering relationship advice – but little is known about his own love life.
Samuels, 56, has been married twice and rumors swirled online that he was in a relationship with the influencer Brittany Renner after the pair were seen together.
The controversial YouTuber, who has been accused of misogyny, reportedly died on Thursday, according to close friends.
Samuels dished out lifestyle and relationship advice via online channels.
He caused outrage on social media after he said that women over 35 years old are “leftover” if they are unmarried.
Despite dishing out the advice online, very little is known about Samuels’ private life as he tended not to share family pictures online.

Live updates as controversial YouTuber Kevin Samuels ‘suddenly dies’

Samuels revealed he got divorced because “it wasn’t a good idea to get married in the first place”.
He said: “We were high school sweethearts. Every relationship has its up and downs.
“We were better together as friends than actually as a couple. There was a lot of other stuff going on the inside.
“We had a great relationship. We’ve known each other since the fourth grade."
SECOND MARRIAGE
Samuels then revealed he tied the knot again six to seven years later.
There were no kids in the relationship, he revealed.
The influencer claimed the marriage, which lasted three years, ended because of “irreconcilable differences”.
He quipped: “There’s nothing salacious to tell about it. No one goes into marriage wanting to get a divorce.”
Samuels vowed that he wouldn’t “begrudge” his ex-wives about the breakdown of their relationships.
He said: “I don’t say anything negative about them because there’s no reason to. I wish the people the best.”
Samuels didn’t rule out the prospect of getting married for the third time.
He said: “I don’t think anybody wants to live this life truly by themselves. We just don’t really know how to get it done.”
BRITTANY RENNER
In November 2021, Samuels and Renner were seen together in an Instagram clip, fueling speculation that they were dating.
In the clip, Samuels showed off his luxury motor and can be heard saying: “Surely, surely can’t fit in that.”
Renner was wearing a purple jumpsuit and knee-high boots.
The pair were reportedly seen on a so-called shopping date in Atlanta, Georgia.
They apparently went into several luxury stores and onlookers told News Nation USA at the time that Samuels was taking Renner on a “shopping spree”.
Twitter users rushed to social media to speculate if Samuels and Renner were dating.
One posted: “Is Brittany Renner flirting with Kevin Samuels.”
Another commented: “Kevin Samuels hanging out with Brittany Renner?”
The pair were seen together just months after Renner announced on her Instagram feed that it was “step daddy season”.
She said: “Hey yall, hi. It’s officially stepdaddy season. Yeah, what up? I got the car seat in the back, let’s go to the park!
“Don’t let your baby daddy or baby mama block your blessings.”
Renner is the ex-girlfriend of NBA star PJ Washington and the pair were embroiled in a child support row.
She is an Instagram model and former Jackson State soccer star.
She played at Jackson State University and won the SWAC championship in 2010.
The model has previously been romantically linked to multiple NBA stars and rappers, including James Harden, Jamal Murray, Ben Simmons, Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Trey Songz, and Chris Brown.
There's no evidence to suggest Renner was ever in a relationship with Samuels.
‘DEATH’
Melanie King, who claims to be a close friend of Samuels, said she received family confirmation that he had passed away.
She told music star F.C The Truth: “This is 100 per cent."
Samuels' family or team has yet to publicly announce the Georgia star's death.
No statement confirming his death has been uploaded to social media.
Unverified reports shared on social media claim the star suffered a cardiac arrest, but these have not been confirmed.
But, fans paid tribute to the consultant and influencer as rumors swirled online.
Influencer Sabrina Paterson said: “Prayers I pray this isn’t true.”
American TV personality Phaedra Parks posted two praying emojis alongside a love heart.
Canadian YouTuber LaToya Forever said: “No just no.”
And, singer-songwriter Sy Ari da Kid posted: “Nah OG don’t leave that soon brother. Keep killin.”
Samuels's most recent post on Instagram was a 94-minute clip titled: “Modern Women are a Party of One” which he shared on Wednesday.
The video was the last clip uploaded to his YouTube page.
