Get in the driver’s seat because you’re a driver,” Lowry told Elliott before highlighting some of his extra gifts. “This has all the emergency supplies if you have an accident or need to scrape the ice off your car. If you need first aid, that’s it. And in the summer, when it’s hot, you can put it on the windshield so the car doesn’t get hot inside. I hope you like it. This is your car!”

Since then, Lowry has continued to update fans on her family’s life through social media and her various podcasts.

In June 2025, Elliott made headlines of his own when he appeared on an episode of “Hardly famous” podcast and it opened about his sexuality.

Elliott, who was born Isaac Rivera, added, “I’m here today to show you who I am, not who you saw on TV for 12 years of my life.”
