Nick “Nmplol” Polom went live to read through the finalized court ruling from his divorce with Malena Tudi, walking viewers through how the judge divided their assets.

According to Polom’s reading, the marital estate was split largely 50/50. Most categories landed on an even division, with Starforge-related assets going slightly in Malena’s favor at roughly 55/45.

NMP said the full process cost him around $400,000 in lawyer fees, a number that stood out given his claim that he had offered a 50/50 split from the very beginning. Malena reportedly pushed for a 60/40 division in her favor, which the court didn’t grant.

A request for $5,000 per month in spousal support over five years, totaling $300,000, was reportedly denied by the court. That had been one of the bigger sticking points during the proceedings.

NMP stayed unusually serious throughout the reading. He hinted at personal drama tied to the case but said he wouldn’t be getting into it, sticking strictly to the legal outcome.

Business assets and a Pokémon collection

The division covered the messy stuff that comes with being a creator couple. OTK shares stayed tied to Nick, while Starforge equity was the one category where Malena ended up with the larger slice.

Valuation appears to have been the real fight. NMP and Malena reportedly disagreed wildly on what the estate was actually worth, with the gap between their figures running into the millions. A 50/50 split sounds simple until both sides argue over what 100% looks like.

Personal property was also addressed, including an Escalade that went to Malena and a Pokémon card collection that the court ordered split evenly. NMP pushed back on chatter about one specific Charizard card, saying it was a fake PSA 10 sent in by a viewer and not the six-figure piece some people assumed.

NMP and Malena were one of Twitch’s most recognizable creator couples for years, with Malena appearing in much of his IRL and variety content. Their intertwined brand is part of why the asset split got so complicated, since the line between personal life and business was basically nonexistent on stream.
