All the couples who hard launched their relationship at the Met Gala… and then broke up

There’s something undeniably cute about celebrity couples making their relationship debut at the Met Gala. It’s fashion, it’s PDA, it’s hard launch season. They show up glowing, matching outfits, whispering sweet nothings under extravagant feathers and jewels, and we eat it up. But for some reason, a lot of those romances seem to fizzle out not long after. Coincidence? Or is the Met Gala cursed when it comes to love?

So, here are all the celebrity couples who gave us heart eyes on the Met Gala steps, and then eventually broke up.

Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan

Sabrina and Barry made things official with a cute red carpet moment at the 2024 Met Gala, but by the end of the year, it was all over. She hit the road on tour, and he got hit with cheating rumours.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson

Kim and Pete made their Met Gala debut in 2022, but just three months later, it was all over.

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik

These two served futuristic glam at the 2016 Met Gala, looking every bit the power couple. But after a few breakups and makeups, they finally ended things for good in 2021.
