Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber have reportedly split after nearly three years of dating. Multiple sources confirm that the couple ended their relationship by the end of 2024, before Kaia rang in the new year on a trip to Cabo, Mexico, during which Austin was noticeably absent from her beach photos in early January.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in December 2021 when they were spotted together at a yoga studio. Their relationship speculations were further fueled when Kaia, the 23-year-old daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Randy Gerber, shared a car with Austin to Los Angeles International Airport ahead of the holidays. By February 2022, a source close to Kaia told E! News that she was “not seeing anyone else besides Austin,” and described their relationship as “effortless” and “low-key.”
They went public with their romance in May 2022, making their red carpet debut as a couple at the Met Gala. Before dating Austin, Kaia was in a one-year relationship with Euphoria actor Jacob Elordi, and they broke up in November 2021, just before she was first spotted with Austin. As for Austin, he had been in a nearly nine-year relationship with actress Vanessa Hudgens before they broke up in early 2020.
The news of Austin and Kaia’s breakup marks the end of a highly publicized and adored Hollywood romance. However, both are expected to continue their careers in the entertainment industry moving forward.
