The Kid LAROI and Tate McRae narrowly avoided a run-in at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night, marking their first public appearance at the same event since their reported breakup in July.
LAROI, born Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, walked the red carpet in a white tuxedo paired with a black shirt, shiny black shoes, and a silver watch. Later in the evening, McRae posed for photographers in a bold black leotard and stockings, smiling as she celebrated her wins for “Song of Summer” and “Best Editing.”
According to the Daily Mail, the sighting was a stark contrast to last year’s VMAs, when the couple was seen holding hands and getting cozy throughout the evening. At that time, LAROI had confirmed their relationship on stage during a concert in Ireland, following months of speculation.
Their split became apparent in July, with LAROI later assuring fans that the two had parted on “good terms.” The Canadian hitmaker and Australian rapper had previously shared romantic photos on social media, including a tropical getaway earlier this year with friends Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge.
