With an arrest and horrendous accusations leveled at him, there's no doubt that Andrew Tate has become one of the most controversial figures in pop culture. But his numerous and (at the time of this writing) ongoing scandals aside, one cannot deny the impact he's had on his audience.
After years of a successful kickboxing career, Andrew Tate became a celebrity when he starred in the British edition of Big Brother. Despite only appearing on the show for six days, he captivated audiences enough to amass an enormous social media following.
Similarly, Canadian psychologist, author, and public speaker Jordan Peterson also gained a significant following over the years, albeit for very different reasons. While Jordan and Andrew might not seem like they would ever cross paths due to their style, perspective on the world, and age difference, they do have one thing they have in common...
Mikhaila Peterson.

Mikhaila is Jordan's uber-successful daughter. Just like her father, Mikhaila has a growing business empire with a following glued to her popular podcast. And, yes, she does have a connection to Andrew Tate. Rumors claim that Mikhaila Peterson was actually Andrew Tate's girlfriend for a time. But is there any substance to this claim?
Musician Phil Collins is an example of a celebrity who has a complicated relationship with his famous daughter. But it doesn't seem as though Jordan and Mikhaila Peterson fall into that camp.
Being raised by one of the most popular figures on the internet has sparked a lot of questions about Mikhaila and her life growing up. She's been asked plenty of times on social media and in interviews what it was like being raised by Jordan.
Growing up, Mikhaila's childhood was bombarded with chronic pain. She's talked about it on her podcast, claiming that Jordan and his omnivore-based diet has helped with problems such as inflammation and depression.
Mikhaila has grown out of her rough and painful childhood and has constructed a much better adult life. Not only is she mostly physically pain-free, but she's also built a business empire that's made her quite a fortune. She's started her own self-titled podcast show that consistently gets millions of views on platforms such as Youtube and Apple Podcasts.
Her personal business Luminate Productions is an entertainment business that produces her and her father's podcasting shows. According to the company's website, they've also played a part in other products such as the apps Essay and Aim, the Supercast podcast platform, and the Understand Myself personality assessment tool.
While fans are immensely interested in Mikhaila Peterson's family background and entrepreneurial pursuits, it seems that what they want to know the most about is her dating life. Her true fans are aware that Mikhaila was married to businessman Andrey Korikov, who she shares a daughter (Elizabeth) with.
Not long after their divorce was announced on Mikahaila's Podcast, she married Jordan Fuller at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay, California in 2022.
Mikhaila explained on her podcast that she would've separated from Korikov earlier had she not been led to believe that divorce was bad. While she differs from her father on the subject, it's clear that Jordan supports Mikhaila's new union with Fuller as he performed the ceremony himself.
While Mikhaila Peterson is a pretty big internet star herself, with a massive following of over a million subscribers on Youtube. But her social media clout pales in comparison to Tate's. Before his Youtube channel was closed down, Andrew had quite a sizable following. Per Social Blade, Andrew had a subscriber count of over 8 million followers.
With that being said, the two met each other before either of them had such huge audiences and were just rising stars.

Mikhaila talked about meeting Andrew on her podcast. She gave clarification and told the true story of what actually happened. According to Mikhaila, Andrew invited her for a night out in 2018. The two were staying in Romania at the time, a place both of them have frequented a lot over the past few years. Of course, a date in Romania means the two visited some castles together.
Mikhaila claimed that the two of them drove in some of Andrew's luxury cars. Andrew has continually showcased his car collection on social media, so it's no shock that he and Mikhaila spent some time in them.
Tate, too, has talked about the event on his social media platforms. His story mimicked Mikhaila's story, with mentions of a date night in Romania that involved castles and sports cars. He even added a cherry to the top of his story, claiming that Mikhaila is a "nice girl" with an "extremely intelligent" father.
It's confirmed that they had a date night together, but did either of them hook up? Was there ever an official relationship at all?

Andrew came out and denied hooking up with Mikhaila. Mikhaila has never confirmed or denied anything major regarding those topics, but it appears the two didn't do anything together.
Aside from that date night, the two have met up on a handful of occasions outside of that. Pictures of them smoking cigars together have been uploaded to Mikhaila's Twitter, but it's unclear if the photos were taken back in 2018.
It's clear how Andrew Tate feels about Jordan and Mikhaila Peterson. As mentioned previously, he's said on a live stream that Jordan and Mikhaila formed a friendly and smart father-daughter duo. Since then, Andrew has risen in popularity and has simultaneously been surrounded by scandal.
Given that these scandals contradict many of the messaging Jordan and Mikhaila put out, fans are curious about what they actually think of the alleged criminal.
It's unclear how Mikhaila personally feels about Andrew. When she's talked about Andrew, she's skirted around her honest opinions on him. When she answered the question of whether or not they had ever dated on her podcast, she stuck to only discussing the story of what actually happened.
The only other time Mikhaila's ever talked about Andrew publicly was during a Twitter Q&A back in 2020, and the answer to someone's question was about their dates in Romania. Nothing more, nothing less.
Jordan hasn't talked much about Tate either, although he has mused about Andrew's views on occasion when audience members ask for them. He normally ignores Andrew and the controversy that surrounds him, instead opting for focusing on Tate's philosophies and ideas.
Neither Jordan Peterson nor his daughter has directly addressed the fact that Andrew Tate was actually arrested in December 2022, nor that he continues to face some truly life-changing charges. Should he be proven guilty, Tate will no doubt go down as one of the most heinous figures in the public eye. Should he be proven innocent, Andrew Tate has publicly declared that he'll sue his accusers.
Tate's far from the only celebrity to be arrested at the height of their popularity. Robert Downey Jr. went to jail once, as well as other big names such as Bill Gates and A$AP Rocky.
