Miley Cyrus crossed paths with ex Patrick Schwarzenegger at the Met Gala. The couple dated for five months in 2015 while Cyrus was off again with longtime boyfriend Liam Hemsworth and Schwarzenegger was a student at USC. Though Schwarzenegger was photographed near Cyrus, the White Lotus actor stuck by co-star Aimee Lou Wood on the blue carpet.
Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny

Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny first sparked dating rumors in early 2023 when they were spotted out to dinner with Justin and Hailey Bieber. Aside from Bad Bunny’s oblique references to Jenner in his music and frequent public appearances, the former couple hasn’t shared much about their relationship.
They took a break for a few months before notably reuniting at last year’s Met Gala and resuming their relationship. Though they called it quits again in September, maybe the model and singer will take inspiration from Met Galas past.
Rosalía and Jeremy Allen White

Rosalía and Jeremy Allen White were first linked in late 2023, after both the singer and the actor had left long-term, serious relationships. Though the pair never spoke about their relationship, they were frequently photographed together.
But by September 2024, White was spotted kissing The Bear love interest Molly Gordon, and the relationship was deemed to be over.

After making their Met Gala debut as a couple at last year’s event, Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan walked this year’s carpet separately.
The pair first sparked romance rumors in December 2023 when they were spotted grabbing dinner together in Los Angeles. But after a year of a highly publicized relationship — which included a starring role by Keoghan in the “Please Please Please” singer’s music video — the duo called it quits in late 2024.
Future and Ciara

The rapper and singer began dating in 2012 and welcomed a son, Future Zahir, in 2014, before splitting later that year amid rumors of the Future’s infidelity. Ciara went on to marry NFL star Russell Wilson in 2016, with whom she shares three children.
Though the pair still co-parent their son together, it hasn’t stopped them from taking swipes at each other — and Wilson — on social media and through music.
Rosalía and Hunter Schafer

Rosalía also shared the carpet with another ex — Hunter Schafer. The pair dated for five months in 2019 and had an amicable split. “She’s family no matter what,” Schafer told GQ in 2024, adding that they have a “really beautiful” friendship.
Another reunion may be in the cards for Schafer and the Spanish singer — Rosalía confirmed that she will have a role in season 3 of Euphoria, which Schafer has starred in since 2019.
Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas

Cyrus had another major relationship throwback with the appearance of her Disney-days ex Nick Jonas on the carpet. The pair met as teenagers and dated from 2006 to 2007. They briefly rekindled their relationship in 2009.
“Nick and I loved each other,” Cyrus told Seventeen in 2008. “We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years he was basically my 24/7. But it was really hard to keep it from people. We were arguing a lot, and it really wasn’t fun.”
Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger

Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger dated on and off from 2007 until 2015. At one point, they were rumored to be engaged, which Scherzinger shot down. In 2014, Hamilton told E! that he was “feeling pressure” to tie the knot, and the pair split shortly thereafter.
“I’m devastated that it didn’t work out. It was the hardest decision we had to make, but we made it together,” the former Pussycat Dolls singer said in a statement at the time. Since then, the pair have kept their distance and Scherzinger said in 2016 that they had no contact.
