During a live stream in the beginning of March 2021, Rachel “Valkyrie” Hofstetter revealed the reasons why she had to split with her long-term boyfriend Michael “sonic” Sherman.
Valkyrie had previously been talking about an “abusive” ex-boyfriend of hers that she previously had. One of her fans assumed that she was speaking about Michael “Sonii” Sherman.
This brought forth a detailed response by Valkyrie, as she quickly explained Sonii was not the ex-boyfriend who had been abusive to her. Instead, she revealed that she is still in “love” with him, and explained multiple reasons why the pair had to split up in January 2021.https://www.youtube.com/embed/d8g3yO_7naY

During the live stream, Valkyrie was playing Valorant when one of her viewers talked about Michael Sherman.

Valkyrae and Michael ended up splitting earlier this year after a four-year relationship. She rued the fact that people and her audience tend to assume that she is talking about Sonii whenever she mentions an ex-boyfriend. She defended her fellow content creators and explained why they had to break up.
Valkyrae has had an eventful last few months. She left Twitch, joined YouTube in January 2020, and also left the 100 Thieves house. The streamer is still a part of the organization, and recently revealed plans to “live on her own.” Valkyrae revealed back in March that she had been struggling with her breakup and recent career decisions.
Apart from leaving Twitch, the streamer left the 100 Thieves content creation house, and was also dealing with a difficult break-up. She revealed news about the break up during a live stream on 2 March, 2021.
Now, as can be seen in the video above, Valkyrae has now revealed the reasons why she had to split up with Sonii. The pair had different career-paths, while Valkyrae sometimes simply did not have the time.
Towards the end, the streamer explained that she has always been a “workaholic,” and struggles to balance her private life with her work. Valkyrae currently has 3.33 million subscribers on YouTube and regularly posts videos related to the game “Among Us.”
