Are Hunter Schafer and Dominic Fike Still Together?
While Hunter and Dominic’s relationship was still going strong off their run on season 2 of Euphoria, the “3 Nights” singer confirmed their split while opening up about his struggles with codependency in relationships in a July 2023 interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.
“I’m just done being in relationships right now,” the actor explained. “But the fact of me saying that — of being uncomfortable being alone — that’s a bad thing. So, I decided to just be alone for a while.”
Hunter opened up about their breakup during a GQ feature in April 2024 and admitted that the split helped her successfully film Cuckoo in 2022.
“I had all these pent-up emotions,” she told the outlet of filming the upcoming movie. “I got to exorcise a lot of the breakup feelings that I was going through.”
Split rumors previously surfaced in May 2022 after photos of the musician partying at Los Angeles hot spot Delilah surfaced showing the “Mona Lisa” artist mingling with other women, Instagram gossip account DeuxMoi reported the pair had been split for some time.
However, a fan posted a TikTok video of the pair holding hands at the Outside Lands Music Festival in August 2022, leading fans to think that they’re still together. “My heart,” an online user commented, while another joked, “Rue’s going to be pissed.”
Hunter seemingly put an end to those breakup rumors that December when she posted a sweet birthday tribute to her man.
“Happy birthday to the squishiest [boyfriend] in the whole world,” she shared via her Instagram Story on December 30. “I LOV UU [sic],” she added.
How Do Fans Feel About Hunter Schafer and Dominic Fike’s Split?
In the past, fans of the series were quick to air their opinions on social media over the couple’s rumored splits. “If Dominic Fike and Hunter Schafer break up and one of them is gone from Euphoria over it, I will be super pissed. We need at least one more season with both of you,” one user tweeted in May 2022. Another wrote, “One more thing about this Dominic and Hunter drama and I’m gonna throw hands.”
When Did Hunter Schafer and Dominic Fike Start Dating?
The HBO costars first sparked relationship rumors in January 2022, when Hunter and Dominic — who play Jules and Elliot, respectively, on the series — were spotted holding hands on a night out in West Hollywood.
The pair seemingly confirmed their relationship a month later when Dominic shared a photo via his Instagram Story kissing the actress at a dinner table.
The musician joined Euphoria for its sophomore season and he proved to cause drama for Hunter’s character and her girlfriend, Rue, played by Zendaya.
In the series, Elliot and Rue develop a friendship, one that leads them to do drugs together. Rue, Jules and Elliot all eventually form a bond, with Rue and Elliot keeping their drug use a secret. However, things take a turn when Jules and Elliot start hooking up behind Rue’s back.
Ahead of the season 2 premiere, Hunter initially was skeptical about Dominic’s character and the love triangle he would initiate between Jules and Rue.
“We saw more of what it brought into the story and the script, it became a more interesting and exciting prospect, and once Dom came on board, he made it a lot of fun,” Hunter told Variety in January 2022.
The “Elliot’s Song” singer joked to the outlet, “I can’t wait to see where people go with that and for all the hate messages I’ll get on my Instagram … and going into hiding. I can’t wait.”
The end of the season saw Rue and Elliot decide to stay friends, with his romantic relationship with Jules still up in the air for the forthcoming season.
