Joe Keery was making the headlines in 2021 for his performance as the nerdy game developer Walter ‘Keys’ McKey in the action-comedy movie Free Guy. And now, he is back with the thing that made him known to the world.

The thing here is Netflix’s original series Stranger Things in which Keery portrays the role of Steve Harrington. He has reprised his character once again in the Stranger Things season four Volume one — which was released on Friday, May 27, 2022.

Fans have been loving Keery’s performance as the guy who is unlucky with women, babysits kids, and occasionally saves the world. However, when it comes to the actor in real life, one among those three things doesn’t apply — the unlucky with women one.

In fact, Keery has been in a long-term relationship with his lovely girlfriend Maika Monroe. Here is a look at the couple’s relationship!

Joe Keery and Maika Monroe met at a party in Los Angeles

Occasionally when a person goes to hang out at a Los Angeles-based party, they might not have the idea that they would meet someone who would become an integral part of their lives. Keery might have thought the same before going to a certain party in 2017.

Sometime in 2017, the American actor went to attend a party in Los Angeles. There, he went on to meet his future girlfriend Maika Monroe. After their first meeting and hanging out together for a while, they felt connected and eventually started dating.

However, their relationship is quite private, to this date, which could also be seen on their respective social media handles. Since they started dating, they have kept things under the wraps, but not on all occasions as they would occasionally step out together, such as a normal outing or a grand event.

On October 26, 2017, they went public with their relationship as they walked down the premiere of Stranger Things season two. The tradition continued as Keery and Monroe walked side by side during the premiere of season three of the Netflix hit show on June 28, 2019.

Later, when the world shut down due to the global pandemic, the duo would wind up together in their residence in California. During his conversation with GQ Magazine in August 2021, Keery talked about the moment he and his partner spent during the pandemic.

He said, “Over quarantine, it was like we spent so much time together, which was rare. I mean, that’s one of the disadvantages of dating someone else in the industry.”

“There are advantages as well: somebody who kind of understands what’s going on with you in a pretty deep way. But yeah, I think she’s like me. She doesn’t take it all too seriously,” he added.

Similarly, the actor talked about the gold necklace that his partner gifted him. “I found it while we were traveling, and then it busted. For Christmas, she got it remade for me.”

After that, there have been numerous other occasions where the couple has been snapped together, such as in New York City, at a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game, and Saint Laurent pre-Oscars event.

Keery and Monroe’s most recent public appearance was on March 27, 2022, when they showed up at the Vanity Fair Oscar party. Going by all that, it’s fair to say that the couple’s relationship is still going strong and we can expect to see more of them in the near future.

Joe Keery’s dating history

As of this writing, there have been no reports of the actor dating someone in the past. It’s due to the result of Keery’s privacy which he has tightly maintained around his personal life.

Who is Joe Keery’s girlfriend?

Like himself, Keery’s present girlfriend is involved in the entertainment industry. Maika Monroe is an American actress who is best known for her works in multiple horror movies.

Some of the horror-genre movies she has worked in include It Follows, The Guest, Tau, and Greta. Besides, for her performance in the 2014’s It Follows, she even won multiple awards and got nominated for an Empire Award.

Some other movies she has appeared in are At Any Price, Labor Day, Independence Day: Resurgence, Hot Summer Nights, After Everything, Villains, Brothers by Blood, and Watcher. After Everything is the 2018 movie in which co-starred alongside her boyfriend, Keery.

As for her TV shows, she has mainly starred in one TV show only: 2020’s The Stranger. Other than that, he has had minor roles in two TV shows: Eleventh Hour and JJ Villard’s Fairy Tales — she has only played three TV shows in her career.

Born on May 29, 1993, in Santa Barbara, California, Monroe goes by the full name of Dillon Monroe Buckley. Her parents are Jack Buckley, a construction worker, and Dixie, a sign language interpreter.

Maggie Q’s Married Life — Meet ‘Ballard’ Star’s Husband and Kids

Maggie Q, known for her bold performances in hit shows like Nikita, Designated Survivor, and the recent series Ballard, has long captivated audiences with her action-packed roles and sharp on-screen presence.

But beyond the spotlight and red carpets, fans have been curious about her personal life, particularly her relationships, marriage, and whether the Hollywood star has any kids.

After years of speculation and privacy, the actress finally confirmed in 2025 that she is officially married, ending a long stretch of mystery surrounding her love life.

So, who is Maggie Q’s husband? And does she have any children? Let’s take a closer look into the married life of the Ballard star.

Maggie Q is now a married woman

After keeping her relationship status under wraps for years, Maggie confirmed on July 9, 2025 that she is married now to Curtis Macnguyen. The confirmation came during an interview on Live! with Kelly & Mark where she opened up about meeting her husband and how their connection grew over time.

On the show, she revealed that her friends knew he was the perfect one for her before she realized that. She stated, “You know what’s funny? My friends and the people around me knew he was the one before I knew he was.”

“And I was just, to be very honest and not to be a cheese ball, I was just appreciating him as a person. I just thought he was very generous and caring and kind and you know, he had all these qualities and I just remember thinking this is one of the most wonderful people I know and that was enough for me.”

“So, it wasn’t like, I didn’t need anything more from him. It was a friend. It felt good to know somebody who was real and good, you know, and that was it. I had no expectation. And I think that’s when it happens, you know, when you don’t think something’s going to happen,” she concluded.

In another exclusive with People Magazine, the 46-year-old actress concluded explained why she occasionally sleeps separately from Curtis. She said, “There’s nothing better in the morning than a cuddle to show how much you love your person.”

“The first thing I think when I open my eyes is, ‘Is my partner lonely?’ Sometimes my partner snores. I don’t want to sleep separately, but sometimes you can’t handle the noise. In the morning, I go back to him and give him a hug and make him feel loved,” she added.

Before this confirmation, fans had speculated about her love life for a while as Maggie maintained a low profile in the following years. In a 2022 interview with People, she hinted at being in a serious relationship but avoided naming her partner.

At the time, she said she felt “lucky” to be with someone who genuinely cared about her well-being — someone who prioritized her emotional and physical health more than she did herself. That mystery was later identified as Curtis, a former hedge fund manager.

This reveal came when the couple made their red carpet debut in May 2022 at the Berggruen Prize Gala. Since then, there weren’t much noise about the actress’s love life, until July 2025 when she revealed she shared the wedding vows with her boyfriend.

As of now, the details of the couple’s wedding ceremony as well as their dating life have been kept under the wraps.

Who Is Maggie Q’s Husband, Curtis Macnguyen?

Curtis Macnguyen, Maggie Q’s now-confirmed husband, is far from a Hollywood regular. According to reports, he is a successful businessman and founder of Ivory Investment Management, a hedge fund based in California.

Unlike many celebrity relationships, Curtis and Maggie have kept their personal lives incredibly private. They rarely appear in public together, and even Maggie’s social media has stayed relatively quiet about their romance.

Curtis, like Maggie, is also of Vietnamese descent, which has reportedly helped them bond over shared cultural values and upbringing. Despite not being involved in the entertainment industry, he’s known to be incredibly supportive of Maggie’s acting career.

During her 2025 interview, Maggie revealed that their relationship started on a foundation of friendship, and over time, it blossomed into something much deeper. She praised Curtis for his emotional intelligence and how he “completely shifted” her perspective on what a healthy partnership looks like.

Does Maggie Q Have Any Kids?

While Maggie Q is now happily married, she has no children as of 2025. In several past interviews, she has openly discussed her views on parenthood. While she hasn’t ruled out the possibility of having kids in the future, she has emphasized that she doesn’t feel societal pressure to start a family unless it’s something she and her partner genuinely want.

That said, fans remain curious about whether children might be on the horizon for the newlyweds. Given how private Maggie is, any updates would likely come directly from her when — and if — she’s ready to share.

Furthermore, the American star doesn’t share any kids with her former fiance, Dylan McDermott. Maggie and Dylan first met each other in early 2014 on the sets of Stalker, and the now-former couple announced their engagement on January 14, 2015.

In their July 2017 interview with Closer Weekly, they mentioned that they weren’t in any rush to share the wedding vows. Unfortunately, less than two years later, in February 2019, Maggie and Dylan called off their engagement and broke up.

K-pop idols are known for keeping their dating history private and rarely talking about it.

Most of the time, their talking about their girlfriend or boyfriend has led them into career-breaking scandals. As a result, they keep their dating life out of the spotlight.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER, aka TXT’s Yeonjun, is the same. To date, he has not talked about his dating history or if he has a girlfriend.

PLEASE CALM DOWN pic.twitter.com/MBHF6aasjI

His dating history is unknown as well since he has never revealed if he has dated anyone in the past. So generally, his fans and followers believe that he is single. 

That being said, he has been rumored to be dating fellow K-pop idol, Yunjin from LE SSERAFIM. Here is all we know.

Is Yunjin Yeonjun’s girlfriend?

At the time of writing, neither Yeonjun nor Yunjin have talked about their dating history. They have never admitted to being in a relationship.

However, some netizens noticed signs that led them to believe that Yunjin was Yeonjun’s girlfriend. In January 2023, they were eager to ship the two stars together after discovering the alleged evidence of their relationship, which was supposedly stolen from Yunjin’s private Spotify account.

The account, titled ‘Huh Yunjin,’ had some songs she had previously suggested to admirers. The dating allegations were fueled by a sketch used as her profile photo, which depicted a girl and boy who looked very similar to Yunjin and Yeonjun, donning clothing and hair colors they’ve both worn in the past.

The painting has elements that are true to the artists’ original style in real life as well. Yeonjun was drawn precisely as he appeared with his blue hair and several piercings. 

Yunjin, for her part, presented a photograph of herself together with her gold earrings. Yunjin’s doodle mirrored her own designs used in music videos for self-produced songs such as ‘I ≠ DOLL’ and ‘Love You Twice.’

Not only this, netizens noticed how close Yeonjun and his alleged girlfriend were on Hybe’s Fifteen Nights on a Business Trip. Both Yeonjun’s group, TXT, and Yunjin’s group, LE SSERAFIM, belong to the same label, Hybe.

So, when they were playing games, netizens noted subtle signs and claimed that the duo were dating. For instance, when all the idols were lining up, Yeonjun allegedly tried to come behind Yunjin.

But in the end, Kazuha, Yunjin’s fellow team member from LE SSERAFIM, came behind her. But Yunjin let Kazuha go in front of her in the line, and she ended up standing beside her alleged boyfriend.

These are the two major pieces of evidence that netizens have claimed to support the dating history between Yeonjun and his supposed girlfriend. Even though the rumor started in January 2023, it has continued to this date.

Whenever there is a dating rumor of an unnamed K-pop idol, many netizens believe that it is of Yeonjun and Yunjin, and at times, the rumors have spread around like wildfire. MOA and FEARNOT, the fanbase of TXT and LE SSERAFIM, respectively, have always defended the idols.

They contended that a Spotify account cannot be used to determine the authenticity of allegations. They believe it is simpler to combine them as labelmates rather than create a fake dating history between the duo.

Most of the MOA and FEARNOT have taken a neutral attitude, requesting that people not speculate on their personal lives and leave them alone. However, some of them believe that it is a plot against TXT’s Yeonjun and Yunjin, as the former is set to come back shortly, and LE SSERAFIM is growing in popularity.

They also noticed a pattern that whenever TXT is having a comeback, there are rumors and dating scandals about Yeonjun having a girlfriend. For instance, in January 2023, they announced their comeback, their fifth EP, The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION, which was released on January 27, 2023.

At the time of writing, in March 2024, TXT announced its first comeback of the year. At the same time, the rumors of Yeonjun dating and having a girlfriend are at an all-time high.

TXT’s return mini-album, Minisode 3: Tomorrow, will be released on April 1 at 6 p.m. KST/5 a.m. ET. Minisode 3: Tomorrow will be the group’s sixth extended play release since their debut.

TXT’s Yeonjun’s bio 

Yeonjun is a South Korean singer-songwriter and rapper signed to Big Hit Music. He is a member of the boy group TXT. 

Yeonjun auditioned for Big Hit Music (formerly Big Hit Entertainment) with BTS’s song ‘Boy In Luv.’ After his success, Big Hit hired him as a trainee in 2014.

His training time of five years, from 2014-2019, is the longest among all Big Hit performers. This includes his TXT teammates.

Before joining Big Hit, Yeonjun was a Cube Entertainment trainee. Yeonjun was announced as the first member of TXT on January 10, 2019, when he released a teaser video on YouTube.

TXT, which includes Yeonjun, comprises of five members: Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai. They made their debut on March 4, 2019, with The Dream Chapter: Star, an EP. 

The EP debuted and peaked at number one on the Gaon Album Chart and the Billboard World Albums Chart, and it reached the US Billboard 200 at number 140, making it the highest-charting debut album by a male K-pop group at the time. Its main single ‘Crown’ debuted at number one on the Billboard World Digital Songs list. 

Since then, they have broken many records as their fanbase grows bigger every year. Apart from TXT, Yeonjun has built a name for himself. 

It was reported on December 29, 2020, that he would play a cameo part in the last episode of the South Korean series Live On, which aired on January 12, 2021. He was confirmed on October 4, 2021, to be featured on the song ‘Blockbuster’ from ENHYPEN’s debut studio album DIMENSION: DILEMMA, which was released on October 12, 2021.

Yeonjun, along with his group member Taehyun, participated in the American singer Salem Ilese’s current track ‘PS5,’ which was released on her latest EP Unsponsored Content on February 23, 2022.

Yanet Garcia and Boyfriend Lewis Howes Break Up: What Went Wrong and Her New Partner

Former Mexican weathercaster Yanet Garcia and her long-time boyfriend Lewis Howes, an American author, allegedly had broken up.

In the past few weeks, rumors have been circulating that Garcia and Howes have ended theirs over two years-long romance. But, it now seems that the gossips are very much true.

Garcia Has Deleted Every Post Related to Howes

It looks like the glamorous model is trying to remove every aspect of her former lover from her life. And, one of the major things she has done for that is deleting every picture she has shared alongside him on her social media handles.

Ever since Garcia and Howes began dating, both of them were very open about their relationship. They usually shared pictures alongside each other, wish on each other’s birthdays, celebrate Valentine’s Day, and so on.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CNioxlIhedK/

But, now that they are no longer together, Garcia has been removing every memory from her social media handles, except the one from her 30th birthday. As for Garcia’s now ex-boyfriend [Howes], it seems as if he is keeping those memories.

Unlike Garcia, Howes has not deleted any of those pictures from his social media handles, mainly on his Instagram handle. If we look into his Instagram, the pictures of the duo from their dating anniversary and several other occasions can be clearly seen.

The last time the podcast host shared a picture alongside Garcia was on April 11, 2021, while they were in Malibu, California. Before that, on March 17, he had wished her on the occasion of her birthday.

The Reason behind Their Split

When Garcia and Howes began dating and their relationship was made public, many believed that their bond was strong and would stay together for a long time. However, that didn’t happen.

While there are many reasons for a relationship to end, Garcia and Howes’ togetherness ended due to quite the bizarre reason. It all started in April when the Mexican model joined OnlyFans, a content subscription service.

Howes was unhappy with her joining OnlyFans. Later, it seems like the same topic became the reason behind their separation. Their separation was confirmed when one follower of Garcia asked if she has a boyfriend, and she declined it.

Currently, it is reported that Garcia is living in New York, where she works as a certified health coach and also does photo sessions for her OnlyFans account.

Garcia Might Have Found New Boyfriend

As per some reports, Garcia has already found a new boyfriend. It is believed that she is in a relationship with Dr. Mike Varshavski, better known as Dr. Mike.

Mike is a specialist in family medicine and an internet personality with over 4 million followers on his Instagram handle. He was even named as ‘The Sexiest Doctor Alive’ in People magazine’s 2015 issue.

Although there is no official confirmation of the two’s romance, they follow each other on Instagram and even liked their Instagram pictures. Only time will tell if there is any romance between them.
