Does anyone know what this plant is? I got given it by a friend but we’re not share what it is?

TIA x

Looks like a tradescantia fluminensis variety. I owned the white stripe variety for a season. It or the squirrels dropped cuttings in my yard that lost the variegations and planted itself within my other tradescantia nest. The plant went bald at the top and died.
