The streaming world was completely rocked when the popular Twitch couple, Nick “Nmplol” Polom and Malena , announced separation in September 2024. It was followed by some explosive cheating allegations and the messy divorce battle that is played out in the court documents and a lot of online speculation. What began as the amicable split announcement, with time, devolved into infidelity accusations. There were also accusations about financial manipulation and the bitter battle over privacy and assets.
Nmplol and Malena's initial breakup and cheating allegations
Nick was the first who addressed the couple’s split on stream in September 2024. He framed it as a mutual decision due to different goals in life. The emotional broadcast showed him removing the couple’s pictures from the wall behind him while he continued to speak about the end of the decade-long relationship. At that time, he maintained that they were on good terms. His words, as interpreted, just stated the differences in the way they both wanted to do things and goals like that.
However, this entire narrative took a dramatic turn in early 2025 when the court documents revealed that Malena accused Nick of infidelity during the marriage. As per the filings obtained by the streamer Henry Resilient, before the documents were sealed, Malena discovered some suspicious messages and photos on Nick’s phone. The incident was described to have happened after Nick’s return from the streamer convention in Amsterdam in June 2024.
The timing proved things to be particularly controversial as Malena, at that time, was in Spain taking care of their mother, who was battling cancer. It was during the time when Nick traveled to Amsterdam, against the wishes of Malena, to attend the convention. The fans were quite quick to note the emotional weightage of the claims. Many even expressed outrage that Nick allegedly cheated while Malena dealt with the family health crisis.
Nick denied the cheating allegations on Discord. He stated, “I have never cheated and never will." He further claimed that much of the circulating information was "unequivocally false.” However, he did not specifically say which of the details were inaccurate. The court documents even revealed that the couple had been secretly married since 2015. It was a fact unknown to most of the audience.
Nmplol and Malena's divorce battle and financial disputes
Beyond cheating allegations, the divorce proceedings have exposed some significant financial disputes between the former couple. It was in January 2025 when Malena filed for divorce. Nick, however, filed the response in February 2025. By March, the fillings showed Malena to be accusing Nick of “economic and financial abuse.” She even requested the court to consider it when dividing the assets.
The court document painted Nick’s picture as a person maintaining near-exclusive control over the couple’s finances all throughout the marriage. Malena claimed that all the income she had from her YouTube editing was deposited into accounts under the name of Nick. She even claimed that before making any expenses, she needed the approval of Nick. Additionally, Nick allegedly threatened to diminish the community estate value if she did not accept his divorce terms.
Perhaps most notably, it was alleged by Malena that Nick requested her to sign the non-disclosure agreement about the separation while simultaneously making public videos about the relationship that painted her in a negative light. A tweet referred to in the court documents showed that Nick made a post stating that Malena and his mom thought he would die without her. Jokes on them as I am alive and thriving.
Fight over the sealing of court records
A motion was filed by Nick to seal the court records in April 2025. He argued that as a public figure, the disclosure of the document's content would invade the privacy of the parties. However, Malena opposed Nmplol’s motion in filing just hours before the hearing. She wrote that the request made by Nick to seal the documents was another avenue for silencing her while he continued to make content about the couple’s relationship.
However, before the hearing, an agreement was reached by the parties to temporarily seal the records for 90 days. The legal analysts speculated that the compromise likely meant that Nick's legal team anticipated losing the motion to seal documents permanently.
Discovery battle and asset division
The divorce proceedings took a dramatic turn when Malena filed the motion for compelling discovery after Nick failed to offer the requested financial documents. Her extensive discovery requests included,
Nick objected to nearly all the requests, as he called the requests overly burdensome. Legal experts noted that this is common in high-asset divorces, where one party controls most of the finances. The battle over financial transparency suggests some significant assets remain at stake, with Malena's legal team seemingly convinced that Nick is hiding or undervaluing the community property.
Community reactions, disappointments, and fallout
The streaming community has largely sided with Malena. Many expressed disappointment in the alleged behavior of Nick. The situation has been quite awkward for their mutual friends, like the streamer Nora (Noor), who found herself caught between the parties.
The fans have combed through the old streams and social media posts for clues about the deterioration of the former couple’s relationship. A poignant moment that resurfaced was when Malena sang “The Angel and the One" during the stream just before her separation. The lyrics of the song now seem to be eerily prescient— "Don't waste your time on me/You're already the voice inside my head."
Nick, on the other hand, has continued to stream regularly since the split. He has avoided addressing situations, but most allegations were beyond the initial denials. Meanwhile, Malena has been largely silent on social media since December 2024. She instead chose the court filings to speak for her.
Some key developments in the case
What next?
With the divorce still ongoing, financial audits are quite likely. As for Nmplol and Malena, while the former continues to stream (reduced hours, citing stress), the latter remains quiet publicly. Nick has also been dismissing all allegations as "drama farming."
With the court records sealed temporarily, major developments will soon come when the seal expires or if the case goes to trial. The battle, either way, appears to be far from over, with the significant issues remaining around— the valuation and division of the assets and business interests, spousal support payments, agreement or disagreement to NDA, and the actual truth behind the cheating allegations.
The entire case remains a developing situation, with financial and legal complexities tied to the former couple’s shared streaming empire. The prenup lack and the community property laws of Texas make it a high-stakes split. Also, as both parties move forward, separate, the once-celebrated relationship now stands as the messiest public breakup in the streaming industry.

Discovery battle and asset division
The divorce proceedings took a dramatic turn when Malena filed the motion for compelling discovery after Nick failed to offer the requested financial documents. Her extensive discovery requests included,
- Credit card statements and expense records.
- Banking statements and financial records from individual and joint accounts.
- Cryptocurrency holdings documents—specifically mentioning Ethereum, Bitcoin, and some other digital currencies.
- Investment records, including retirement accounts, stocks, and his interests in OTK Media and some other business ventures.
- Asset documentation held by the 3rd-parties.
Nick objected to nearly all the requests, as he called the requests overly burdensome. Legal experts noted that this is common in high-asset divorces, where one party controls most of the finances.

Meanwhile, Malena has been largely silent on social media since December 2024. She instead chose the court filings to speak for her.
Some key developments in the case
- Divorce proceedings- Malena seeks up to 50% of the assets of Nick, including his revenue from Twitch and the YouTube channels, as they are considered family businesses under the Texas divorce law. Nick, on the other hand, hinted at some financial strain because of the proceedings.
- Financial abuse allegations- it’s been claimed by Malena that Nick restricted her access to the joint accounts and lacked financial transparency. She requested $5k/month in support, house possession, a car, and legal fees.
- Amsterdam trip controversy- the court documents allege that Nick traveled to Amsterdam and might have been unfaithful. Despite Nick denying cheating, the suspicious photos/messages still continue to hold ground.
- Community reactions- while some defend Malena, arguing how she contributed to Nick’s content and brand, others criticize Nick for the financial control and some potential manipulation.
- Streamer fallout- all the ongoing drama led to moderation purges. It has divided the opinions within the streaming community. Some even believe that Malena deserves compensation for her role in building Nick's career.
