Dominic Fike, the actor best known for HBO’s hit series “Euphoria,” has confirmed his split from co-star Hunter Schafer. Fike revealed the breakup during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe this week, stating that he and Schafer, 24, are no longer dating. “I’m just done being in relationships right now,” he expressed. “I could make music around her, which was crazy. I was looking through songs the other day and found one that I made with her. I was like, ‘Man, that was so cool.'”
“But the fact of me saying that — of being uncomfortable being alone — that’s a bad thing. So, I decided to just be alone for a while.” The couple had previously confirmed their relationship at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in 2022. Fike opened up about his struggles with codependency in relationships and expressed that he is currently done being in relationships. This breakup marks a significant turning point in Fike’s personal life, though he doesn’t see it affecting his future on the set of “Euphoria.” Despite the split, Fike remains optimistic and is looking forward to continuing to work with Schafer on their hit show.

This breakup also sheds light on Fike’s struggles with codependency. In a recent interview, he admitted that his codependent tendencies had caused problems in his previous relationships.
