Met Gala Couples: Love Lost After Fashion's Biggest Night
28 Apr
Summary
- Several couples have reportedly split after attending the Met Gala.
- Kirsten Dunst & Jake Gyllenhaal split in July 2004.
- Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth separated in late summer 2019.
The Met Gala, celebrated for its extravagant fashion, has also garnered attention for an unusual pattern: several couples who attend the event have subsequently ended their relationships, leading to the lore of a "Met Gala Curse." While the gala's influence on these breakups is speculative, the correlation has become a recurring theme.
Notable pairs include Kirsten Dunst and Jake Gyllenhaal, who debuted as a couple in 2003 and split by July 2004. Selena Gomez and The Weeknd, public at the 2017 gala, broke up five months later. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott, parents to Stormi, announced a break in 2019 after their 2018 gala appearance, marking an on-and-off relationship until their 2023 split.
Further examples include Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, who attended as a married couple in 2019 and separated by the summer's end. Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson, who made their debut in 2022, reportedly ended their whirlwind romance just months later.
