Karl Jacobs, who regularly appears in MrBeast videos, has been a part of the team for a while now. MrBeast fans have always speculated about his gender. A question that irks fans is: Is Karl Jacobs trans? Well, the gender of a person can only be confirmed by the person themselves.
When it comes to Karl, he has not made any statements as such. He has not revealed his gender specifically, however, he has openly talked about his sexuality. He claimed a few years ago that he is close to being asexual.
Wanna clear something up!!!
On trainwreckstv scuffed podcast the other day I said I felt I am 🤏🏼 to being asexual. Wanted to explain that when I say that I mean like on the spectrum I am close to it but not 100% there— karl (@honkkarl) November 3, 2020
On the trainwreckstv podcast, in late 2020, Jacobs admitted to being close to becoming asexual. Taking to Twitter he further stated, “On trainwreckstv scuffed podcast the other day I said I felt I am 🤏🏼 to being asexual. Wanted to explain that when I say that I mean like on the spectrum I am close to it but not 100% there.”
Karl received backlash from some and support from some upon his comments. A similar thing happened to Chris Tyson, who is also a part of the MrBeast team. When Chris informed the world that he is going through HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), he was faced with a similarly mixed response.
MrBeast fans have also talked about something called the ‘Karl effect’. They claimed that Tyson’s HRT is related to the ‘Karl effect’. According to the fans, the Karl effect is something that makes the MrBeast team start transitioning in a certain way. However, Karl is not related to it any way and Chris himself clarified the situation as well.
Are Chris Tyson and Karl Jacobs from MrBeast dating?
Since the past few weeks, rumors of Chris dating Karl have been gaining pace. Chris, who was married to Katie Tyson, informed on Twitter that he has separated from Katie. They have a son named Tucker. However, since Chris’ HRT announcement fans have been speculating if Karl Jacobs is Chris’ new love interest.

These rumors, however, did not last long. Chris squashed these rumors by addressing them on Twitter. He tweeted, “The Karl effect while it lasted was funny to me bc (even tho Karl is a great friend) y’all think he’s my type

Chris, on the other hand, seems to have found a new love interest recently. He posted pictures with F1NN5TER, another content creator, from his trip to Japan.
