Emma Chamberlain is embracing being single.
The YouTube star and trend It-girl, 24, revealed on the most recent episode of her podcast “Something Goes” that she’s formally single once more. Although she didn’t point out her ex by title, Emma had been quietly linked to musician Peter McPoland all through 2024 after the pair have been noticed getting cozy on the Paris Olympics and later wore coordinating Halloween costumes, fueling romance rumors.
In the course of the Thursday, November 13, episode titled “Embracing being single,” Emma opened up concerning the emotional shift she’s navigating behind the scenes. “I’m going by way of a breakup proper now,” she shared, explaining that the connection was “critical” and lasted two years. “We actually deeply cherished one another.”
Regardless of the heartache, Emma emphasised that the cut up wasn’t explosive. As an alternative, she and her ex “determined to stay associates,” calling the separation considerate and mutual. However even with the amicable ending, the transition again into single life feels unfamiliar for her.
“I’ve had fairly a number of boyfriends, however I’ve had very quick breaks in between, that means I haven’t actually been single,” she mirrored. “So it’s a little bit bit formidable to be on this place now the place I’m single once more.” This time, she’s decided to not rush her therapeutic. “I do know I needs to be single for a little bit bit longer than two or three months. I feel this time I must be single for like a yr.”
Emma defined that traditionally, she would instantly begin scanning for her “subsequent boyfriend” after a breakup — one thing she now realizes was a sample of avoidance. “On the time, I didn’t actually discover what I used to be doing. I wasn’t actually self-reflecting,” she mentioned. “However now that I’m a little bit bit older, I perceive why I used to try this.”
Earlier than Peter, Emma was in a long-term relationship with singer-songwriter Position Mannequin (Tucker Pillsbury). They dated for 3 and a half years earlier than splitting in October 2023, and the connection closely formed Tucker’s 2024 album Kansas Anymore. “I’ve no regrets, and it’s a ravishing time in my life that I’m pleased with,” he instructed Nylon.
Tucker later shared on The Zach Sang Present that he struggled dwelling full-time in Los Angeles and spent lengthy stretches again dwelling in Maine, “creating house” between him and Emma. What he described as homesickness — mixed with a “quarter-life disaster” — finally led the pair to float aside.
