Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber, a couple who captured public attention with their high-profile appearances and discreet romance, have ended their relationship after three years. The split reportedly occurred amicably at the close of 2024, with sources indicating that the relationship had simply “run its course.”
The couple’s relationship began in late 2021, following Gerber’s breakup with actor Jacob Elordi. Their romance was confirmed in March 2022 when they attended a W Magazine party together, followed by a notable appearance at the Met Gala in May 2022.
Throughout their time together, Butler and Gerber maintained a balance between public appearances and personal privacy. They were seen together at various events, including the premieres of Butler’s films “Elvis” and “Dune: Part Two,” and Gerber was a supportive presence during the 2022-2023 awards season, where Butler received critical acclaim for his portrayal of Elvis Presley.
Despite their public outings, both emphasized the importance of keeping their personal lives private. In a February 2024 interview, Gerber expressed her desire to keep certain aspects of her life “as sacred as possible,” highlighting the couple’s commitment to discretion.
Speculation about their relationship status arose in late 2024 when fans noticed a lack of recent public appearances together. These rumors were briefly quelled in October 2024 when the couple was spotted holding hands during a date night in New York City.
However, as the year drew to a close, Gerber was seen celebrating the New Year with her family in Cabo San Lucas, notably without Butler, further fueling breakup speculations.
Prior to their relationship, both had notable romantic histories. Gerber dated “Euphoria” actor Jacob Elordi, while Butler was in a long-term relationship with actress Vanessa Hudgens, which ended in January 2020.
As they move forward separately, both Butler and Gerber have promising projects on the horizon. Gerber is set to star in the Amazon series “Overcompensating,” while Butler is involved in a remake of “American Psycho.”
While the end of their relationship marks the conclusion of a significant chapter, both continue to make strides in their respective careers, with fans eagerly anticipating their future endeavors.
