During Too Hot to Handle, Elys was romantically linked with Hunter Lonigro and Alex Snell, sustaining a relationship with Alex for a period after the show ended. Although she has also been connected to Nathan Soan Mngomezulu, she is currently single and open to new romantic opportunities.
With a strong social media presence, Elys boasts over 500,000 Instagram followers, sharing stunning travel photos, fashion highlights, and lifestyle content. She is equally popular on TikTok, where she posts videos about skiing, makeup, and style.
Elys is already familiar with some Made in Chelsea stars, including Yasmine Zweegers and Chuggs Wallis. Chuggs, a former Love Island contestant, teased the upcoming season’s drama, highlighting that this series focuses more on personal conflicts and friendship tests rather than romance.
Chuggs said, “This season feels different from the last. There’s less romance and more tension in friendships, which feels much more personal and challenging.”
Made in Chelsea returns to E4 on Monday, March 16 at 9pm, promising fans an exciting new chapter with fresh faces and evolving dynamics.
