Former YouTube icon Grayson Dolan is all set to walk down the aisle!
The 25-year-old recently popped the big question to his girlfriend, Eleni Stamoulis, People magazine has reported. She took to Instagram to announce the news on Monday, August 4, with a string of photos of her blingy diamond ring and a simple white heart emoji.
Per the outlet, Stamoulis was seen striking a pose in front of Saints Constantine and Helen Orthodox Metropolitan Church, which suggests that their special moment may have taken place in Greece. For the unversed, Stamoulis is an Australian influencer-cum-designer. She has 8K followers on Instagram, though she doesn't post as often.

People Magazine has reported that Grayson Dolan and Eleni Stamoulis have largely kept their romance out of the spotlight, and so, not much is known about them. However, they were first spotted on a night out at the beach last year as they walked around holding hands.
The news follows Grayson Dolan's twin brother, Ethan's marriage to social media influencer Kristina Alice. E! News has reported that they announced their engagement in July 2023, prior to which they'd dated for three years. They tied the knot in August last year in upstate New York.
Back in 2020, during an episode of the Deeper with the Dolan Twins podcast, Grayson Dolan asked the pair where they saw themselves in five years, to which Ethan replied:
“We’re gonna have a house in our favorite part of Australia, and seven kids. We’re gonna have sextuplets and one child.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Ethan asked Grayson Dolan if his relationship with Kristina made him want to be in a committed relationship himself, to which he said:
“It did, and I tried it to the point where it was forced. It was unnatural. It didn’t work and I tried again. I think it was part of the whole [coronavirus] unsettling feeling where you’re in quarantine and you have no idea of what the f*** is gonna happen tomorrow, so you feel really unsettled and you’re looking for an anchor to ground you. For me, that was like a relationship. But now my identical twin is in a committed relationship and it’s super healthy. I’m not jealous or maybe not envious.”
The twins' news comes after they decided to step back from being content creators in 2019. At the time, they shared a video on their YouTube channel explaining the negative effects of their schedule:
“I need to figure out what I need to do to improve my quality of life,” Ethan said at the time. "We need to stop stunting our growth. If we don't correct these problems now, it could last a lot longer.”
They first rose to fame in 2013 on Vine, which has since gone defunct. They peaked with 10 million subscribers on YouTube and about 3.2 million followers on Instagram, per People Magazine.
