The existence of Dom's son served as a major bombshell, but the details surrounding Elena's pregnancy has been shrouded in inconsistencies. Based on information gathered in The Fate of the Furious, viewers learned when Elena was pregnant, and according to the timeline, the events don't necessarily add up.

Elena was beginning introduced in 2011's Fast Five as a patrol officeholder in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil that assisted the Diplomatic Security Service'southward endeavor at capturing Dom and his crew. While initially helping DSS agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), Elena concluded upwards siding with Dom's group subsequently learning of their intentions in taking down a corrupt Brazilian businessman. By the start of Fast & Furious 6, Dom and Elena embarked on a romantic human relationship, but that chop-chop came to an end with Letty came back into the picture. Elena eventually relocated to Los Angeles to join Hobbs at the DSS, just her past with Dom eventually led to her demise.

Despite actualization in Fast & Furious 6 and Furious 7 in a limited capacity, Elena failed to mention the fact that she was pregnant with Dom's child.

Dom and Elena ended their romantic relationship during the events of Fast & Furious half-dozen, which took place in 2013 according to the approved Fast & Furious timeline. Seeing every bit that was their last confirmed indicate of contact, Elena would take been significant before the events of Furious 7.

The eighth installment was gear up in 2017, merely according to the picture, Elena and Dom's son couldn't have been older than i.

In reality, young Brian would have been around the age of three or four based on the supposed formulation in 2013.
