---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Camden Elias Longhurst was born in Reading, Berkshire, England on Christmas eve, 1978. His mother, Valentina was only 18 years old at the time of his birth. His father, Thomas was no where to be seen, he wasn't very active during the pregnancy. Valentina was Born in Florence, Italy to wealthy Italian fashion designers until, her father's affair had came to light causing seven year old Valentina Rose to move to the UK with her mother. By the time high school had came around she was dating a nice boy, middle class boy from Reading as well, Thomas Longhurst. They get engaged, but Thomas wasn't being faithful at all to Valentina, but Valentina just brushed it off trying to ignore it. But soon falling pregnant with their first child at seventeen was quite a scare as her mother would be highly disappointed by her daughter, Thomas did not care to go to the scans. He didn't want a baby in the first place. They broke up not long after the birth of Camden, who was his the center of his mother's word before long, Thomas was back in Valentina life, getting her pregnant again this time with twins, Thomas Longhurst II, goes by Tommy and Victoria ‘‘Ronnie’’ longhurst. Growing up was difficult as he had no father to look up too, no male role model at all as Valentina never married or got engaged after having the twins. Not long after his 13th birthday he noticed something was off, his mother looked sick, hair was thinner. His mother was sick, cancer. By the time he got married and his his first kid, his mother was in a wheelchair most of the time. By December of 2016, his mother had passed away right before Christmas, he had officially lost it. His only parent was gone, he had two teenage siblings to take care of now their mother had passed away. His mother opened up a pub right before she got sick, leaving Camden to run a pub without really not knowledge on how to properly run a pub, especially on his own terms but safe to say. Running a pub has really kept his mental health in check, especially on the really hard days. Camden took up Singer-songwriting as a hobby to make a little bit of extra money, acting keeps him pretty afloat but he just wanted was best for his daughter, Aurora Valentina Longhurst, who he has full custody of as his ex wife didn't want nothing to do to do with Aurora and Camden anymore.
