FaZe Banks and Alissa Violet’s dating timeline

FaZe is the Chief Operating Officer for the e-sports organization FaZe, which he formed in 2010. He has continued to recruit talent and employees for the company and lives in the FaZe house with other members of the clan.

Violet is a model/actor /influencer who found fame on the social media app Vine. When Vine was shut down, the Internet personality transitioned to YouTube, where she boasts an impressive 3.45 million subscribers.

Banks and Violet crossed paths in 2017 after the latter had broken up with YouTuber turned-boxer, Jake Paul. They started appearing on each other’s shows on YouTube. The duo later confirmed they were dating by sharing a photo of themselves sharing a kiss at the Electric Daisy Carnival.

They earned the adorable nickname Balissa from their fans. Banks uploaded a video titled “My New Girlfriend,” on his YouTube channel, where he talked about how they developed feelings for each other in such a short time.

Violet made tongues wag when she posted in June 2017 with the caption: “Alissa Violet Marie Banks." Netizens started suspecting that the relationship was on the rocks when FaZe Banks appeared on a podcast in June 2019 and admitted that he hooked up with Tana Mongeau.

The FaZe Clan member would later announce his breakup from Violet to the utter disappointment of fans and well-wishers. FaZe took to X to make the announcement official while asking for Netizens to respect their privacy.

"Alissa and I decided about a month ago that we should take some time apart. Love that girl to death and always will. I’ll never say a bad word about her. This sh*** about as hard to deal with as it gets. Please respect our privacy through this."
