But, is there actually any truth to the rumours about the Met Gala curse? Well, according to celebrity matchmaker and relationship expert, Carmelia Ray, it’s all “coincidental.”
She explained to Yahoo: “Relationships don’t break up because of a red carpet appearance; they break up because of what’s happening behind the scenes.
“If a couple is already struggling, the spotlight and scrutiny can add pressure, but it’s rarely the root cause.
“Celebrity relationships are already under a microscope, and the extra attention post-Met Gala can add fuel to the fire, but it’s not the main reason for a breakup.”
