TenZ and Kyedae have officially gone their separate ways, ending a relationship that lasted nearly six years. The news surprised many Valorant fans, especially because the two had been engaged and often shared their lives online. Kyedae announced her breakup through a public statement, which showed that the couple ended their relationship through a process of careful evaluationing instead of making an impulsive decision based on anger. The couple met as teenagers and developed their relationship into adulthood while establishing their professional paths in unison. The couple developed a relationship which they eventually realized was essential for their relationship. They were no longer growing as individuals. That realization, Kyedae said, led them to choose space and personal growth over staying together just because of history. There was no cheating, no fight, and no dramatic moment. According to her, they simply grew apart. The announcement came directly from Kyedae, who also asked fans to respect their privacy during this personal time.
