Personal Life[]
He was in a long-term relationship with YouTube cover artist Sarah Close for over 5 years until they announced their breakup in a YouTube video on 12 October 2019.
Callux previously lived in a Stratford Halo apartment with Wroetoshaw and Calfreezy, having moved there in August 2014 but the trio moved into their own house, located in Bermondsey, sometime in 2019.
In 2020, Callux bought a house which he moved into around the same time Calfreezy and Harry moved into a new apartment, but he made a video explaining that while he no longer lived with them, his new house was very close to their new apartment.
Trivia[]
- In late 2013, one of Callum's pranks went horribly wrong. In a video uploaded on 22 December 2013, Callum attempted to "prank" a man by "stealing" his car in a London parking lot in order to prove how easy it was in the modern day. The man - unsurprisingly - failed to see the joke and proceeded to choke Callum and punch him in the face. Whilst this was happening, Callum tried to give an explanation but with no success. Eventually, Callux got through to the man, finally calmed him down and explained that there was cameras surrounding the area. The man agreed to let the video be uploaded to YouTube as long as his face was blurred.
