An Exhaustive List Of Exes At The 2023 Met Gala

Cute couples ruled the 2023 Met Gala — but so did exes.

by Sophia June

There’s an old Tweet that asks a simple question: If all your exes were in one room, could they figure out how why they’re all there? At a place like the Met Gala, this question becomes confounded: After all, there are too many sets of exes in such a small place. Hollywood, as a concept, is tiny and incestuous. If you’re single, your dating pool might be more limited if you’re famous — not everyone is going to be cool with paps stationed outside of their apartments — but it will also include, um, Robert Pattinson and Emily Ratajkowski. (Seems like a fair tradeoff!)

At a place like the Met Gala, you could make a bulletin board chart worth the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia meme. So we did. (Kind of.) Here is a quick guide to all the exes at this year’s Met Gala.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart

Robert Pattinson attended the Met with long-term girlfriend Suki Waterhouse, but his ex Kirsten Stewart was also in attendance, along with Liberty Ross, whose ex-husband Rupert Sanders had an affair with Stewart in 2012.
