Patrick Moberg is back in the press, with news of a break-up with his subway sweetheart Camille Hayton. Last November the two connected after a missed connection, and within weeks appeared on Good Morning America, got the Nicole Kidman stamp of approval, and shopped their story around Hollywood. Now Reuters reports via the Sunday Telegraph that the couple only lasted for just two months, placing their break-up sometime in January -- even though it was reported the two hit the end of the line in December. While Moberg has stuck to his "no more press" rule, Hayton (currently taking acting classes and working three jobs) broke her silence and explained: "I think the situation was so intense that it bonded us in a way that you could mistake, I guess, for being more romantic than it was. I don't know. But I wanted to give it a go so I didn't wonder what if, what if?" Maybe their Hollywood rom-com will have a happier ending.

If only there had been some way she could have known that he was a total freaking lunatic.
"I say we dated for a while but now we're just friends," Hayton, now 23, told the newspaper.
So it sounds like she LJBF'ed him, as in "let's just be friends." Possibly one of the worst, most degrading things a woman can say to be man.

Seriously though. Trying to sell the film rights to this whole lame spectacle is one of the saddest things I've ever heard. Even if the two of them had somehow lasted, it would be one of the dullest stories ever committed to celluloid.
Also, they already made that movie. It was called On The Line and it starred Lance Bass.
Y'know, I really thought they broke up like eons ago...
If I'm wrong, she didn't look like she was taking it too hard as she seemed fine when she stood behind me on line yesterday at the Tompkins Square Park Post Office. Her work performance is not suffering either as she gets my order right every time she's my waitress. You go girl! Wash that man (and those flowers) right out of your hair!
I cant believe I just wasted 30 seconds of life (as well as 45 sec writing) reading this. JESUS CHRIST
I think I'm going to cry.
NOT!
If they can't make it, who can?. There's no such thing as love.
I remember when Jen Carlson made about 56 posts about this non fucking story. I think she should have been fired for it but that would speak too much to Gothamist's standards as a blog.
Welp. Here she goes again...
Hmmm. 2 months? that sounds like 4-8 dates in hipster time. I think the jew guy can be played by Adam Samberg in the movie cause his star is rising and the pudgy chick can be played by reese witherspoon, just cause she always play the pudgy chick.
Also I should remind Gothamist that this whole story was a publicity stunt created by Jakob Lodwick - the founder of Vimeo and also a co-creator of College Humor and Busted Tees (who is a sponsor of this site) - shortly before he got canned from his own company. Oh I should also mention that he is the guy who got dumped online by Julia Allison - the Manhattan nobody who Gawker promotes.
The (Fake) viral story spread to each and every company listed above and Jen Carlson did her best to pump it as best she could.
In the end Blackbook Media - a company in NYC who employed the Aussie girl in this story - used it as a great way to emply free talent to its POS company.
I'm not sure why Jen Carlson has decided to participate in this story that was manufactured from nothing (even my narrative is boring and of no importance to anything) other than to be included in a manufactured gossip (or did it just start as a joke) and, as we all know, if you aren't talking about what others are talking about in New York you are nothing.
So yeah, that's it. A highly nauseating piece of work all the way around.
That's because Jen Carlson is a sucker for cheesy-ass love stories. I can't blame her as that's how most women are.
Yeah but it was a fake love story from the start. She kept posting about it over and over again even though she was totally aware of how phoney this whole thing was/is.
I'm not being meant but John Del Signore does what this chick does 8000 times better. With the both of them on this site, though, I feel like I'm reading a poor man's Gawker.

Which leads to higher expectations which in turn leads to bigger disappointments. Reality is your friend, ladies.
matty, your continuous hatred of a total stranger who writes blog entries on topics of no interest to you is a little odd to say the least. Do you somehow expect Jen or Gothamist to change based on your irrational dislike and constant complaints? Wouldn't you be happier just skipping the posts that she writes?
I blame their breakup on Gothamist and all you readers / commenters here. Gothamist should have been on this subway sweathearts story right when it broke out and continue to update and monitor it 24/7. They should have set up another blog in its "ist" universe and a dedicated writer just for it. We readers should have demanded more intense coverage, but sadly it's too late. We must keep the hipster dreams alive!
jakob lodwick was the biggest jerk I ever met. The dude was so full of himself. It's kinda cool to see those guys from busted tees/college humor grow/blow/ and implode online. It's like watching Icarus soar and fall. The internet is Awesome sometimes. It's really cool when someone's downfall is there for everyone to mock especially someone who was so fame hungry. Busted tees has the worst quality t-shirts I've ever seen. The screen printing is garbage and they just steal 50% of their tee designs yet they continiue to do brisk business cause of their hipster mafia ties.
Matty, your assessment of this publicity stunt is interesting and seems to be indicative of the emerging class of no-talent buzz-hungry Marketing-types who have infested so many Web 2.0 companies. A bunch of hacks who deserve nothing but loathing.
Normally I would say that two months was long enough for him to bang her a few times and then flee, but if this really was some kind of lame-ass web marketing scheme then he probably didn't get anywhere with her.
Matty is a genius.
I gotta say again, I do love Gothamist. Its so much more laid back here than at Gawker.
And plus, we're a hundred times cooler than those fucking people.
"Sounds like she LJBF'ed him, as in "let's just be friends." It's one of the worst, most cowardly, and most degrading things a woman can say to a man."
awwwwwww... do you mean because the girl should just break it off instead of saying "friends" when she doesn't mean it?
The "LJBF" speech is the worst way to break off with someone. Breaking up should be clean and quick like ripping off a band-aid. Women never meant nor want to stay friends since they are not interested in having emotional packages lingering around. Men who try to be friends with their ex's are just hoping to either get back together, or more likely for some rebound sex when the next guy dumps her ass.
I doubt Moberg even got to second base with her.
