Although once lauded as the Internet's favorite man of the moment, actor Joe Keery of Stranger Things fame has taken on a new reputation—ultra-cool indie musician. Chances are if you've spent any time online in the past five years, you've seen him as It boy Steve Harrington in Stranger Things or heard his hit song, "End of Beginning" on your TikTok feed. Keery, who is beloved by millions for his portrayal of the laid-back, loveable Steve Harrington, didn't have to step too far outside of his natural personality for the role and has amassed a similar fanbase around his music career and charismatic persona. 

Curious to see who the latest Joe Keery girlfriend is that the Internet is abuzz about? Join L'OFFICIEL as we dive into the dating history of Joe Keery, Stranger Things star. 

Joe Keery and Chase Sui Wonders

Joe Keery and Chase Sui Wonders first sparked dating rumors in October of 2023 when eyewitnesses spotted the pair out and about in New York City, walking arm in arm. Since then, the two have continuously been spotted by fans on various occasions, including casual movie nights, picnics, and dinner dates. Given that Keery does not maintain a social media presence outside of his band, Djo, and its Instagram account, and tends to be fairly private about his life off-screen, it comes as no surprise to longtime fans and newcomers alike that he has not spoken out about his fairly new relationship. 

Prior to their romance, both Keery and Sui Wonders had just exited fairly long-term relationships, with Maika Monroe and Pete Davidson, respectively, so wanting to take it slow during the early stages of a relationship between two public figures is an increasingly popular move when it comes to the way celebrities are navigating the dating world in an age of non-stop social media and seemingly incessant paparazzi photographs. 

Joe Keery and Maika Monroe

Joe Keery Stranger Things star dated Maika Monroe—who you may recognize from films like Hot Summer Nights, Watcher, and It Follows—from 2017 to 2022, during which time the couple attended plenty of events, ranging from the Academy Awards to the front rows of fashion shows. 

In a 2021 GQ interview, Keery shared a bit of insight into his relationship, including the difficulties of scheduling time to hang out with a partner who also happens to be a fellow actor. "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," Keery said. "But yeah, I think she's like me. She doesn't take it all too seriously." 

In the same interview, Keery shared that at the time, his one wardrobe staple—besides his famous hair—was a necklace given to him by Monroe. When the Stranger Things star was photographed without it on in 2022, fans sensed that the pair had split, a hunch further strengthened by the sudden lack of photos of the couple out at events together. As if the photos of Maika Monroe with Dalton Gomez, Ariana Grande's ex-husband, that surfaced in October of 2023 weren't enough to signal a split, Keery subtly confirmed that the two parted ways in a June 2024 interview with Varietywhere he quickly mentioned "a big breakup" that he was forced to move past in order to get on with his work on-screen, seemingly alluding to the Joe Keery Maika Monroe breakup that the Internet had been quietly simmering about for months.
