Katie Tyson has been Chris Tyson's wife for several years. It's unknown when her love story with the YouTuber began, but it culminated when their baby boy, Tucker Tyson, was born. In recent years, however, the romance took a drastic turn as Chris gradually revealed more about his true identity.
Katie Tyson (née Farquhar) would have celebrated her fifth year in marital bliss as Chris Tyson's wife this year. However, as her husband — chiefly known for co-hosting on MrBeast's channel since 2012 — revealed in a recent Twitter update, their romance ended a little over a year ago.
The couple, who led careers in different fields, had a beautiful family life alongside one another, and despite their split, it doesn't appear to have ended. A few months after their son's birth, Chris announced he was bisexual. Shortly after tweeting about their separation, he revealed he was undergoing gender-affirming care.
Katie Tyson Works in Healthcare
Katie graduated with a degree in Neurodiagnostics from the University of North Carolina in 2019. Per her Facebook bio, she currently works at ECU Physicians — a health institution that specializes in cardiovascular and diabetes treatment — in the Pulmonary department.
She also earns commissions on Amazon selling a wide range of products, including clothing dupes, kitchenware, organization items, toys, home decor, and beauty products. The mom of one also has an active social media presence, with a vibrant Instagram account that boasted 165K followers at the time of writing.
Katie and Chris Tyson's Love Story
It's unknown when they started dating or became engaged, but the couple enjoyed a lovely bridal shower in March 2018. By May 12 of that year, they were married. Two years later, in June 2020, the couple welcomed their boy, Tucker Tyson, and the now-four-year-old has his own Instagram profile. On his mom's birthday in July 2021, his dad wrote:
"Happy Birthday to the best Mother, Wife, and Friend I could ever ask for. I love you so much dear [purple heart emoji]."
Katie Tyson and Her Husband Have Separated
In November 2020, Chris publicly came out as bisexual. The blogger had tried coming out as a teen but received a lot of backlash from friends and family. He also hinted at other things that happened that he may go into detail about in the future but maintained that he no longer wanted to be silent about his identity.
Toward the end of March this year, he tweeted about his separation from Katie and said they were "finalizing things soon." Chris asked his followers not to pry into the matter as he wanted to maintain its privacy. Afterward, fans began suspecting he was dating his friend and co-host, Karl Jacobs.
Chris denied the rumors and made light of the situation, saying Karl didn't exactly fit the criteria of his "type." Regardless of the gossip and the split, he and Katie seem to have remained on good terms; the former couple still spends quality time with their son. Just a few weeks ago, Chris commented, "He had soooo much fun!!" under Katie's post (below).
Hormone Therapy Saved Chris Tyson's Life
Two weeks after announcing his split from Katie, Chris revealed he had undergone two months of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), a medication that contains female hormones. As he advocated for letting "people make informed decisions about their own bodies," he shared, "Informed consent HRT saved my and many others' lives."
