They began dating in 2019 but made their relationship public in March 2021.

However, their love story ended in August 2021 during a livestream of Apex Legends. Their breakup remains shrouded in mystery, causing disappointment among their fans. xQc later revealed that the rift between them was due to issues between Adept and his brother, ultimately leading him to prioritize his family over the relationship.
