When Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ended, Peter Quill and Gamora were an item. That continued into Avengers: Infinity War, where the team split up to try and stop Thanos from getting the Infinity Stones. However, to get the Soul Stone, Thanos was forced to sacrifice his daughter, Gamora, which Peter was obviously very, very upset about. So upset, in fact, he basically was responsible for half the galaxy being killed because he let his anger about Gamora’s death mess up the plan he and the Guardians had with Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange.

Nevertheless, Gamora was dead. Peter was sad. And then, due to the time travel in Avengers: Endgame, Gamora from a time BEFORE she met Peter Quill arrived. She jumped over that section of her life and ended up in the present. Peter sees this Gamora as the one who loved him—but she actually hasn’t even met him, much less had the chance to fall in love with him.

It’s that version of Gamora who helped defeat Thanos and then disappeared at the end of Avengers: Endgame. And it’s that Gamora, one that now only briefly knows Peter and the Guardians, who appears in Vol. 3.
