The 27-year-old Twitch streamer Adept lived with Félix “xQc” Lengyel, the biggest Twitch streamer in the world, for several months. The couple went through a tough phase: stalkers followed them and forced them to move. In a stream, Adept appeared distraught and spoke about how the last months were the worst of her life.
This is Adept:
- The 27-year-old streams on Twitch under the name “adeptthebest.” She has about 460,000 followers. When she streams, around 1,500 people watch her.
- Adept is known for her streams in GTA 5 Online, where she engages in role-playing. Because she plays as a police officer there, she sometimes has clashes with rowdy Twitch streamers, like her boyfriend.
- A larger audience knows her as the girlfriend and roommate of xQc. The two kept their relationship a secret for a long time, then xQc cuddled her on camera, and they appeared publicly as a couple. They had separated for a while, but there have been unconfirmed rumors for weeks that they have found their way back to each other.
Stalkers force Twitch couple to keep moving
These are the negative aspects of life: From the outside, it has been noticed that the streamer “xQc” has moved more frequently in recent months. Apparently, xQc’s address circulated online, and mentally unstable people broke into his house.
It was reported that an intruder had entered his house with a crowbar and yelled at him. xQc moved in with a colleague, but even there he did not feel safe, feeling like he was putting everyone around him at risk. After that, he left the USA and returned to his home in Canada.
xQc said at the time: Although he is a millionaire, he has to move every two weeks. He can’t even return to his house because it’s not safe there.
“The worst months of our lives”
In streams, xQc and Adept rarely talk about these negative aspects of fame on Twitch, but usually put on a brave face. However, it was clear that they suffered in recent months from stalking and constant intrusions into their privacy.
This is what Adept says about the last months: Adept recently elaborated in a Twitch stream how hard the last months “on the run” have been for her:
They were the worst months of our lives, especially for me.

She says she was stressed and so unhappy. She constantly feared what could go wrong. She felt like something went wrong every day.
By now, the situation has probably calmed down. On a trip, she was able to attend a Twitch event with other streamers and felt safe there for the first time in a long while.
Nevertheless, they want to continue doing what they love. Many of the negative aspects of life as a streamer are kept secret from viewers. They do not want to give negativity so much space.
Again and again, there are cases where mentally unstable viewers approach Twitch streamers in a completely inappropriate way, which is alarming. This difficulty in dealing with viewers who invade their intimacy and private lives burdens many content creators:

But for a while, she had looked around every few seconds to see if someone was following her.

Does she want to quit streaming? No. Adept says on Twitch that she cannot imagine another life for herself and for xQc.
But the “lifestyle” as a streamer also comes with some negative sides and pressures, especially for xQc. She says he receives so much criticism, and his privacy is constantly violated.
