If you’re like us, you may have found yourself uncomfortably attracted to Vecna, aka Henry Creel, in Stranger Things, and wondering, “Who is this actor?” and “Does he wear the costume in his spare time?”
Don’t worry, that’s okay! (actually maybe it’s not- ask your therapist). The good news is that the actor who plays Vecna, Jamie Campbell Bower is even more attractive without all of the veins and goo.
However, the bad news is- he has a girlfriend… and worse again, she’s great.
Who is Jamie Campbell Bower’s girlfriend?
The 37-year-old actor has been dating YouTuber Elena Taber, 29, for almost a year.
The news was first leaked in April 2025 when DeuxMoi released pictures of Jamie and Elena together- prompting rumours that he’d broken things off with agent Jess Maloney.
In June 2025, the pair took the modern-day equivalent to a couple putting a down payment on a house in the 60s… they went Instagram official on his grid with some pics from Download music festival.
Not only were they seen galivanting around together all summer at events like Wimbledon, Elena made it clear that they are locked in by calling him her “boyfriend” on Instagram Stories.
After attending many Stranger Things premieres together, Jamie and Elena also went Christmas tree shopping in December. How much more serious can it get really?
Who is Elena Taber?
Elena Taber is a digital content creator with an impressive following across her YouTube channel and Instagram.
The 29-year-old primarily features travel and fashion content, as well as the odd picture of herself and Jamie all loved-up. Adorable!
Elena has a following of 307k on Instagram and 859k on YouTube… it may not be as many followers as Stranger Things, but it’s a seriously impressive number.
Who are Jamie Campbell Bower’s exes?
Jamie has a history of famous exes including fellow Harry Potter actor Bonnie Wright, who played Ginny Weasley, and Emily in Paris star, Lily Collins.
Bonnie Wright
Bonnie and Jamie reportedly grew close while filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (he played a young Gellert Grindelwald); however, they didn’t confirm a romantic relationship until 2010 when they appeared at the BAFTAs together.
In April 2011, the actor revealed that the pair were engaged. Speaking to The Daily, he said that he was “very happy,” but didn’t divulge any further details.
Unfortunately, things didn’t work out for the pair and they called it quits in 2012.
An insider told Us Weekly at the time that it was “amicable” but that things had “not been right for quite some time.”
Lily Collins
After his relationship with Bonnie ended, the actor began dating his co-star Lily Collins, whom he met in 2012.
The pair met while filming The Mortals Instruments: City of Bones.
The couple went official with their relationship that same year, but later announced their split in July 2013.
However, fans were surprised when Lily posted a loved-up snap of the pair in May 2015.
The on-again, off-again couple eventually split for good in 2018.
Jess Moloney
According to Page Six, Jamie began dating creative agent Jess Moloney in 2022.
The former couple made their red caroet debut in May 2022 at the Stranger Things 4 premiere, with them later being snapped kissing on a Malibu beach.
However, their relationship ended in 2024 and Jamie was linked to current girlfriend Elena shortly after.
