YouTuber David Dobrik was spotted in Australia with entrepreneur and socialite Emma Pillemer last weekend. Sydney-based Pillemer, popularly known as Emma Pills by her fans, was seen spending time with Dobrik on a deli run.

Last seen on the popular Channel 7 reality show Made in Bondi, Emma is known for her jewelry brand, which she launched in September 2020.

While the duo has never been associated romantically, rumor mills have been churning ever since Dobrik was featured on Pillemer's Instagram.

Who is Emma Pillemer?

Born in 2001, Pillemer is a jewelry designer and social media personality. Having launched her eponymous jewelry brand during the 2020 pandemic, her pieces have been worn by celebrities like Katie Perry, Abbie Chatfield, and Carrie Bickmore.

Notably, she became the youngest designer featured on The Iconic Fashion website. Boasting over 150,000 followers on TikTok and 1000,000+ on Instagram, Emma gained notoriety after her appearance in the hit Aussie reality show Made in Bondi.


What has David Dobrik been up to?

One of the originals of the YouTube scene, David has been no stranger to controversies. After supposedly leaving the platform in 2022 and subsequently announcing his return earlier this month, Dobrik has always been at the center of controversies.

In one of the earliest incidents, a former fan of the YouTuber's collective Vlog Squad alleged that Dom Zeglaitis (one of the collective's earliest members) engaged in trapping and h*mping her clothed while David Dobrik first filmed the vlog and THEN intervened.

In what is dubbed the "worst mishap" in the vlogging circuit, Jeff Wittek, one of Vlog Squad's popular and beloved members, sustained severe injuries while swinging from an excavator arm operated by David Dobrik for a video. As the machine spun, Wittek lost control and collided with its metal arm before falling into the water, left dangling by his leg.

He later revealed the crash shattered his skull in nine places, broke his foot and hip, tore a leg ligament, and nearly cost him an eye. Wittek rues, to this day, that Dobrik neither paid for the medical expenses nor did he even visit him at the hospital. He later released his own podcast episode titled "Dear David," where he bared his heart out:

The way ahead

While fans continue to speculate and rumors swirl, the truth about their relationship remains uncertain. Until official confirmations are made, all we can do is wait and watch as the story unfolds.
