Family Life

Tylil James was born and raised in The Bronx, New York, where he attended John F. Kennedy High School. He graduated in 2018 at the age of 18 and played basketball for his school team during that time.

He has an African-American ethnic background. His niece, Sage, has become a familiar face in his Twitch streams. Although some fans mistook her for his daughter, Tylil clarified that she is his niece.

And, Sage, who is four years old, has her own Instagram page (@ohthatssage) with more than 60k thousand followers, managed by her mother (@autumndior__).

In June 2025, Tylil recounted how he and Sage were refused access to the BET Awards Red Carpet but later got in easily once Kai Cenat arrived, which motivated him to work even harder on his career for him and his niece.

Get this, though: in a December 2023 TikTok, Tylil revealed he has 13 siblings and that each of his 13 siblings are a year older than each other. He is the seventh child of his parents and Kayshawn is his oldest brother, Armani is his oldest sister (kid #3), and Sage’s mother, Autumn, is his immediate younger sister (kid #8).

Girlfriend

Tylil James confirmed in early 2025 that he is in a happy relationship. He introduced his girlfriend on a Twitch stream, and clips of the moment like “Tylil Introduces His Girlfriend on Stream for the First Time”, quickly went viral across TikTok.

Fans especially loved the clip “Tylil Introduces His Girlfriend to Momma,” which pretty much sealed his relationship with his girlfriend as authentic.

He has previously been rumored to date Zoe Spencer, but those claims were debunked. Zoe is simply one of his close friends and is currently in a relationship with her current boyfriend, Zeddy Will.

Tylil’s nickname is TyTy James. He is good friends with Kai Cenat, including other AMP members like Asianboyray and Duke Dennis.

That same year, his lifelong admiration for LeBron James turned into a viral cultural moment. At Fanatics Fest in June 2025, Kai Cenat introduced Tylil to LeBron, leading to an emotional exchange of hugs and handshakes.

LeBron even jokingly called him his “firstborn son” and “long-lost third brother,” which was all Tylil has ever dreamt of. Tylil later tattooed LeBron’s crown logo and the date “6.21.25” on his body to commemorate the meeting.
