Lena the Plug and Adam22 are going their separate ways.

On June 1, the 35-year-old adult film star — whose legal name is Lena Nersesian — filed for divorce from her husband, 42, according to court docs obtained by PEOPLE. Nersesian requested legal and physical custody of their 5-year-old daughter, per the docs, she listed their date of separation as April 15 and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce.

TMZ was first to report the filing.

Nersesian’s estranged husband, whose legal name is Adam Grandmaison, appeared to address their separation with a series of posts to his Instagram Stories on June 3, including several screenshots of news reports covering and commenting on the divorce filing and a photo of the ceiling with the overlaid text “FREEDOM.”

Neither Nersesian nor Grandmaison responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Nersesian is seeking spousal support from Grandmaison and to finance divorce mediation, claiming in the filing, “I have no access to any financial resources in this marriage or actual financial information.”

The pair of content creators — who wed in Tuscany, Italy, in May 2023 — are known online for filming adult content with other creators in addition to their active social media profiles. The pair also cohosted the podcast Plug Talk, where they hosted interviews with other adult film stars. (Despite Nersesian’s divorce filing, the podcast released videos to its YouTube channel on June 2 and 3.)

Since 2018, while Grandmaison ran the popular hip-hop media platform No Jumper, he has faced a series of allegations of sexual misconduct from multiple women.

In 2018, two women alleged to Pitchfork that Grandmaison had sexually assaulted them. (Though he did not comment to the outlet about the allegations, he had made a statement on X days before claiming he had “never raped or hit a woman.”) In 2023, Rolling Stone published accounts from multiple women who claimed that Grandmaison had pressured them to have sex with him, which he denies.
