FaZe Banks has responded after a netizen claimed he’s dating his ex-girlfriend, fellow influencer and model Alissa Violet.
FaZe Clan co-founder Ricky Banks famously started dating Alissa Violet in 2017 following her viral breakup from YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul.
The couple went steady for two years before Violet began claiming that Banks had cheated on her with several different women before ultimately calling things off in 2019.
While things were awkward at the start, the two have since rekindled their friendship over the years — and some fans are convinced that they’re back together on the down-low.
FaZe Banks denies Alissa Violet relationship rumors
On February 28, the official FaZe Clan Instagram account posted a series of photos, one of which included a picture of Banks and Violet.
In the photo, Banks poses with his arm around Violet, who looks up at him with her hand on her hip. The post was captioned, “Proud parents,” leading some fans to assume that the duo was back together with a new family member on the way.
However, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Banks clarified his relationship with Violet in a tweet on X, posted in response to a video of himself and Violet taken from that same photoshoot.
“Absolutely not,” he wrote, alongside a crying face emoji. “Love her to death though, that’s my family forever.”
Banks has been vocal about his affection for Violet, but made it clear that he isn’t interested in pursuing another romance with the model.
The end of it was awful, it was brutal,” Banks said in a 2022 episode of Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast. “It was like we wanted to try to make it work by all means necessary, even if it meant sacrificing our own sanity and happiness.
“I do not miss our relationship,” he admitted. “No. No. You couldn’t f*cking pay me enough money in the world to do it again. But I wouldn’t change it. I wouldn’t undo it.”
