Adam22 admits he wasn't actively participating in the family life.

Adam22 and Lena The Plug are no longer together. The podcast host confirmed the news on the NoJumper show. “My wife & I, Lena The Plug, are officially separated,” he said. “We have ran into some issues, and at this time, we’ve decided to put our relationship on ice for a period of time.”

Adam explained that he’s not sure whether this is permanent, stating that it’s a possibility that they could end up back together. However, he added that they are still married. He explained how his dedication to his professional life contributed to this decision, especially after having a kid.

“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. “We had a child, and then she kind of just took on like all of the responsibilities of being the parent,” he added, explaining that Lena would basically be handling everything in the house, from choosing their child’s school and clothes to hiring contractors to fix things in the house.

“She said something kind of cutting to me. At one point, she said, ‘You know, you feel like your responsibility in this relationship is to go to work and come back,’ and I couldn’t even say anything,” he added.

Adam then shared a statement on X. “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. We will continue to shoot adult content together for the time being. Thank you for your respect for our privacy during this difficult time,” he said. 

No word from Lena The Plug yet, but yesterday, she shared a post on her Story about the infamous Olympic breakdancer Raygun and her husband. The caption read, “I hope I find someone who loves me as delusionally as Raygun’s husband loves her.” 

The announcement comes weeks after Lena The Plug's controversial appearance on Drake's 20 v. 1 where she threw her wedding ring, and months after she claimed someone fraudulently filed for divorce on her behalf.
