Controversial YouTuber Spanian appears to have split from wife and moved on with new woman
The ex-con appeared to confirm the split a few weeks after his wife Angela McColl, with whom he shares a young son, teased a story time about their marriage.
Controversial YouTuber Anthony Lees, better known online as Spanian, appears to have split from his wife of two years and moved on with a new woman.
The 35-year-old, an ex-con who has amassed over a million followers drill rapping and creating content about the world’s most dangerous neighbourhoods, appeared to confirm his new relationship status in a post on Monday evening after a video he shared of himself cuddling up to a blonde was published in the media.
“I’m in The Daily Telegraph because I have a missus, I’m in the news because I have a beautiful new missus,” he said on social media.
“I get a girlfriend, I’m in the news, I break-up with my ex wife, I’m in the news… I love the fact that I’m extremely relevant…”
The content creator shares a five-month-old boy with his ex Angela McColl whom he married in August 2023.
The revelation comes a matter of weeks after McColl posted and then deleted a social media post teasing a “story time” about their marriage.
“Who the f**k did I marry and have a kid too will be out shortly, shout-out to spanian.official, (sic)” she wrote before later deleting the post.
A day later however, McColl backtracked and claimed she was wrong about her “receipts”.
“I was given wrong information … about a child being born at the same time as mine with the same person … I received fake ultrasounds, fake texts and fake photos. People crazy, everyone can unfollow me now,” she wrote, before making a joke about “crashing out”.
Spanian claims to have spent over 12 years in prison and has previously been in the media for sharing advice on how to avoid law enforcement.
His TikTok, YouTube and Instagram content typically centres around his series Into The Hood, in which he travels the world to visit notorious neighbourhoods to see what life is really like for the people who live there.
He also has a food series and has launched a food truck business.
