Is Hunter Schafer Dating Dominic Fike Now?

Off-screen relationships tied to Euphoria have kept viewers guessing long after the show’s second season wrapped. Early 2022 social media posts and paparazzi shots raised the question of whether Hunter Schafer was dating anyone, and the answer at the time pointed to Dominic Fike, the singer and actor who played Elliot. Schafer posted a March 2022 photo of Fike holding desserts and added a bee emoji, prompting fans to ask whether the two were serious. The answer then was yes; the answer now is that the relationship ended in 2023.

Behind the scenes romance

Public confirmation arrived through Instagram posts and sightings at West Hollywood spots Craig’s and The Nice Guy in January 2022, followed by a February 2022 photo of the pair kissing that Fike shared. Comments flooded in calling the couple adorable. The relationship lasted until mid-2023. Dominic Fike told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in July 2023 that the split stemmed from codependency and that he was stepping away from relationships for a while. In an August 2024 appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Hunter Schafer described the breakup as mutually agreed upon and noted that it was her first experience with infidelity. She also discussed the added pressure of public attention as a trans woman dating a straight man in the music industry.

The Breakup and Public Aftermath

Fike’s July 2023 interview marked the first clear public statement that the relationship was over. Schafer’s 2024 podcast comments added her perspective, framing the end as a shared decision while acknowledging the sting of being cheated on. Neither party has traded public barbs since, and both have kept later romantic lives largely private.

Hunter Schafer's Reflections on the Relationship

Schafer used the Call Her Daddy conversation to address how the relationship played out under constant scrutiny. She described the challenges of navigating a high-profile romance while managing her own identity in the spotlight and noted that the mutual decision to part ways ultimately felt necessary. Her comments offered fans a rare look at how she processes personal matters without turning them into tabloid fodder.

Euphoria Season 3 Cast Dynamics

Both Schafer and Fike returned for Season 3, which premiered in April 2026. They appeared together in the ensemble but kept their professional dynamic separate from any past personal history. Fike skipped the Los Angeles premiere because of a conflicting performance date, so no joint red-carpet moments occurred. The cast has continued to promote the show individually, focusing on the work rather than off-screen chapters that have already closed.

Other Euphoria Cast Relationship Updates

Sydney Sweeney and restaurateur Jonathan Davino ended their engagement in March 2025 after seven years together. Zendaya and Tom Holland moved from a long-term relationship to engagement in late 2024 or early 2025 and reportedly married in a private ceremony confirmed in 2026 interviews. These updates replace earlier reports that described both couples as still building toward future milestones.

All is fair in love & Euphoria

Schafer’s modeling career and activism remain central to her public profile. She appeared on Teen Vogue’s “21 Under 21” list in 2017, made her acting debut in Euphoria season one, and has continued to speak out on LGBTQ rights, including opposition to North Carolina’s Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act. Dominic Fike entered the show with an established music career that included the hit “3 Nights,” collaborations with Brockhampton, and a cover of Paul McCartney’s “The Kiss of Venus” for McCartney III Imagined. Their shared time on set produced memorable scenes and, for a period, a real-life connection that fans followed closely. The relationship ran its course, the work continued, and both actors have moved forward on separate tracks.
