Twitch streamer Duke Dennis has found himself at the center of swirling rumors and personal allegations in recent days, prompting him to speak out and clarify the truth about his private life. The 31-year-old AMP member, known for his online gaming streams, has vehemently denied claims that he has fathered eight children, a rumor that took social media by storm over the weekend of May 31 to June 2, 2025.
On June 3, 2025, Duke Dennis addressed the speculation during a Just Chatting Twitch stream, emphatically stating, "I do not have eight fking kids, which is no offense to anybody who do. All right?" He expressed frustration at how the internet had seized on the unverified claims, posting them "in, like, bold print, as if you know for a fact that's the case, when it is not the case." He further clarified that the number wasn’t seven or any other figure being thrown around online, underscoring that the rumors were entirely false.
Duke revealed that these rumors were not new, saying, "I done told y'all over and over again. Just, like, the fourth year in a row," indicating that the persistent gossip had been circulating for years. He stressed his desire to keep parts of his personal life, particularly his family, private, stating, "I'm never ever going to post my family," except for his brother. In a candid moment, he called those who pry into his family life "weird," adding, "It is none of your business. If I wanted to include y’all in my business, I would. There’s just some shit I keep myself, my momma, my family, and all those things."
Despite his denials, the rumor mill continued to churn, fueled by a recent video circulating on social media. In this video, a woman claiming to be one of Duke Dennis' ex-partners accused him of impregnating her in December 2024 and refusing to pay for her abortion. She alleged, "He didn't give me a single dollar," and accused him of having a "breeding kink" and being a "deadbeat" who does not take care of his many children and baby mothers. The woman said Duke told her to keep the baby but did not support her financially when she brought up the abortion, describing his behavior as "weirdo."
The video drew significant attention and support from fans online, with many praising the woman for choosing to prioritize herself. One commenter wrote, "Yes!!!! Finally a young woman that chooses herself over a man," while another noted it was "refreshing that she chose to pay for her own abortion instead of birthing what was likely going to be a fatherless child." This controversy added complexity to the narrative surrounding Duke Dennis’ family life, though the streamer himself remained consistent in denying having multiple children.
Adding to the confusion, a fellow AMP member, Fanum, jokingly remarked, "Only person I know who’s a dad is my son, Duke," though it remains unclear if this was meant seriously or in jest. This comment further muddled public perception, but Duke’s direct statements remain the clearest indication of his stance.
On June 4, 2025, Duke Dennis released a two-minute video on X (formerly Twitter), addressing the harassment faced by the mother of his children. While he denied having multiple children, he acknowledged having kids and expressed concern over the online community's behavior. He described the harassment as "very weird" and said he had been trying to protect his family from such invasions of privacy from the very start.
"When I first started streaming and st, I decided how I wanted to, like, operate a long time ago," Duke explained. "But you know, unfortunately, that option has been taken away from me. It's been taken away from me at this point because y'all keep harassing, you know what saying, the mother of my kids, and you know, being very, very weird. And this is exactly what I wanted to protect them from all along."
He went on to emphasize the toll such harassment takes, saying, "That s**t is mentally draining for a lot of people, bro. I don't think y'all understand the toll it take, you know what saying?" He also reiterated his initial intent to keep his family out of the internet spotlight, explaining, "That was my main priority from jump. I never wanted them in this whole light because I live on the internet every single day. This is where I am, this is where I live at. Bro, I'm well aware on how the internet is, and how nasty the internet is. So I always wanted to keep everybody involved away from that. But now, you know what I'm saying? Y'all proved me right once again. You feel me? So, please stop that, okay?"
The saga highlights the challenges faced by public figures in balancing transparency with privacy, especially in the age of social media where rumors can spread like wildfire and personal matters become public fodder. Duke Dennis’ firm denials and appeals for privacy underscore the difficulty of maintaining boundaries when online audiences demand access to every aspect of a celebrity’s life.
While the rumors about the number of Duke Dennis’ children have been thoroughly debunked by the streamer himself, the emotional and social impact of the allegations remains. The personal accusations from the woman claiming to be an ex-partner add a layer of complexity and have sparked conversations about responsibility, privacy, and the pressures placed on public figures.
For now, Duke Dennis continues to assert control over his narrative, making clear that while he may have children, the exaggerated claims of multiple offspring are unfounded. His messages remind fans and critics alike that some parts of a person’s life are meant to stay private, even in an era where the internet often blurs those lines.
