In 2013, Jimmy embarked on a high-profile relationship of his own while he was still emerging on YouTube, beginning a romance with actress Emily Osment. The Hannah Montana star met the actor through a mutual friend, which he confirmed in a Reddit AMA, and the pair were together for two years, making several public appearances together.
Emily also made appearances in some of her boyfriend's YouTube skits. In 2015, however, it was confirmed that Jimmy and Emily had broken up. The latter began dating therapist Jim Gilbert in 2016 until 2021, when she began dating Jack Anthony. They got engaged in 2023 and tied the knot in October 2024. However, just five months later, the Mom star filed for divorce.

"I would be so bored If I was dating someone who agreed with me on everything and thought everything in the same way as me – I'd be so bored by that…," she shared. "I mean I am currently with someone who is my actual polar opposite."
