How did they meet? I’m pretty new in the fandom, so sorry if it’s a stupid question.

I just know he dated Caroline and I always found that pretty odd given the circumstances between her and the 1D boys/Harry.

Hi! Don’t worry asking is always good if you don’t know!

So, Lewis and Caroline Flack had been dating since 2019, and it seemed to be starting out really badly, too, with loads of public (sometimes physical) arguments in public; she apparently paid off several thousands of pounds of debt for Lewis, as well. It got so bad that at some point police got called and there was an assault case opened because a fight escalated in which Caroline supposedly smashed a lamp over Lewis head and Caroline injured her finger bleeding all over their bed. A media witch hunt ensued, and amidst the assault case, Caroline moved out and in with her close friend Lou Teasdale (January / February 2020). Lewis kept denying the assaults happened and that Caroline wasn’t dangerous, and at the same time supposedly screamed at her that he “used to be normal before he met her.” They were due to appear in court, but then Caroline committed suicide, supposedly leaving a note to Lewis saying she hopes they’ll find peace together at some point.

Lottie and Lou Teasdale had founded Tanologist together in 2018 (went public 2019), and Lottie sort of became friends / acquaintances with Caroline when she moved in with Lou.

Lottie and Lewis met for the first time at the party in honour of Caroline after her funeral in March 2020, and they confirmed their relationship publicly early July 2020 (that’s three months). Apparently, Lou Teasdale didn’t talk to Lottie for a long time after she got together with Lewis, and apparently Lottie also paid off about 25k £ of Lewis’ debts quite early on. They also, especially in the beginning, had some headlines about their arguments turning physical in public…
