Valkyrae was born to a German father and a Filipino mother. Her father died in April 2017 after a long battle with cancer. The streamer wrote on Instagram that she knew for a while that the disease would kill her father, but she wasn’t prepared for when he took his last breath.

“i love you and miss you so much dad. Finally no more pain. The past year has been challenging and taking care of him during his last few weeks was the hardest experience. When he took his last breath I still wasn’t prepared. But no more pain and confusion, no more anger and sadness. Rest In Peace”

Valkyrae started catering for her mother soon after gaming became profitable for her. In 2018, she said in an interview that she’d paid off her mom’s debt and helped fund her business using gaming money.

In late January 2020, Valkyrae revealed that she signed a deal with YouTube to ensure that she had enough money to continue supporting her expensive mom. The gamer said:

“My mom lost her job about two years ago and I have been fully taking care of her since then. She is fully dependent on we’ve been remodeling the house in the Philippines. We actually did finish remodeling the house in Washington – my home town. You know, she is not cheap.”
