Following the recent announcement regarding the relationship status of Tyson “TenZ” Ngo and Kyedae Shymko, many fans are looking for clarity on their history. The short answer is yes, the popular streaming duo were indeed engaged prior to their recent separation.
The couple officially announced their engagement to the public on August 17, 2022. For years, they were viewed as a prominent pair within the gaming and esports communities. However, on February 8, 2026, both creators confirmed that they have broken up and called off the engagement.
Timeline of the Engagement and Breakup
TenZ and Kyedae shared their engagement news across various social media platforms in 2022. The announcement was a major moment for their fanbase, cementing their status as long-term partners who had been together since their teenage years.
The engagement stood for several years until the recent update in February 2026. According to a statement posted to Kyedae’s Instagram story, which TenZ subsequently reposted, the couple has decided to part ways. The statement clarified that the breakup had actually occurred “quite some time” before they chose to make the information public.
Why Did They Split?
In her social media post, Kyedae explained the reasoning behind the decision. She stated that over time, it became clear that they needed space to grow into their own people separately.
The message emphasized that there was no specific negative incident that led to the split. Kyedae noted that there was “no wrongdoing, no resentment, and no single event that caused this”. Instead, the two simply grew apart as individuals. The statement assured fans that the separation was mutual and that they still care for one another.
Social Media Reactions
Despite the serious nature of calling off an engagement, the pair maintained a lighthearted approach on social media. Following the announcement, Kyedae returned to her original engagement post from 2022 to leave a humorous comment.
