Natalie Mariduena (born December 1, 1996) is an Instagram star. ^[1]

Natalie attended Lake Forest College and earned her degree in Psychology in 2018.^[4]

Mariduena became David Dobrik's assistant after he and a fellow Vlog Squad member and YouTuber Jason Nash convinced her to take the job. The two originally met in their hometown of Vernon Hills, Illinois, and even went to Prom together. Their paths split when David moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue his social media star aspirations and Natalie stayed in Illinois to attend Lake Forest College.^[20]

Natalie is from Vernon Hills, Illinois.

Natalie lives in David Dobrik's mansion and frequently accompanies him to the squad’s wild parties, popular music festivals, and even award shows. She was also gifted a Mercedes for her 22nd birthday and a baby-blue Bronco for 23rd by Dobrik.^[20]

Mariduena and Dobrik are rumoured to be together.

Many fans were all but assured the two were an item after a video resurfaced of David accidentally “revealing” he was dating Natalie.

In addition, David and his longtime girlfriend Liza Koshy broke up almost two years ago. It seemed like Natalie ended a relationship with her boyfriend Shawn Nelson not too long after.^[20]

Mariduena and Dobrik dressed up as Tony Stark and Pepper Potts for Halloween 2019. And, according to a lie detector test, they do not view each other strictly platonically either.^[20]

David called Natalie “the hardest working person on the team” and one of the women he is inspired by the most.^[20]

Through her connection with David, Natalie has amassed a large following on Social Media.

As of February 2020, she has about 3.3 million followers on Instagram and about 438,000 followers on Twitter.^[2][3]
