In a surprising turn of events, Tommy Dorfman, the well-known actress from ’13 Reasons Why,’ has dropped hints of a possible breakup with her wife Elise. Through a series of poignant posts on Instagram, Dorfman subtly revealed changes in her personal life, leaving fans and followers piecing together the story.
Dorfman, 32, shared a reflective 2024 recap on Instagram, catching many by surprise. The post consisted of 20 images, each depicting various moments from her year. It was the first image, however, that caught significant attention. Accompanying a photo of herself in a bathtub, Dorfman cryptically wrote, ‘1: heartbreak feels good in a place like this (I wrote this entirely original line),’ leading many to speculate about her current relationship status.
Further fueling the speculation, Dorfman shared a heartfelt image of actress Annabelle Dexter-Jones, noting her importance during what was described as ‘one of the hardest weeks of my life.’ Yet, she left the specifics of this difficult period undisclosed. Meanwhile, another post featured Dorfman’s dog, Fiona, accompanied by a caption stating that she and Fiona were living alone, hinting at her solitude after the separation. ‘Fiona loves her new home and, while it’s just the two of us now, I think she’s managing better than I,’ she noted poignantly.
The details of Dorfman’s recent relationship with Elise remain largely private. The couple’s journey began in 2021 when they met on the dating app Hinge, quickly leading to an engagement only two months into their relationship. In a candid reflection shared in Vogue, Tommy detailed their swift engagement, playful engagement with life, and described how they managed their time together, including adopting a Great Dane puppy. Despite this, their relationship seemed rushed, following what Dorfman dubbed their ‘Folklore-coded’ dresses experience and an elopement in Malibu.
Before her marriage with Elise, Dorfman was with Peter Zurkuhlen. They had tied the knot in 2016, but following Tommy’s announcement of her transition in 2021, they parted ways officially in early 2022. Dorfman had previously expressed the freedom she felt in exploring her attraction to women, which had resurfaced since her adolescence.
As the narrative unfolds on social media, Dorfman’s followers are left to interpret the timeline and specifics of recent events from her reflective posts, which intricately balance privacy with personal revelation.
