Ludwig Ahgren and Blaire "QTCinderella" are amongst the most recognized figures in the live-streaming community. Their relationship has been a subject of interest for many fans, with how dynamic they can be. This coupled with the fact that they often stream together, has led to a sort of parasocial relationship forming between fans and the streamers.
The two have been officially together since April 2020, about a year after their first interaction online in 2019, which ignited the rumors of their relationship. Ludwig reminisces about his first time meeting QT in a 2021 YouTube video titled "My First Time Kissing QTCinderella", a video in which he goes through the initial stages of their relationship.
Fans, always eager to play detective, noticed the increasing frequency of their collaborations and the undeniable chemistry they shared. In this article, we will look back at the couple's relationship timeline, from how they first interacted with each other to where they are today.
Ludwig and QTCinderella's initial interactions and their first stream together
QTCinderella currently has over one million followers on Twitch. During her early days streaming in 2019, she would deploy a certain tactic, wherein she would enter the chatboxes of the most popular male "Just Chatting" streamers at the time and ask them if they'd want to date her. One of the first people she did this to was Ludwig, a popular gaming, speedrunning and Just Chatting streamer.
This initial interaction sparked something between the two and they went on an "e-date" soon after on QT's stream.
The streamer recounted the humourous incident with fellow streamer, Valkyrae, while the two were cooking together on stream.
Later on, the couple first met in person in Los Angeles in June 2019, which was documented on QTCinderella's Twitch as an IRL stream. Highlights of their interaction were later uploaded onto her YouTube channel in a video titled "Meeting Ludwig For The First Time".
As their relationship bloomed and they went public in 2020, the duo would start to stream more together, working on projects, and producing content for millions of fans to enjoy.
One particular highlight would be Ludwig's appearances on QT's cooking streams. The two have a great dynamic here, mainly because QT is an experienced cook, having had a career baking wedding cakes, whereas Ludwig is, put lightly, not very well-versed in the culinary arts. This, coupled with his chaotic nature, makes for great content.
Fast forwarding to 2021, Ludwig did his first-ever 30-day subathon, wherein the 29-year-old streamed for a month straight. This event set multiple astounding records and milestones, making it a historic event in the streaming industry. It broke the previous record for the longest livestream on Twitch and further surpassed Tyler "Ninja" Blevins' previous record with over 283,000 active members.
He became the streamer with the most subscriptions in a single run. In addition to becoming one of the highest-grossing streams on Twitch ever, the subathon brought in millions in revenue and made Ludwig the most-watched broadcaster in April 2021.
QTCinderella was there for Ludwig this entire time. She frequently showed up on the stream, helped with logistics, offered spiritual support, and even took over the stream whenever he needed a break. This situation perfectly depicts the depth of their bond.
Navigating through the streaming world and future prospects
Since a good part of their relationship has been broadcasted online, the couple has been subject to trolls, some controversy, and demeaning comments at times. But for the most part, Ludwig and QTCinderella have a good rapport with their audiences, with some fan-made compilation videos having multiple millions of views.
As of 2024, Ludwig and QTCinderella are still well-known figures in the streaming community, both separately and together. Over time, their bond has gotten stronger, and their followers still adore them for their sincere connection and engaging material.
Their audience is excitedly awaiting what's next for them since they have made references to potential projects and collaborations, with Ludwig's Streamer Games being one.
