Dominic Fike has intensified speculation that he and Hunter Schafer have rekindled their romance after appearing to refer to the Euphoria star as his 'girlfriend' during a recent show.

While introducing 'Great Pretender', Fike reportedly said he wrote the song about his 'girlfriend' before adding, 'I used to not be able to say that'. The apparent change in wording has fuelled fresh speculation about the former couple's relationship status.

The moment was highlighted by the verified Instagram account The Tisch, which said Fike 'appeared to confirm' that he and Schafer are back together. The post also pointed to recent sightings of the former couple in Chicago and Seattle. Neither Fike nor Schafer has publicly confirmed a reconciliation.

Dominic Fike's 'Girlfriend' Comment Sparks Reunion Speculation

The latest development centres on Fike's introduction to 'Great Pretender', a track from his Rocket project.

In footage circulating online, Fike can be heard saying he wrote the song about his 'girlfriend' before adding that he previously could not say that. The second remark has drawn particular attention because it appears to suggest a change in the relationship status he was describing.

Fike did not name the woman in the remarks. The comment was nevertheless linked to Schafer because fans have associated 'Great Pretender' with their past relationship and the former couple have recently been seen together.

The Tisch similarly connected the moment to Schafer, writing that Fike 'appeared to confirm' their reunion. The account's wording stops short of treating the remark as an official confirmation.

Hunter Schafer and Dominic Fike Were Recently Spotted Together

The apparent onstage admission follows a series of sightings that had already reignited speculation about the former couple.

Schafer was reportedly seen at Fike's 27 August concert at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom. Reports subsequently placed the pair together in Chicago before they were reportedly spotted again in Seattle around Fike's performance there.

Social-media footage from Seattle also prompted online claims that the pair appeared to kiss. That interpretation has not been independently confirmed, but the footage added to speculation that their interactions may have become romantic again.

The sightings have given added context to speculation that Fike's 'girlfriend' reference could have been about Schafer.

Fike Previously Said He Would Try Again

The latest development also follows Fike's recent comments about his former relationships.

Fike has said that he does not 'move on' from people he has dated and indicated that he would like to try again with an ex. He did not identify Schafer when making those remarks.

Those comments have gained renewed attention following his apparent 'girlfriend' reference and the former couple's recent sightings. While they do not establish that he was referring to Schafer, they add context to the speculation surrounding the former couple.

Hunter Schafer and Dominic Fike's Relationship History

Fike and Schafer met while working on Euphoria Season 2, where they played Elliot and Jules. They began dating in 2022 and made their relationship public before splitting in 2023.

Schafer later said during a 2024 appearance on Call Her Daddy that being cheated on was part of the reason the relationship ended. She also described their separation as a mutual 'clean parting'.

Neither Fike nor Schafer has publicly confirmed that they have resumed their relationship, leaving the 'girlfriend' remark and their recent sightings as the latest developments fuelling reunion speculation.
