The Met Gala is the crème de la crème of Hollywood events, where the biggest stars and fashion icons gather for a night of glitz, glamour, and high fashion. It’s a chance for celebrities to make a statement with their fashion choices and to mingle with other famous faces.
But amidst all the glamour, the Met Gala is notorious for being a hot spot for past flames to reunite. With so many A-listers in attendance, it’s not uncommon for exes to cross paths on the red carpet or bump into each other inside the event.
Twilight Stars Light Up the Stage

Robert Pattinson walked the red carpet with his girlfriend Suki Waterhouse, but it’s worth noting that he also had two exes at the event. He was previously engaged to FKA Twigs and had a highly-publicized relationship with Kristen Stewart, his co-star in the Twilight movies. Fortunately, he’s on good terms with both of them.

Suki Waterhouse’s ex, Bradley Cooper, was also at the event with his former girlfriend, Irina Shayk. Meanwhile, Waterhouse’s co-star in Daisy Jones and The Six, Camila Morrone, made headlines for her past relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio, who was rumored to have briefly dated Gigi Hadid.
No Bad Feelings in Public? Olivia Wilde & Emily Ratajkowski

Olivia Wilde turned heads at the Met Gala afterparty in a daring pearlescent mesh dress. Despite the risk of another awkward run-in with Emily Ratajkowski, who had kissed Olivia’s ex-boyfriend Harry Styles in Tokyo earlier this year, Olivia arrived at the party smiling, showing that she can handle tricky social situations with grace and style.

Of course, Emily Ratajkowski was also at the Met Gala, and while her ex-fling Harry Styles wasn’t in attendance, another of his exes was: Kendall Jenner. The two were linked back in 2013, and while they’ve never officially confirmed a relationship, many of Styles’ songs from his self-titled album are believed to be about her.
Pete & Kim – Staged Reunion?
The Met Gala 2023 was the event everyone was talking about, but all eyes were on one particular pair: Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian. Months after their split, the former couple reunited on the red carpet in their designer outfits, looking as stunning as ever.
Kim turned heads in her beaded Schiaparelli gown while catching up with Pete and fellow guest Usher. And while their relationship may be in the past, the Met Gala holds a special place in their hearts as it’s where they first met in 2021.

Rumors swirled that this was indeed a photo opp orchestrated by momager Kris Jenner, however, both A-listers handled the situation elegantly, albeit with a touch of awkwardness, particularly for Usher, who found himself caught in the middle.
Also worth mentioning, Pete is currently happily coupled up with Chase Sui, who happens to be the niece of fashion designer Anna Sui. Pete and Chase met while filming the horror flick Bodies Bodies Bodies.
Other Notable Exes in Attendance

Alexander Skarsgård was another attendee with an ex at the event, as his former girlfriend, Alexa Chung, was also in attendance. The two dated for several years before splitting in 2017.
Finally, Maya Hawke, who appeared in Stranger Things, was also at the event. While she’s not currently linked to anyone, she dated Tom Sturridge in the past, who is now dating Alexa Chung.
Despite the potential for awkwardness, all of these celebrity exes seemed to navigate the event without any major incidents. But who knows what could happen next year? Only time will tell.
