The Tumblr girlies all want to know whether the guy who plays Vecna in Stranger Things (aka Jamie Campbell Bower) has a girlfriend. We have some answers about his relationship status (although, you might not like them).
Wait, why is the internet crushing on Vecna?
The actor who portrayed Vecna in both season four and season five of Stranger Things is called Jamie Campbell Bower. Yes, the same actor plays the character both before and after Eleven yeeted him into Dimension X. He looks rather different when he’s not playing a tentacled murderous monster from an alternate dimension.
During the 2010s, Jamie Campbell Bower managed to land minor roles in just about every young adult fantasy franchise. He popped up in three Twilight films as the Volturi vampire Caius. He also featured briefly as a young Grindelwald in flashbacks during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part I and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Jamie Campbell Bower also played the leading guy Jace in the ill-fated the Mortal Instruments: City of Bones film. The 2010s Tumblr girlies were all rather pleased when he made a comeback in Stranger Things.

While filming for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part I, he met Bonnie Wright (who played Ginny). They actually got engaged in 2011, after less than a year of dating. The couple split in 2012.
He then moved onto Lily Collins, who played his girlfriend/stepsister Clary in the Mortal Instruments movie. They broke up and got back together several times between 2012 and 2018.
