MEET ELSIE RICHTER
Like the "Stranger Things" actor, Richter works in the entertainment industry. She is best recognized for her appearance in the HBO series "Doll & Em," which ran from 2013 to 2015.
Richter does not restrict her acting skills; she also explored voice acting in the 2019 animated comedy short film "Di Bibl." She performed with actors Gabe Fazio and Brandon Lamar.
Aside from those two projects, there is nothing more publicly mentioned about Richter. But given how young she is, who knows what kind of stardom is in store for her?
Richter is no stranger to the world of show business; her mother, Dolly Wells, is a successful writer and English actress. Elsie has a younger brother who goes by the name Ezra.
A few years ago, Wolfhard and Richter's romance dominated the headlines. After the duo was seen together in March 2021, several eagle-eyed fans started to speculate that they were dating.
Wolfhard allegedly revealed his relationship with Richter by releasing a fuzzy photograph of the two laughing at the camera in June last year. Their photo, however, has now been deleted, leaving their supporters to question whether they genuinely are a couple.
ELSIE IS ACTIVE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Now becoming a sought-after girlfriend of Wolfhard, Richter has kept their admirers informed with her daily routine on social media. Although her Instagram is unverified, her profile has increasing followers.
The gorgeous actress's Instagram account is @elsiepearls and has over 180,000 followers. Her page has been packed with creative photographs she and her circle of friends have captured.
She also uploaded images of interesting objects such as food or cats. Richter has never posted any photos of herself with Wolfhard, despite her penchant for posting funny selfies.
FINN WOLFHARD TELLS ABOUT THE DARK SIDE OF FAME
Following the removal of their picture from the internet and Richter excluding Wolfhard from all her social media accounts, followers remain baffled by confusing information about the duo despite efforts to uncover the truth of their alleged relationship.
Wolfhard and Richter have never publicly commented on their real relationship status. However, the "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" actor revealed to the Washington Post that he had a girlfriend.
He has become increasingly aware of the negative aspects of being a celebrity. He said that unknown individuals would sometimes try to expose his personal information in public.
Additionally, Wolfhard reportedly got threats from individuals claiming to know his alleged girlfriend's address. He said they would publicize the address until he validated their romantic connection. The young actor added:
"They're like, 'Oh, okay, I'm so sorry. We love her.' It all fades literally once you're like, 'Hey, calm down. It's cool. I'm a real person.' It's almost like a trance or something. Maybe it's a power thing."
Like many prominent celebrities, Wolfhard constantly works to normalize relations with his childhood friends. After achieving fame, he drifted apart from his close buddies.
Even though his friends had invited him to several events, Wolfhard always politely declined. He said that, internally, he was terrified that making the wrong decision might cost him everything.
Meanwhile, Wolfhard's admirers may sigh with relief knowing that he is not romantically involved with his "Stranger Things" co-star Millie Bobby Brown.
After an unpleasant encounter with toxic admirers, "The Turning" actor and Richter remain silent about their relationship. Instead of explaining, they let their followers decide how to interpret it.
The alleged couple also seldom posted images on social media, but the photos were always single shots. Because of this confusion, the couple's passionate fans believe they broke up this year.
Despite the doubts and confusion, Wolfhard and Richter's supportive admirers have expressed hope that they will soon disclose their adorable connection.
Meanwhile, Wolfhard's admirers may sigh with relief knowing that he is not romantically involved with his "Stranger Things" co-star Millie Bobby Brown. The latter has been in a relationship with her boyfriend, Jake Bongiovi, since 2021.
Besides Brown, Wolfhard stars in "Stranger Things" with several actors, including Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Priah Ferguson, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Natalia Dyer, and Charlie Heaton.
Wolfhard has starred in a few TV shows before his big performance in the highly acclaimed Netflix series, which also stars David Harbour and Winona Ryder.
While no details about the fifth season of "Stranger Things" have been revealed, the Duffer Brothers have said that the fourth season is not the end. Netflix's Ted Sarandos alluded to the show's spinoff.
Wolfhard had intended to attend New York University to study filmmaking, but he decided against it since he learned so many things while working on set, thanks to the show's creators, the Duffer Brothers.
The young heartthrob has also starred in music videos for artists from Vancouver, where he grew up. He is also a member of The Aubreys, and they released their debut album last year.
