The actor almost disappeared from the public eye, avoiding social events and interviews.
31-year-old actor Ansel Elgort, known for the film "Baby Driver," has become a father. This became known after he was spotted in New York City: he was walking with his newborn son, whom he carried in a sling, and a woman whose identity has not yet been revealed. The couple even took the subway, demonstrating a rare modesty for a Hollywood star, reports Page Six.
The child's mother is not a public figure, and Elgort is intentionally keeping her name private to protect the family from media attention. This decision seems particularly conscious in light of the past scandals that have followed the actor in recent years.
Interestingly, Elgort was previously in a long but unstable relationship with Violetta, whom he met in school. Their romance began in 2012 and lasted over ten years, but was filled with breakups and reconciliations. It was only in 2022 that they finally parted ways.
After that, the actor almost disappeared from the public eye, avoiding social events and interviews. His last major role was in 2023, and since then he has focused on his personal life. The arrival of a child marks the first significant event in his biography in the last three years and may signify a turning point, marking the transition from the image of a playboy to that of an adult man and father.
Ansel's Scandal
The decision to live away from social media and cameras is largely connected to the accusations that surfaced in 2020. At that time, a girl named Gabby claimed on social media that Elgort had an intimate relationship with her when she was 17 and he was over 20. She emphasized that she was not posting this for fame or punishment, but to "heal."
Although the matter did not go to court, the actor's reputation suffered significantly: studios postponed joint projects, and fans were divided into two camps. Since then, Elgort has avoided public statements and preferred to act through lawyers.
Music Career
Elgort is not only a successful actor but also a DJ who performed under the pseudonym Ansølo. While still in school, he released tracks, and his first remix was of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die." In 2014, he signed with Staar Traxx and Size Records, releasing the singles "Unite" and "Totem."
Later, inspired by Jewish folk music, he recorded the track "To Life." In 2016, he moved to the reputable Universal Records, where he released "Home Alone" and "Thief," featuring his girlfriend in the music video. He also collaborated with rapper Logic, participating in the recording of the album "Everybody." However, after the scandal in 2020, his musical activity came to a halt.
