MTV VMAs, Alex Warren Kisses Wife, Kouvr And Makes A Shocking Confession After Best New Artist Win

Singer and YouTuber, Alex Warren won the award for Best New Artist at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). He won the prestigious title for his viral song, Ordinary. The victory follows the release of his debut studio album, You'll Be Alright, Kid, which came out in July 2025. The 24-year-old rose to prominence as a co-founder of the TikTok collective, Hype House, and has now become one of Gen Z's favourite singers. On September 7, 2025, he received his first VMAs and contributed some of the show's most memorable content.

Alex Warren's viral reaction to his VMAs win

Alex Warren was genuinely shocked when he was presented with the VMAs for Best New Artist. On the red carpet of the show, he gave a humorous and unfiltered acceptance speech to pre-show host, Nessa. In a viral moment, he mentioned how he was in disbelief and genuinely thought that his fellow Best New Artist nominee and Caroline singer, Sombr, would be taking home the title instead of him. However, he was grateful for the honour and said:

"I truly did not [think I would win]. Thank you so much. What the?! I was totally ready for Sombr to be here."

Alex Warren's shocking confession after his VMAs win

Alex's shocking reaction to his VMAs win had more to it. The most hilarious part of his acceptance speech included a TMI (too much information) that he shared about his personal habits. When he was unable to process the event and didn't know how to react, he resorted to talking about pooping. He hilariously revealed that he pooped twice that day (maybe because he was nervous) and might need to go one more time. His candid remark stood out as a memorable moment in contrast to the more polished celebrity reactions at the event. He said:

"I don't even know what to say to you right now. I pooped twice today; I might go for a third. I'm about to cry."

Alex Warren kissed his wife on the VMAs red carpet

Besides the pooping comment, Alex Warren was responsible for another unforgettable moment of the 2025 VMAs. He shared a kiss with his wife, Kouvr Annon, at the award show, creating a tender scene for the VMA attendees to witness. The couple was photographed on the red carpet, and the images were shared by the official social media handle of the VMAs with the caption, "See a #VMAs smooch, share a #VMAs smooch - that's the rule! @alexwarren + @kouvr."

Kouvr also shared photos from the star-studded evening, mentioning how proud she was of her husband, Alex. In her latest Instagram post, the couple can be seen twinning in black, with Alex holding the VMA trophy in his hand and her looking fondly at him. She also shared a photo of his wide-mouthed reaction to the award win and captioned the carousel as, "Brb changing his contact from hubby to best new artist."

Alex Warren and Kouvr Annon's love story

Alex Warren and Kouvr Annon's love story began with a Snapchat message and blossomed into a relationship that endured homelessness. Four months after they started talking, Kouvr left her family in Hawaii to move to California to be with Alex, who was homeless and living out of his car at the time. They then together became founders and members of the Hype House, a content creation hub of TikTok and YouTube personalities. However, they eventually left the group in 2022 for Alex's music career. Alex proposed to Kouvr on New Year's Eve in 2022, and they got married in Escondido, California, on June 22, 2024.
