Over a year after Euphoria’s Hunter Schafer and Dominic Fike broke up, the actress detailed how the singer’s alleged infidelity led to their relationship’s demise. 

Hunter Schafer is sharing why a past flame burned out. 

Over a year after her and Euphoria costar Dominic Fike’s breakup in April 2023, the Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes actress said that it was his infidelity during their relationship that led to them parting ways. 

“Part of why the relationship ended is because I got cheated on for the first time,” Hunter recalled on the Aug. 7 episode of Call Her Daddy. “It’s part of my truth, but that fundamentally changed me as a person.”

After the 25-year-old—who noted that Dominic, 28, was the first cis, straight-identifying man she’d ever dated—found out about her former partner’s infidelity, she admitted she blamed herself at first. 

“As a trans woman, with a man who has never dated that [type of person] before,” she emphasized. “Because of the way I’ve been socialized as a trans woman, it’s been this crux in my life of what life has been so hard sometimes, I was like, ‘Oh, god is this it? Can I just not?’”

But looking back at the situation, Hunter was able to realize it had nothing to do with her. 

“It has everything to do with that person,” the Kinds of Kindness star added of cheating in general, “and whatever kind of pain they’re in or whatever they’re dealing with.”

Hunter—who also called her year-long romance the “3 Nights” singer her first monogamous relationship—said that she suspected Dominic had been unfaithful ahead of their breakup. 

“You always know,” she added, admitting she looked through Dominic’s phone for confirmation. “Because I knew, I went to the phone—which I’m not proud of.”

But despite the alleged cheating, Hunter looks back at her past with Dominic fondly. 

“It was one of the cleaner breakups I’ve had,” she said. “We both recognized that ‘This is not working and we can’t do this. We gotta go our own separate ways.’ It was so hard. We loved each other. He was a really special person.”

And overall, Hunter is proud Dominic was her first partner in the public eye. As she put it, “He saw me exactly as who I was, which was amazing.”

E! News has reached out to reps for Dominic, who had no comment. 

The Aftermath of a Relationship: Lessons Learned and Moving Forward

Despite the breakup, Schafer’s candid reflection on the experience has sparked conversation about the complexities of navigating relationships in the public eye, particularly for those who identify as LGBTQ+. In a time where social media has become a dominant force in shaping narratives and perceptions, Schafer’s honest account sheds light on the emotional toll of public scrutiny. She gracefully navigates the discussion with a mix of vulnerability and resilience, acknowledging the challenges while highlighting the importance of personal growth and self-acceptance.

The Future of Romance: The Public Eye and Personal Growth

While Schafer expresses uncertainty about future public relationships, she remains steadfast in her commitment to personal growth and self-discovery. She recognizes the need to address past experiences, particularly the impact of being socialized as a trans woman in a world that often struggles to understand and embrace gender diversity. Her journey is a testament to the power of vulnerability and self-reflection, serving as a reminder that growth and healing can emerge even from the most challenging of experiences.

Schafer’s narrative is a powerful testament to the human experience—a complex tapestry woven with threads of love, loss, and self-discovery. It highlights the importance of embracing vulnerability, seeking understanding, and ultimately, finding strength in the aftermath of heartbreak. 

In the wake of her public revelation, Schafer continues to inspire others with her authenticity and unwavering dedication to her craft. As she navigates the intricacies of personal growth and the demanding world of entertainment, her story serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, there is always room for hope and healing.
