Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man were, contrary to popular belief, never married (hence the “Ms.”). Instead, the couple lived as common-law man and wife for years inside an apartment made of hollow neon-lit walls, subsisting only on pellets and their love. Things took a turn for the worse after the birth of their child, however, when a Pacternity test failed to conclusively prove that Pac-Man was the father. The relationship dissolved soon after and Ms. Pac-Man dropped out of the public eye for good. The last rumors of her whereabouts placed her on a remote tropical island owned by former arcade magnate Q*Bert, to whom she’d been romantically linked for years. Complicating matters for videogame historians: subsequent paramours of Pac-Man have adopted the “Ms. Pac-Man” moniker for themselves.
