Maika – who is known for starring in projects such as It Follows – was last romantically linked to Stranger Things actor Joe Currie.
The pair have been together since 2017, however, speculations surfaced that the two were no longer together last year in September after Joe dropped an album titled Decide.
One song, Go For It, contained lyrics that seemed to hint at a possible breakup, such as “One week and four years, you know my ways, I know your fears/ But then there’s a misunderstanding, but what will it take to hear that go out?’
Monroe and Curry were also last spotted attending the Vanity Fair Oscar party together in March 2022. A few months later, the actress was absent from the premiere of Stranger Things season four – which she has attended in the past.

Despite the couple’s divorce being finalized, a source informed the tabloid that there is no bad blood between Ariana and Gomez – who wed in 2021.
“There is still a strong mutual love and respect between Ariana and Dalton and they wanted to make sure everything was done right,” the insider said.
The former Nickelodeon star filed for divorce last month on Sept. 18 — and so did Dalton on the same day.
In documents previously obtained by TMZ, Ariana’s attorney, Laura Wasser, cited the reason for their divorce as “irreconcilable differences” and listed the separation date as February 20, 2023.
Sources told the outlet that everything was “worked out” between the former couple “before going to court” and added that the actress plans to “cut Dalton a check” to officially end the marriage.
The couple separately filed for divorce months after the stated divorce date, and an insider explained to TMZ that the reason was so they could ‘iron out the details and settle.’
According to the source, Grande and Gomez “hold no hard feelings” and added that they “have really cared and respected each other through every step of this process.”
The Grammy winner and the real estate agent first started dating in January 2020, and the couple got engaged in December of the same year.

A source close to the couple told DailyMail.com at the time of the breakup news that “Ariana and Dalton have nothing but respect for each other. They are still friends and want to stay that way moving forward.’
“There was no cheating, there was no anger between them, the marriage just didn’t work out.” These things happen,” the insider added.
In August, he informed a separate source Us Weekly that Dalton was ‘learning to accept’ his split with Grande.
“It’s been a while since Ariana and Dalton split, but he’s getting used to his new normal and learning to accept it for what it is,” an insider told the outlet.
“It’s certainly not how he expected things to play out because he obviously assumed they’d be together forever.”
The source added that Gomez “never imagined that she would go through a divorce in the public eye.” But he is holding on and is grateful for his friends and family who have been really supportive.’
While Dalton has reportedly moved on, the Into You singer is also continuing her romance with Wicked co-star Ethan Slater – who also filed for divorce from his wife Lily J in July, leaving her “broken”. ‘
The two originally got married in 2018 and were high school sweethearts. In August 2022, the couple welcomed their first baby together – a son.
