Adam22 and Lena the Plug have officially separated following months of unusual drama surrounding their marriage and a disputed divorce filing. Adam, whose real name is Adam Grandmaison, confirmed the news during Monday’s episode of his “No Jumper” podcast. The 42 year old YouTuber explained that he and Lena, 35, have been facing problems in their relationship and decided to take a break.
“I would like to formally announce that my wife and I are officially separated,” Adam said. He explained that the couple “have ran into some issues” and decided to put their “relationship on ice” for now. However, Adam made it clear that he has not completely ruled out the possibility of them getting back together. “Will we end up back together? It’s certainly a possibility,” he said.
Adam and Lena started dating in 2016 and married in May 2023. They welcomed their daughter Parker, now 5, in 2020. According to Adam, becoming parents changed their relationship, and he believes his lifestyle played an important role in the problems they eventually faced.
“Over the last couple of years, in particular, since we had our child, that, I think my extremely one-sided lifestyle of doing podcasts all day every day and not really making myself a terribly active participant in the family life is probably like the biggest factor,” he said.
Adam admitted that Lena ended up taking on most of the responsibilities at home and as a parent. “We had a child, and then she kind of just took on like all of the responsibilities of being the parent.”
He recalled Lena telling him, “You know, you feel like your responsibility in this relationship is to go to work and come back,” a comment he described as “cutting.” Adam said he has now “realized” that he needs “more balance” in his life if the couple “are ever” going to rebuild their relationship.
“But we’ve been together for 10, 11 years. I felt like I was doing enough because I wasn’t cheating, doing drinks, drinking,” he said.
Adam also confirmed the separation on X, writing, “Lena and I have officially separated. I hope we are able to work it out but for the time being we are taking a break.”
He added that the two “will continue to shoot adult content together for the time being” and asked people to respect their privacy.
The couple’s relationship had already attracted attention in June after Lena claimed that someone had filed divorce documents using her name. The filing reportedly sought primary custody of their daughter and listed April 15 as their separation date.
Lena later said the documents were connected to a “crazy psycho stalker fan” and claimed she had been receiving rejected paperwork for months. She also said she filed a police report over the alleged identity fraud.
In July, Adam was reportedly served divorce papers at their Studio City, California, home by the person Lena said was impersonating her. Lena maintained that the filing was not made by her and described it as “the work of the crazed fan.”
The following month, Lena filed to dismiss the dissolution of marriage in Los Angeles Superior Court. Despite the earlier divorce filing being disputed, Adam has now confirmed that the couple are officially separated.
