According to Diaz, he originally started his YouTube channel to share gameplays with his friends.[7]

    Diaz has said that he created his YouTube name, Willyrex, as a messenger screen name when he was about 11 years old- years before starting his YouTube channel. He chose willy, because it is a nickname for the English equivalent of his first name, William. He chose rex because it was Latin for the word king.[7]

    In 2014 he moved to Los Angeles then in early 2016 he moved to Andorra.[8][9]

    On 21 August 2019, he announced he will marry his girlfriend Cristina.[10][11] On 3 August 2020, Willyrex announced that the couple were expecting their first child.[12] In December of that same year, his YouTube channel was temporarily deleted.[13]
