Jack Doherty’s Girlfriend: Relationship Timeline and Recent Reports

Jack Doherty is an American streamer and prank YouTuber, born in 2003, whose high-energy content has regularly produced headlines. Readers searching for his girlfriend usually want a clear timeline, so here it is, with a strict line between what is documented and what is alleged.

ImportantAnything described below as "alleged" or "according to a police report" has not been proven in court. We found no reporting of a conviction.

McKinley Richardson

Doherty’s best-known partner is fellow creator McKinley Richardson. Entertainment outlets describe a November 2024 wedding livestream, and later coverage refers to her as an ex. Richardson was reported to have left in March 2025 and has since spoken in interviews, including one with Complex, about what life was like behind the scenes.

November 2025: Miami Beach arrest

On 15 November 2025, Doherty was arrested in Miami Beach. Reports say police alleged he blocked traffic on Washington Avenue while filming content and refused to clear the road; officers then reported finding controlled substances. The charges listed were possession of a controlled substance, possession of under 20 grams of marijuana and resisting arrest without violence. He posted bail and responded publicly with humour, including a shirt featuring his mugshot.

September 2026: police affidavit

In September 2026, TMZ, Complex and Dexerto reported on a police affidavit from Fort Lauderdale in which a girlfriend alleged a physical altercation. The affidavit’s claims are allegations. We do not name the woman, and we will update this page if charges or outcomes are reported.

Other controversies

He has been in the news for a 2024 car crash while livestreaming and a street fight that preceded a platform ban. These are covered in the outlets linked above, and again, details differ between reports.

How to follow this story responsibly

  1. Use court records or reputable outlets rather than reaction videos.
  2. Remember that a police report records a claim, not a verdict.
  3. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, contact local emergency services or a national helpline.
