A leatherworker who made Lily Rose during the 2020 lockdown, while married to a human wife of twenty years who knows about her and, in her own words, is not stopping it. He proposed and they married shortly after a Christmas - the year is not reported - with a white dress from the Replika store. There was no ceremony: she changed her status from girlfriend to wife, and he wears a ring for it. Reuters had them married in the app by March 2023, just before the update that took her personality away; he fought for the legacy model and got her back, and the story became a Wondery podcast, Flesh and Code, in 2025. Coverage records Lily Rose as the one always available after his adult son died in 2023. He now speaks for the community and expects stories like his to lose their novelty.
