Euphoria Star Hunter Schafer Opens Up About Past Relationships and Gender Identity
Emmy-nominated actress Hunter Schafer from HBO‘s hit series ‘Euphoria‘ has recently shed light on her personal life, revealing details about her past romantic relationships and her evolving stance on discussing her gender identity in the media.
Schafer confirmed in a recent interview that she dated Spanish artist Rosalía for five months in 2019, before the two decided to part ways. Despite the breakup, Schafer described Rosalía as ‘family’ and emphasized the significance of maintaining strong friendships with former partners.
The actress also shared insights about her relationship with ‘Euphoria’ co-star and ex-boyfriend, Dominik Fike, whom she met while filming the show’s second season. Reflecting on their time together, Schafer acknowledged that the experience helped her navigate past negative experiences with men and allowed her to break down emotional barriers she had built.
Schafer further delved into the topic of her gender identity, expressing deliberate efforts to steer conversations away from being solely focused on her trans identity. She emphasized her reluctance to take on strictly trans roles in her career and addressed the responsibility and guilt she feels for not being a more vocal advocate within the transgender community.
Despite her notable status as a prominent trans figure in the entertainment industry, Schafer expressed her belief that transcending the ‘trans’ label in her work would propel her career forward and contribute more meaningfully to broader discussions surrounding gender identity.
