One of the notable former couples who had a close call at the Met Gala was Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger. The pair dated briefly in 2015, while Cyrus was on a break with Liam Hemsworth, and Schwarzenegger was a USC student. Although they were in close proximity at the Gala, Schwarzenegger was seen with his co-star Aimee Lou Wood, indicating that they had moved on from their past relationship.
Another intriguing pair at the Gala was Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny, who sparked dating rumors in early 2023. Despite keeping their relationship mostly private, they made headlines with their outings and appearances. After a brief break and reuniting at last year’s Met Gala, the couple eventually called it quits in September, leaving fans speculating about their future interactions.
Rosalía and Jeremy Allen White also made headlines at the event, having been linked in late 2023 after both had come out of long-term relationships. Their relationship ended abruptly in September 2024 when White was spotted with another love interest, marking the end of their time together.
Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan, who made their Met Gala debut as a couple the previous year, walked the carpet separately this time around. The pair’s romance began in late 2023 but fizzled out by late 2024, despite their public appearances together and Keoghan’s role in Carpenter’s music video.
The Gala also saw the encounter of Future and Ciara, who dated in 2012 and share a son together. Despite their split in 2014 due to alleged infidelity, the pair continue to co-parent their child while occasionally engaging in public disputes through social media and music.
Rosalía encountered another ex, Hunter Schafer, at the Gala, with whom she had a brief relationship in 2019. Schafer described their split as amicable, highlighting the strong bond and friendship they share, hinting at a possible reunion in the future.
Miley Cyrus had yet another throwback moment with her Disney-days ex, Nick Jonas, at the event. The pair dated as teenagers and briefly rekindled their relationship in 2009, sharing fond memories despite the challenges they faced during their time together.
Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger, who dated on and off from 2007 to 2015, also had a moment at the Gala. Despite rumors of engagement and pressure to settle down, they ultimately parted ways, with Scherzinger expressing her devastation over the breakup. Since then, they have maintained their distance, with Scherzinger revealing they have had no contact.
The 2025 Met Gala not only showcased the latest fashion and style trends but also provided a glimpse into the personal lives and relationships of these celebrities. Despite their past romances and encounters, these stars continue to navigate their professional and personal lives with grace and resilience, captivating audiences with their stories of love and heartbreak on and off the red carpet.
