Nick “Nmplol” Polom has finally spoken openly about the end of his marriage to Malena Tudi, confirming that the divorce is legally done and dusted.
Speaking on a recent podcast appearance, the OTK co-founder was asked by a friend how he was feeling now that this chapter of his life had closed. His answer quickly pivoted to addressing the wave of online commentary that’s followed the split.

Nmplol indicated the settlement landed on an even 50/50 split, which he says matches what he originally offered early in the process. The exact dollar amounts were not disclosed, and the financial terms of the agreement remain private.
Rather than taking shots at his ex-wife, Nmplol used a chunk of his time to push back against viewers piling on Malena in YouTube comment sections. He asked people to ease up on her and acknowledged that she played a major role in the content and brand that defined years of his career.
He stopped short of painting the divorce as a clean good-versus-bad story. According to Nmplol, the legal back and forth was messy, but he doesn’t want Malena treated as a villain by his audience.
A creator-couple era ends
Nmplol and Malena were one of the most recognizable couples on Twitch during the streaming boom. Their cooking streams, Q&A segments, and banter-heavy IRL content built a loyal audience that tuned in for the domestic chaos as much as the gameplay.
Malena, a Norwegian creator, has largely stepped away from streaming and hasn’t publicly responded to the divorce outcome. That leaves Nmplol’s framing as the main public version of events for now.
