It might be a bittersweet reunion. Rauw Alejandro and Rosalía walked the Met Gala red carpet separately. The two music artists attended Fashion’s Biggest Night, and who knows if they’ll say hi to each other.
Rauw Alejandro wore a shimmering halter top with a white blazer. Rosalía wore a matte black Dior dress alongside a veil. The two walked the red carpet months after they announced that they had broken up and called off their engagement.
“When the news came out that neither of us wanted to announce our breakup, it was tough. We weren’t paying much attention to what was happening on social media because things were clear in our personal lives,” Alejandro shared in an interview with Chente Ydrach.
Rauw recalled the summer being “weird and intense,” since there was fake news of him cheating. “A lot of things came out, and nothing bad had ever come out about me. Unfortunately, we were born as men, and men already have a stigma, and I don’t judge it because we have a bad reputation,” he added.
In a statement written on his social media accounts, Rauw opened up about ending his engagement with Rosalía months before the news broke.
“Throughout all these years, you’ve been part of my professional accomplishments, as well as all the happy moments I lived with my partner,” Rauw wrote in Spanish. “I never thought I’d be in a position where I’d have to give a public statement about such a private matter in my life.”
“Yes, a few months ago, Rosi and I ended our engagement,” Rauw continued in his statement. “There are thousands of problems that can cause a breakup but, in our case, it was not because of infidelity or a third person. During this time that I’m taking to assimilate everything, there have been false public allegations, and because of the respect I have for her, our families and all we ever lived, I couldn’t stay quiet and continue to see how they try to destroy the most real love story God has ever allowed me to live. With nothing more to add, to my fans that I love so much, thank you for being there.”
Rosalía also posted a brief statement on her own Instagram story on July 27, 2023. “I love, respect and admire Rauw so much. Not even the movies, only ourselves know what we have lived through. In this moment it’s not easy, but thanks to the whole world for understanding and respecting”.
