As of now, the Stranger Things star and musician (aka Djo) is not publicly dating anyone. That hasn’t stopped fans from wondering who he’s been romantically linked to over the years.

2017–2023: Maika Monroe

Keery’s most prominent public romance was with actress Maika Monroe. The pair reportedly started dating in 2017 while filming After Everything, shortly after Keery’s breakout role as Steve Harrington.

Although they kept much of their relationship private, the couple made several red carpet appearances together, including the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in 2022.

In a 2021 GQ interview, Keery reflected on dating another industry professional: “Over quarantine, we spent so much time together… she understands the industry, but doesn’t take it too seriously,” he said.

Their split rumors began in October 2023 after TMZ shared photos of Monroe with Dalton Gomez. Keery later confirmed a “big breakup” in 2024, without naming names, noting it occurred just before filming Fargo season 5.

2024–2025: Chase Sui Wonders?

After his split from Monroe, Keery was rumoured to be linked to I Know What You Did Last Summer star Chase Sui Wonders. Paparazzi spotted them walking together in New York City in October 2023 and again in early 2024.
