The Stranger Things actor, 32, dated the It Follows star, 31, for five years before separating sometime between 2022 and 2023. They made their final public appearance together in March 2022 at the Vanity Fair Oscar party.
Now, in a new interview, Keery offered some insight into the timing of the breakup — and how he handled it.
Reflecting on the six months he spent in Calgary filming season 5 of Fargo, Keery said he arrived straight from Rome, where he’d been filming Finally Dawn, and his relationship had just ended.
In the aftermath of the breakup — and as he prepared to star as Gator Tillman on the FX series alongside stars like Jon Hamm and Juno Temple — Keery said he “started working out a bunch and changed my diet a little bit.”
While the pair never officially confirmed their breakup, Monroe, who is also an actress, was spotted kissing Dalton Gomez, Ariana Grande’s ex-husband in photos obtained by TMZ in October 2023. Since the 2022 Vanity Fair Oscars party, neither Keery nor Monroe have been seen together, and neither have spoken about their relationship.
During their five years together, the pair had largely kept their relationship private, though Monroe often stepped out to support her beau at various premieres and events.
They made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Stranger Things season 2 premiere in 2017. At the event, Monroe showed off some PDA with the actor, who has played fan-favorite Steve Harrington since the show’s premiere. They were later seen sharing a kiss while out in New York City that same year.
In a rare interview with GQ, Keery opened up about his relationship with Monroe — who he met while filming their 2018 film After Everything — as he said they “spent so much time together” over quarantine, “which was rare.”
Keery’s current relationship status is unknown, though he has been spotted out in New York City with actress Chase Sui Wonders — who previously dated Pete Davidson — several times since October 2023.
