The Sly Way Brie Larson Confirmed Her Split From Elijah Allan-Blitz

Brie Larson and Elijah Allan-Blitz’s quiet, four-year romance ended as unceremoniously as it began. In the April 2023 issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Larson slyly confirmed fan suspicions that she and her former beau had split. “I don’t have a next job. I don’t have a home. I don’t have a partner. I don’t have a plan. I’m just completely open,” Larson said while describing this “period of adventure” for her. Although Larson did not give a reason for their breakup, she admitted in the same interview, “I’m very good at confrontation in my relationships because I want to be in reality. I want to be in what’s as close to what’s true as possible.”

Finding herself single and newly in her 30s at the time, Larson told Harper’s Bazaar that she possessed “all the same normal fears as everybody else” about her situation, including “certain existential questions.” Chief among those was the “when?” and “how?” (and “who?”) of starting a family alongside a skyrocketing career and ever-intensifying media scrutiny. “That’s such a big place to be in,” Larson conceded. Although the “Room” star knew she wanted children, she admitted, “How that happens, when that happens, in what capacity­ — I don’t know.” 

“How does a family and a future fit in with my weird life?” the movie star asked herself at the time.
