From 'Solby' Fan Rumors to Sofie Dossi: the Evolution of Sam Golbach's Dating Timeline
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
Colby Brock historically approached his romantic life with greater privacy than his creative partner. While Golbach's relationship with Stuart was an open book on YouTube, Brock rarely spotlighted his partners, preferring audiences focus on the content itself.
That personal focus shifted publicly in February 2023, when Brock disclosed that he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer. The revelation paused regular operations for the channel as Brock underwent surgery and treatment. The health scare unified their digital audience around his recovery, overshadowing frivolous dating rumors with genuine concern for his well-being. Brock announced he was cancer-free later that year.
Around this period, Brock went public with his relationship with Australian dancer Shea Durant. The couple has shared snippets of their life together across red carpet appearances, international travel vlogs, and milestone celebrations. With both Golbach and Brock in clearly defined, public heterosexual relationships, the Solby shipping narratives have largely transitioned into nostalgic relics of their early YouTube careers.
