Having rarely spoken about her in public, KSI has opened up a little more about his girlfriend of eight years that nobody sees.
While it might seem like KSI has his finger in many, many, pies and is often appearing on our screens for one reason or another, his relationship has remained largely under wraps.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge says he’s been with his girlfriend since 2017 and she lives quite a different lifestyle to him.
Pretty respectfully, her identity is kept private, and the star previously spoke about her working a 9-5 job for the NHS and not wanting ‘to be famous’. And adding to the normality, the 31-year-old even once said that they’d actually met on Tinder.

Appearing on the Now You Know series with Julie Adenuga, KSI said his girlfriend ‘grounds’ him.
“She definitely tells me sometimes if I'm doing too much; If I need to relax and I need to chill,” he explained. “But it's good. I can talk to her about anything. And like, we've had our ups and downs, as all relationships do.”
He also went on to describe how they balance each other out as ‘she doesn't want to be in the limelight, she doesn't want to be known, she doesn't want to be famous or anything’.
“She wants to just do her job, nine to five, and just help people,” he added.

So, being in different industries means they can just ‘come back together’ after finishing work and ‘just talk about over lives and chill’.
“I'm able to just relax with her and like, it's not work or it's not hard, it's just super easy,” KSI said.
Having faced those ‘ups and downs’, he explained they broke up at one point but he started to see a therapist to ‘really just zoom in on me and, like, to understand what I want, what makes me happy, what I desire’.
“And then I thought about her and what her thoughts are and what she needs and everything. And it got to point where I was like, ‘I need her in my life’. So, you know, I essentially begged her to be with me,” he explained.

Looking forward on their ‘amazing’ but ‘rollercoaster’ relationship, he admitted marriage is something he’s thought of as Adenuga asked: "Are you going to do all the marriage and the big wedding and all these things?" KSI responded that he is 'probably going to'. He then opened up: "I’ve never actually seen like, like my parents do it or anything like that so it’s quite foreign to me."
And it's not just wedding bells but kids potentially on the horizon but ‘not anytime soon’.
“I feel like we still need to just enjoy each other's company,” the star added.
