On Monday November 29, Baby Driver star Ansel Elgort attended the premiere of his upcoming movie, West Side Story, with long-term girlfriend, Violetta Komyshan. The couple made a rare appearance, after their rumored split, at the red-carpet event at the Rose Theater and Jazz, Lincoln Center in New York.

The couple has rekindled their romance, as evident by the two posing for pictures at the event with their arms around each other. It was a rare appearance by Ansel and Violetta together, after they were last seen publicly in January 2020 at the Golden Globes after-party.
