In July 2023, Dominic Fike confirmed in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that he and Hunter Schafer had called it quits after more than a year of dating. “I’m just done being in relationships right now,” the “Mama’s Boy” singer argued, while opening up about his struggles with codependency. Fike elaborated, “That has actually bled into my romantic relationships, that kind of dynamic. And it is often the cause of the end of my relationships.”
When discussing his romance with Schafer with the Los Angeles Times, Fike insinuated that it was he who called things off. The “Euphoria” star began by reminiscing about their fondest moments together, sharing, “I could make music around her, which was crazy,” without directly naming Schafer. “I was looking through songs the other day and found one that I made with her. I was like, ‘Man, that was so cool.” (Fun fact: He wrote “Mama’s Boy” for Schafer.)
However, the actor ultimately decided he was better off flying solo, at least for a while. During his chat with Lowe, Fike also touched on their split while considering filming Season 3 of “Euphoria” with Schafer. “I think it’ll be fine,” Fike reasoned, after noting that he gets along with everyone. Well, almost. “We’re all adults, kind of,” the actor notably added. “I’m trying.”
