Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler, one of Hollywood’s most stylish couples, have ended their relationship after more than three years. Sources confirmed that the model and the Oscar-nominated actor quietly parted ways toward the end of 2024.
According to insiders, the breakup was amicable, with no animosity between the pair. “The relationship just simply ran its course,” a source shared, adding that the two remain on good terms.
Speculation about a split began after Butler was noticeably absent from Gerber’s family vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, over the New Year. Kaia, 23, was joined by her parents, supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, as well as her brother Presley and his girlfriend, model Isabella Jones. Austin’s absence from the trip raised eyebrows, leading to questions about the status of their relationship.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in December 2021 after being spotted attending a yoga session in Los Angeles. By March 2022, they made their red carpet debut at W Magazine’s Best Performances party and quickly became a beloved fixture at Hollywood events.
Over the years, Gerber and Butler shared memorable moments, including attending the 2022 Met Gala together, where they shared a sweet kiss at the top of the iconic staircase. Kaia supported Austin throughout the 2022-2023 awards season as his role in Elvis earned him critical acclaim and a Best Actor nomination at the Oscars.
The pair kept much of their relationship private. In a February 2024 interview with WSJ. Magazine, Kaia explained her decision to keep her romance out of the spotlight.
So few things in my life are private, and that is one of the things that I try to keep as sacred as possible.
she said
Despite engagement rumors in 2023 when Austin helped Kaia move into a new home, sources close to the couple denied any plans for marriage. Their split marks the end of a high-profile romance that captured the attention of fans and media alike.
Reps for both Gerber and Butler have not commented on the breakup, but sources emphasized that there’s no bad blood between them. As two of Hollywood’s brightest stars go their separate ways, fans are left with the hope that their next chapters will be as compelling as their time together.
