Love and Heartbreak: Coachella’s Most Famous Ex-Couples Uncovered!

by

It seems like music and love are always in the air at Coachella.

It’s not unexpected that the weekend finds couples dancing on the grassy grounds of the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, while enjoying performances by this year’s headliners such as Lady Gaga and Post Malone. However, the romantic atmosphere may not always carry over to the next festival.

At the event, celebrities are no exception. For a long time, fans have been given glimpses into enduring love stories, such as that of Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler, who were together from 2011 to 2020, or shorter-lived romances like Selena Gomez and The Weeknd’s 10-month relationship in 2017.

Regardless, the music festival served as a hotspot for witnessing celebrities’ fashion, friendships, and romantic entanglements – some of which ended prematurely, only to be revived in the arid landscape of California once more.

In the year of 2016, Kylie Jenner and Tyga went to a music festival together, prior to their split in March 2017. However, it was at the very same festival where Kylie later found love with her former partner, Travis Scott, who is now out of the picture.

In 2018, she shared that Coachella was one of his tour destinations in an interview with GQ. He subsequently announced that he was resuming his tour, and given their mutual fondness, she agreed to join him. (Travis is scheduled to headline the Saturday lineup at the 2025 festival.)

Initially, the ex-pair, parents to Stormi, aged 7, and Aire, 3, spent the early stages of their romance while touring together. Subsequently, they revealed Kylie’s pregnancy with their firstborn a few weeks later.

For Vanessa and Austin, known as the royal couple of Coachella due to their boho-chic outfits, the occasion provided an opportunity to bond with each other while also showcasing their individuality.

In simpler terms, the former High School Musical star expressed to TopMob News in 2022 that Coachella is a fantastic venue where she feels comfortable showing her individuality and self-expression. She also mentioned that it’s wonderful to be seen and accepted there. As they attended five festivals together during their relationship, this sentiment likely resonates with her past experiences at Coachella.
