Meet Twitch Streamer Kyedae’s Sister, Sakura Shymko

It was recently announced that Kyedae and her boyfriend Tyson “TenZ” Ngo were engaged. However, they reportedly kept their engagement a secret for eight months. The power couple announced their engagement on social media, much to the delight of fans and fellow streamers.
They celebrated their third wedding anniversary with a romantic photoshoot on the beach before making the announcement. Kyedae was seen wearing an engagement ring in the photos, which she hid during her recent appearance at the CONQuest 2022 Festival.
“Happy 3rd anniversary to the love of my life,” TenZ tweeted. “It’s crazy how time flies when you’re enjoying life. BTW, we’ve been engaged for 8 months but kept it a secret until now.”
After jokingly congratulating her fiancé on Twitter, Kyedae also shared a heartfelt message of her own. “Forever with you, my love,” she said. “I couldn’t be happier to grow old with the person I love the most.”
On Instagram, Kyedae announced, “WE ARE ENGAGED!! Happy 3rd wedding anniversary. You are the light of my life. The one and only, irreplaceable. Thank you for being the best life partner I could ever ask for.”
Meanwhile, Sakura is also very close to her sister’s fiancé. In May 2021, she congratulated her future brother-in-law, “Happy 20th Birthday @TenZOfficial!!”.
In January 2022, Sakura created a TikTok in which she wrote, “never be best friends with your sister because she will leave you for some random guy named tenz.” She captioned the TikTok, “just kidding, I love my bff💗😊 @TenZ.”
