they met in an elevator when she was 16 and he was 21 back in australia because the aus film scene is pretty small (fun fact: they’re friends with chris hemsworth and i think ej said that she plays with his kids??)

then a couple years later they were cast on t100 in 2013 and they made a pact to always be close because they were the only 2 aussies there so they had to look out for each other

bob had a girlfriend back in aus while they were filming s1 (jane) but they broke up pretty amicably i think considering she was still friends with his fam afterwards. i know there’s rumours of cheating but at the very most it would have been emotional cheating (which, i doubt but yeah nothing physical)

then sometime in 2014 they started hooking/ became fwbs which lasted until 2015 where they then ended things after sdcc but before s3 started filming/ very very early on in the filming of s3 (this was confirmed by multiple people associated with the show back in 2016)

yes the cast knew about it (see devon circa 2014/2015)

things ended because as far as i know someone wanted more (to be in an actual relationship) and the other person didn’t. i really don’t know which one because for this i’ve heard conflicting things like oh bob wanted more and she didn’t that’s why he got into a serious relationship just a few months after or oh ej wanted more and bob didn’t but he got in a relationship after and she was pissed/ the woman scorned and that’s why they were like that late 2015 going into 2016, etc etc

yeah tons of drama

anyway this is why 2015-2016 was so anti blarke and why b and e were never seen at cons together like they’re the shows leads but they weren’t seen together for that entire period at all

dec 2015 bob did a con in australia (i believe it was december) and that’s where he met ar.ryn. ar.ryn cheated on her then bf with bob (this was confirmed by her ex and i wish i would find the link again) (she also stole his dog too lmao)

b and a started dating in 2016 and after the whole bellarke shit moment b and e started trying to be friends again (e posted a pic with her, bob, ellie and ar.ryn on ig)

pretty much quiet throughout 2017 and most of 2018. e had a couple flings but no one stuck. b and a were still dating even though she was always a bit insecure of b an e’s relationship

latter half of 2018 e started dating william which really honestly wasn’t as serious as some of y’all made it seem they dated for a few months, ej called the paps on them to take pics that one time, and then they broke up amicably in december

for ej’s birthday last year (late october) bob gave her a custom made letterman jacket that he had personalized for her and matched his one

this part is purely spec on my part but i think this is what finally caused b and a to break like i know they were having trouble since last november/ december but (again, just me speculating) i think that jacket sort of served as a catalyst for it because she’s always been insecure about b and ej’s relationship (which, i guess was for good reason lmao but at the same time if i was in her position i would have broken up long before?? i’m not gonna sit around for almost 4 years and be insecure over someone)

anyway bob and ar.ryn broke up in late jan/ early feb right after the t100 s6 wrap party.

this deserves it’s own point because some people are spreading nasty rumours but there was no physical cheating

ar.ryn posted a lot of stuff about being gaslighted and how she was betrayed etc but tbh that’s just her being dramatic and looking for trouble so just ignore her

after the break up b stayed with ej for a little bit before getting his house back. he and ej started their relationship soon after and they were together for conaggedon

i forgot to mention this but at the last con ej did someone saw the ring on her finger and she said that she was engaged
