Vecna has found love, and it isn't in the Upside Down. Jamie Campbell Bower, the British actor who terrified the world as the villain in Stranger Things, has officially confirmed his relationship with lifestyle YouTuber Elena Taber.

The confirmation puts to rest months of speculation that began swirling in April 2025, when the pair were spotted looking cozy on the streets of London. The romance was cemented in the public eye in June 2025, when they went "Instagram official" during the Download Music Festival, a fitting backdrop for the rock-and-roll inclined actor.

Worlds Collide

The pairing represents a crossover between Hollywood grit and digital glamour. Bower, 37, is a veteran of major franchises including Harry Potter, Twilight, and The Mortal Instruments. His love life has historically been high-profile, with previous relationships including actress Lily Collins and an engagement to Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley).

Elena Taber, conversely, is a digital native. A New York-based content creator with over 800,000 subscribers, she built her brand on travel, fashion, and "sustainable living."

• The Timeline: Rumors sparked in April 2025; confirmed in June 2025; spending holidays together in December 2025.
• The Dynamic: Sources close to the couple describe them as "inseparable," with Taber spending increasing amounts of time in the UK.

"They seem happier than ever," noted a report from Cosmopolitan. For fans of Bower, accustomed to seeing him covered in prosthetics or brooding in gothic attire, the sight of him Christmas tree shopping with Taber offers a wholesome, if slightly jarring, contrast. It seems that for now, the only spell Bower is under is one of romance.
