For Tommy, their relationship made her feel valued in a crucial way, with her telling Vogue that she “fell in love with someone who doesn’t fetishize” her.
Tommy also shared her pride in celebrating their love story.
“We do see the benefit of celebrating our love with the world,” she said, “and, frankly, the importance of people seeing trans and queer love en vogue.”
Despite their fast-paced romance, a December 2024 Instagram post from Tommy hinted at their split just seven months after the Vogue article was published.
In the caption, which accompanied a series of photos that Elise was noticeably absent from, Tommy wrote, “heartbreak feels good in a place like this.”
