Multiple outlets including People and TMZ reported the news on Tuesday, January 7, that Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber have split after three years of dating. TMZ reported that they called it quits at the end of 2024, and Butler was absent from Gerber’s recent family vacation.
Relationship Timeline
The Elvis actor, 33, was first linked to Gerber, 23, in December 2021 after they were seen attending a yoga class together. Us Weekly confirmed at the time they were “low-key dating” after their respective splits from Vanessa Hudgens and Jacob Elordi.
Two months later, Butler and Gerber were photographed in Paris on Valentine’s Day, cuddled up under an umbrella in the rain.
It wasn’t until the 2022 Met Gala in May that the pair stepped out for their first red carpet as a couple. They celebrated the Gilded Age theme in style, with Gerber wearing a metallic Alexander McQueen gown and Butler in a black Prada suit.
Throughout 2022, Butler and Gerber continued to grow close. The following year, they became more visible with their romance, attending various events together.
Family Approval
A source exclusively told Us in September 2023 that Butler and Gerber were going strong and that Kaia’s parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, approved of the relationship. “Kaia loves that her family gets along so well with Austin,” the insider claimed.
Recent Events
In June 2024, Kaia was once again by Butler’s side as he celebrated the Los Angeles premiere of The Bikeriders. However, as the year progressed, the couple was seen less frequently together at public events.
By November 2024, Kaia was attending events solo, and Butler also made appearances by himself, as seen at the SFFILM Awards Night in San Francisco.
