The xQc and Adept common law marriage drama: Tracing all the big events in the case

The first major incident that alerted the public to an ongoing legal battle between the two happened earlier this year, when Lopez came to Felix's house while he was streaming.

The camera caught some crucial bits of their conversation before the stream ended abruptly, and the two could be heard arguing about an apparent restraining order from a court. The incident occurred on January 7.

The clip, which currently has over 250K views on Twitch alone, naturally piqued the interest of many. In it, Adept can be heard telling her ex that he had allegedly violated a court order:

"You are violating court orders!"

Fans were baffled when xQc returned and stopped the stream without an explanation. A few days later, a viral tweet claimed to have found public court filings that alleged the two streamers were getting a divorce.

Under the "Events and Orders of the Court" section in the picture from the tweet, there are mentions of court orders, which might be the ones from the streamers' conversations.

The topic of xQc and Adept's supposed marriage is quite contentious. A large section of the streaming community has sided with the former, much bigger streamer and believes that they were not married and that Samantha is trying to claim otherwise. Readers should note that the case pertains to the Texas Common Law marriage, under which two people can be married without any legal paperwork.

In any case, xQc has claimed time and time again that he is not married and has refused to explain or discuss the details of the case with his audience, probably due to legal proceedings which cannot be divulged before the trial is over. He stated:

"I am not married, I was never married, okay? Everyone that has been watching me stream for six years know my exact mindset about this."

A more recent revelation has come where court filings have been interpreted by YouTuber and legal Twitch streamer Henry Resilient as a victory for xQc, as most restrictions requested by Adept's legal team have been denied by the Judge.

However, fans will need to wait till March 19, 2023, for the actual hearing to happen before drawing any conclusions in the case.
