In a joint announcement that has resonated across the gaming and streaming communities, popular content creator Kyedae Shymko and esports superstar Tyson “TenZ” Ngo have confirmed the end of their six-year relationship. The breakup was revealed in a post on Kyedae’s X account, putting an end to weeks of speculation from fans.
In her statement, Kyedae shared that the couple had actually been separated “for quite some time.” She explained that towards the end of their relationship, they realized they had “stopped growing as individuals.” The pair, who got together at age 17 and moved in together shortly after meeting, found that doing everything together—from work to hobbies—ultimately limited their personal development.
“There was no wrongdoing, no resentment, and no single event,” Kyedae clarified, emphasizing that the split was a mutual and amicable decision born from a need for individual space and growth.
The announcement follows weeks of fan speculation, which began when the formerly engaged couple removed photos of each other from their social media accounts and were seen publicly without their engagement rings.
Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Kyedae expressed gratitude for their time together. The couple, who were one of the most recognizable pairs in the gaming world, plan to move forward separately while maintaining a respectful connection.
TenZ, a former professional VALORANT player for Sentinels and one of the most iconic figures in the esport, and Kyedae, a successful Twitch streamer and content creator, built a significant shared fanbase during their relationship. Their breakup marks the end of an era for many followers but underscores a mature and introspective reason for parting ways.
