THE ONLY REAL BREAK-UP OF THE YEAR

They had been together for three years and I had been genuinely in love with their relationship for three years and would love to establish some sort of polyamorous marriage with them. You might think this is about Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl, but no, I have another favorite couple. I'm talking about Caroline Vreeland and Cameron Klippsten, maybe not super mega famous, but famous enough.

He is a model and actor, she is a singer and, well, a sort of it-girl. Best friends with blogger Shea Marie, the granddaughter of the legendary Diana Vreeland and always in possession of the best invites for the best parties. Meanwhile, over 130,000 people are following her on Instagram and I feel a certain pride that I ‘already’ followed her when she ‘only’ had 4,000 followers, so I've seriously been following her life for a long time.

And then suddenly an incredibly handsome man named Cameron came into the picture. You should know, that Caroline is certainly not bad to look at and that Cameron even more so. Together they make a ridiculously perfect picture that not only looks very nice but is also incredibly cheerful and fun to follow. Quite quickly, both of their Instagram pages overflowed with the most sugary love photos and love declarations, hilarious videos, and photos where the sex really drips off. The perfect couple. But really. Ieven wrote this piece about them once, I was so in total awe of them. I say sugary, but it was never over the top hysterical OMG LOVE OF MY LIFE nonsense, just photos where you could see that they really love each other.

But in recent months, fewer and fewer photos of them together appeared. He no longer went to fashion week, she no longer appeared in his film projects, and there were no more love photos. And now comes something I'm less proud of and is actually just downright embarrassing, but I started leaving comments like “Where’s Cameron?!” and on his “Where’s Caroline?!” I know, totally teenage behavior.

Of course, there was no response to that and then something else happened that I'm not proud of, but I started digging and eventually another follower responded with: “They broke up.”

I know you expect more from me, but really, I have to say: I found it so sad. I think I even responded somewhere with “Now I don’t believe in love anymore” and the sum of my actions is certainly not pretty. But well, they have broken up. And what's more, she is now dating a girl named Tasya van Ree, whom I of course totally investigated and now a few weeks later I can indeed conclude that they are really broken up and that she is now with Tasya.

Look, the thing is, I always got so happy from their relationship and even took some sort of example from it. Like, I want it like that too. It always seemed so perfect and this confirms even more that Instagram gives a distorted view of someone's life. On Snapchat, it shows that they are still friends and that comforts me a bit, but still, I find it stupid. I can get very dramatic about how love is really never ever certain and that even the nicest relationships can fall apart, while I really know better than to go off a stylized image of someone's life.

I still follow both, but I find it a lot less fun. What I don't find less fun is him, and maybe I should just go to LA (because that's where they live) to look him up and then get a relationship like that with him. But one that doesn't end.

And if that doesn't work either, then I might as well let myself be adopted by Johannes and Olivia, because they really will never break up..
