The woman who became a viral sensation after uttering some now very iconic words has finally revealed the identity of her boyfriend 'Pookie'.

Haliey Welch, otherwise known as the 'Hawk Tuah' girl, took over the internet after being interviewed on the streets of Nashville back in June.

YouTubers Tim and Dee TV spoke to dozens of women on the street, but it was Haliey who stole the show.

The Nashville native and her friend were chatting to Dee about the best way to 'make a man go crazy every time', when her mate flawlessly set Haliey up for the slam dunk.

"This is for her. You know how to answer this, you got it," she said.

And that's when Haliey responded: "You gotta give 'em that 'Hawk Tuah' and spit on that thang!"

And the rest is history.

After becoming the most talked-about person on social media, she started her own podcast Talk Tuah with Haliey Welch.

With nearly 190,000 subscribers, fans across the world have been tuning into her episodes on a weekly basis.

Recently though, Haliey has teased details about her love interest, a mystery guy called 'Pookie' who she famously shouted out in the viral video.

Well, on a 12 November episode, she finally introduced her boyfriend, whose real name is Kelby Blackwell.

Incredibly, one of the pair's first encounters was in a car parked in Walmart where they 'yapped for three hours', whilst Haliey's cousin was hiding underneath a blanket in the vehicle.

Explaining the circumstances of their relationship, Kelby said: "So last year I was actually in a relationship for right around two and a half years.

"Nobody knows that of course because Haliey did not bring that up so everybody just thinks I'm a sorry sack of s**t.

"We broke up, I think, last March and it was just kind of like a dirty breakup.

"So the last couple months after that before I started actually like considering Haliey I was more working on myself and working on like being able to bring her what she needed for herself to where I didn't want to bring the hurt on to her."

He completely dismissed the rumblings that he only decided to become official with Haliey when she became famous.

"You can believe what you want at the end of the day, I mean I know what I feel in my heart and that I love Haliey so like that's just that," he said.
