Why 'The Bear' star Jeremy Allen White wasn't at Emmys
What's the story
Jeremy Allen White, the acclaimed actor from The Bear, missed the 2025 Emmy Awards on Sunday night. According to Variety, he was attending his best friend's wedding instead of being at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. This absence meant his rumored girlfriend and co-star Molly Gordon walked the red carpet alone. This year, White was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as Carmy on FX's hit show The Bear.
