FIRST MARRIAGE
Samuels revealed in a VLAD-TV interview that he's been married twice.
He first tied the knot with his high school sweetheart, but it only lasted a year.
The exact year when Samuels married his first wife remains unknown.
The pair had one child - whose identity has not been disclosed.

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
The self-proclaimed love guru passed away on Thursday after he experienced chest pain and fell on top of a woman he was spending the night with, reports claim.
The YouTuber's mother, Beverly Samuels-Burch, confirmed his passing to NBC on Friday after rumors of his death spread on social media on Thursday.
His mother declined to provide details about his death; however, according to an incident report by the Atlanta Police Department, first responders responded to a 911 call at Samuels' apartment after he experienced chest pain.
A woman, who was spending the night with Samuels, called 911 after he fell on top of her.
Medical officials found Samuels unresponsive on the floor of his apartment, the report states.
After EMS officials performed CPR on Samuels, he was transported to Piedmont Hospital for evaluation.
Beverly told the outlet she found out about her son's death on social media.
"That was a terrible thing for social media to put that out. I didn't even know. I hadn't even been notified," she told the outlet on Friday.
"All I'm doing is requesting that people pray for us."
Melanie King, who claims to be a close friend of Samuels, said she received "family confirmation" that he had passed away.
