Hunter Schafer reveals why her relationship with Dominic Fike ended after dating for more than a year

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hunter Schafer has revealed new details about the painful end of her relationship with 'Euphoria' co-star Dominic Fike.

In a candid conversation on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, Schafer, 25, disclosed that the breakup was triggered by Fike’s infidelity, which she discovered while going through his phone, as reported by Page Six.

Hunter Schafer shared that she had a “gut” feeling something was wrong and, although she’s “not proud” of it, decided to check Dominic Fike’s phone, where she uncovered the truth. “Part of why the relationship ended is because I got cheated on for the first time,” Schafer admitted, describing the experience as a turning point in her life.

The actress, who recently starred in 'The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,' explained that this betrayal deeply affected her, even though she recognized that the infidelity wasn’t her fault.

“It has everything to do with that person and whatever kind of pain they are in and whatever they are dealing with,” she reflected, emphasizing the challenge of coming to terms with the situation.

Schafer and Fike were first linked in January 2022, and their relationship marked several firsts for the actress—it was her first monogamous relationship and her first time dating a cis, straight-identifying man.

This added a layer of complexity to the breakup, as Schafer initially blamed herself and her gender identity for Fike’s actions. “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?’” she confessed.

Despite the hurt, Schafer emphasized that their breakup was ultimately mutual and one of the “cleaner” ones she has experienced. “We both recognized that this is not working and we can’t do this. We gotta go our own separate ways,” she said, noting that they still care deeply for each other. “It was so, so hard because we really loved each other. He is a really special person and I love his soul.”

While Schafer continues to process the experience, she expressed pride in having Fike as her first public partner, acknowledging that he accepted her for who she truly is. However, both stars have since recognized that they have personal growth to focus on, leading to their separation.

"He saw me exactly as who I was, which was amazing,” she said.
