Lena the Plug Calls It Quits on Her 35th Birthday

There’s a certain kind of poetic timing to ending a three-year marriage on your birthday. OnlyFans creator Lena Nersesian, known professionally as Lena the Plug, filed for divorce from Adam22 on Monday, June 1—the same day she turned 35. The split marks the end of a partnership that drew constant attention, not just for their controversial content, but for the way they managed a relationship built on a foundation most couples would find unthinkable.

Nersesian and YouTuber Adam John Grandmaison, 42, had become fixtures in the adult content space since 2017, when they began creating and distributing films through OnlyFans. They tied the knot in May 2023 during a ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, but according to the newly filed documents, their separation occurred on April 15. In her filings, Nersesian has requested legal and physical custody of their 5-year-old daughter. She’s also seeking half of a $1.1 million entertainment studio the couple owns together.

What makes this divorce particularly striking is the financial reality Nersesian outlined in court documents. She claims to have no job outside of her marriage and lists her only income as $3,000 monthly in spousal support from her now-ex.“I have no access to any financial resources in this marriage or actual financial information, so all amounts entered are estimates,”she reportedly stated in the docs. It’s a stark contrast to the public-facing empire the couple has built together, hosting their Plug Talk podcast where they interview adult performers and promote their OnlyFans presence across social media.

Adam22 responded to the news with a single word via Instagram Stories:“Freedom.”The irony isn’t lost—a relationship predicated on complete transparency and explicit shared experiences apparently couldn’t survive the long term. During a VladTV interview last year, Adam22 had emphasized that he’d never watched Nersesian be intimate with another man without being involved, underscoring just how intertwined their professional and personal lives had become.

But perhaps the most telling moment comes from Nersesian’s own birthday post, shared just hours before or around the same time as the divorce filing.“A few years ago, I was terrified of turning 30,”she wrote.“I thought getting older meant something was ending. Instead, it’s been the opposite. I’ve learned more about myself, built a life I’m proud of, and found a level of contentment I didn’t know was possible.”Whether that contentment includes her current marital status or points to what comes next remains to be seen. What’s certain is that her 35th birthday will be remembered for far more than cake and celebrations.
