In another tweet, Chris wrote: “I was super nervous to be public about this bc I’ve always been so private when it comes to this, but seeing conversations started bc of me is amazing.”
They also touched on the hardships they faced when trying to undergo these changes: “The hurdles gnc [gender-nonconforming] people have to jump through to get life-saving gender-affirming health care in a first-world country is wild to me. Just let people make informed decisions about their own bodies.”
Nolan Hansen, who is part of MrBeast’s team, replied to one of Chris’s tweets: “Holy smokes I’m proud of you.”
MrBeast also replied to a tweet from Chris. “Gotchu,” he wrote, followed by three heart emojis.

Given that Chris has been undergoing HRT, many fans have been wondering if they’re still married to their wife Katie Tyson. As of right now, it is unclear whether Chris and Katie are still together, but based on their Instagram activity, it doesn’t appear so. Neither Katie nor Chris, who appears to now be going by “Kris,” have posted photos of each other since 2020.
