the whole living situation is genuinely so so confusing? she said everything is changing, hinted a million x 10 she was going to move to london. she can't even move there for visa reasons for more than half a year. Jamie has an apartment in london there why wouldn't she just move in with him anyways? that part is weird so either he didn't want her to move in with her when she wanted to or she didn't want to but she is obsessed with him so ? then she is in nyc in a studio apartment saying she cant afford stuff-i personally think they are uncoupling as we speak-but jamie can live in america im assuming for a long period of time so as a couple wouldnt he just get the apartment and then they live together in nyc? or they would have been doing long distance. doesnt even add up when u factor them traveling so much cause they have to have a home base somewhere anyways. Makes negative sense to me.
She made a vlog called "new beginnings in london" (or something like that I watched maybe 2 minutes).
Then after that she went right back to NYC. Then she hasn't been back to London since then (I think we'd know cause she'd have made a big deal out of it).
Then she was complaining, a lot, online about having no permanent place to live or a lease or whatever. To me it seemed like she was trying so hard to get Jamie to let her move in with him.
However, I think what may have killed it is the two TikToks she did that were clearly inside his flat. It was obviously his place. I'm guessing she didn't at all have permission to do it and Jamie is way more private than she is so he probably was like "No, never again" on that end. Even in her "new beginnings in london" vlog she wasn't in his apartment she was clearly somewhere else that she rented or was just staying at.
She was 100% trying to make people think she was living with him (or about to) and probably at the same time trying to move in with him and pressure him to let that happen but I think he realized she would be a major security flaw and he couldn't allow that to happen. He probably hasn't even let her in his flat since that point.
In January she did make that post asking about a bed with storage for a studio in NYC it was around/after the Ski trip (the date on the post). He did seem to hang around her some times after that. For some reason she was at Millie's party but I don't know how/why. Did she just show up there and no one told her to leave? Like WTF was that? After that point we haven't really gotten pics of him that we can tell are recent/new. They could be old. One was him from behind at that piano in god knows what location. One was the Gym photo but God knows when that was taken. And then in a somewhat recent Tiktok his back is to her as she films him going into a Cafe (who knows if he even knew she filmed that).
Then the Reddit thing happens around the same time. Jamie COULD defend her if he wanted to, he COULD help her if he wanted to. Doesn't seem like he wants either. My best guess was this relationship was dead before the Reddit post even happened and maybe he was still seeing her sometimes but it wasn't like romantic. Also if she really is living in a studio apartment she's probably too broke to travel anymore unless her parents (or Jamie) is going to pay for it but I think that's unlikely after all of this.
I think (my best guess and this is just an opinion not a fact) that she's either broke, close to broke, or seriously in debt. That she's run out of options, she can't fly around freely, she can't follow him everywhere, she is spending what little she does have to rent filming locations for social media (and only in NYC) and she actually lives in a studio which she can probably barely afford since even the "cheapest" ones in Brooklyn (where she claims to be located) are like 3-3500K a month.
She doesn't get near enough sponsors or views or whatever to make that to afford it. She probably spent her life savings and thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to go into debt to follow Jamie around thinking it would be her big break and it wasn't. I think that Reddit post was desperation for...something, but if she didn't even feel like she could talk to Jamie about her problems they can't be close.
If I had to guess we are not only looking at a breakup but the end of a career. I mean her "friend" (Ex-friend) Brooke has less followers than her on IG and on TikTok but gets so many more brand deals, lives in a much nicer place, has that podcast, seems to do real work. Make a ton of money. It makes me wonder just how much Elena has artificially inflated her followers, likes, and views because if her friend has less than her but is more successful and making more money something isn't adding up.
