Valorant stars TenZ and Kyedae confirmed their breakup through a public statement shared by Kyedae on social media. The couple had been together for approximately seven years and were engaged.
The announcement appears to frame the split as mutual and amicable. Based on the language used, the separation centers on the two growing apart rather than any dramatic falling out.
TenZ, whose real name is Tyson Ngo, rose to prominence as one of Valorant‘s most recognizable professional players before transitioning heavily into content creation. Kyedae Shymko built a massive streaming presence in the Valorant community and became known as one of the scene’s top creators.
Their relationship was highly public throughout their time together. The couple frequently appeared in each other’s content and were seen as one of the most stable partnerships in the streaming world. They announced their engagement in 2022, which made headlines across gaming media.
Kyedae faced a serious health challenge in 2023 when she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. She took time away from streaming for treatment, while TenZ stepped back from competition to support her. She later announced she was cancer-free and returned to content creation.
The breakup statement has been viewed millions of times since being posted. Fans expressed surprise given the couple’s long history and public commitment to each other.
