Serena Williams sparked new speculation about her longtime friendship with Meghan Markle after appearing at the Met Gala with fashion figures Emma Thynn and Edward Enninful. Williams attended the New York fundraiser hosted by Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sanchez, in a silver metallic gown. She spent much of the night posing with Thynn and Enninful. And this detail quickly caught the attention of royal fans and celebrity watchers online.
Meghan Markle’s bond with Serena Williams has come to an end, per source
The Met Gala took place on May 4 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year’s theme was “Costume Art,” with a dress code of “Fashion is Art.” Anna Wintour once again led the event. One person who was noticeably missing from the evening was Meghan Markle. She did not attend the Met Gala or any of the event’s major gatherings.
“At a night like the Met Gala, nothing about who you stand beside is accidental,” the insider claimed to RadarOnline. The source added that Serena Williams’ appearance alongside Emma Thynn and Edward Enninful naturally sparked conversations about shifting celebrity friendships. People think there could be more to it than just a coincidence.
“Serena choosing to spend so much time in close formation with Emma and Edward, both of whom have been linked to a cooling in their relationships with Meghan, inevitably reads as more than coincidence,” the insider shared. For years, Markle and Williams maintained one of the most high-profile celebrity friendships. The two publicly supported each other, attended events together, and frequently spoke warmly about their friendship in interviews.
“The visual narrative suggests a shift in loyalties, or at the very least a rebalancing of where those personal alliances now sit,” the source added. Williams sparked online speculation with her Met Gala appearance, as observers quickly pointed out. “You have to remember how intertwined Serena and Meghan’s public images once were,” the insider said. “So when Serena appears in such a high-profile setting and that connection is absent, replaced instead by other prominent friendships, people are going to read into it.”
