"We have ran into some issues and at this time, we have decided to put our relationship on ice for a period of time," he said.
Adam22 and Lena the Plug welcomed a daughter, Parker, in November 2020.
The YouTuber, whose real name is Adam John Grandmaison, left the door open for a possible reconciliation.
"Will we end up back together? There is certainly a possibility," Adam22 said.

Adam22 Opens Up About Their Relationship
Adam22 opened up about his relationship and discussed his separation from Lena the Plug on his 'No Jumper' podcast.
Adam22 reflected on the changes they faced in their relationship after becoming parents.
"Over the last couple of years, in particular, since we had our child, that, I think my extremely one-sided lifestyle of doing podcasts all day every day and not really making myself a terribly active participant in the family life is probably like the biggest factor," he said.
He also recalled a conversation with Lena the Plug that stayed with him.
"At one point, she said, 'You know, you feel like your responsibility in this relationship is to go to work and come back,' and I couldn’t even say anything," Adam22 added.
The podcaster further acknowledged that he needed to approach his life differently.
"But we’ve been together for 10, 11 years. I felt like I was doing enough because I wasn’t cheating, doing drinks, drinking," he concluded.

Lena the Plug Previously Addressed Divorce Filing
Lena the Plug earlier spoke publicly about the divorce filing that surfaced earlier this summer.
The separation announcement came months after divorce paperwork involving Lena the Plug surfaced.
In June, reports claimed she had filed for divorce from Adam22 on her 35th birthday.
The documents reportedly sought custody of their daughter and a division of roughly $730,000 in assets.
She addressed the situation in a social media video shared on X in July.
"Last month, I went to check my mail and I had all of this rejected paperwork from a courthouse. Somebody has been trying to file for divorce on my behalf," she said.
"[Someone] has all this information and they attached a check for $435. I look at the name of the check and I start to freak out a little bit because I remember the name," she added.
"The name of the check matches the name that police gave me when they arrived at my house two different times doing a wellness check [when] somebody called and claimed I was being abused by my husband," Lena the Plug continued.
Adam22 and Lena the Plug were together for nearly a decade before announcing their separation.
At the time, Lena the Plug maintained that she was not seeking to end the marriage.
"I’m not divorcing at all. I love my husband. We’ve been together for 10 years. I know that all of you are plotting on our downfall but it’s not happening," she said.
"That day has not come. I found out I was getting divorced when you guys found out I was getting divorced. This is such a weird situation. Honestly, if it didn’t happen to me, I wouldn’t believe it," she concluded.
