Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber Call It Quits After Three Years: ‘Their Relationship Simply Run Its Course’

Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber have reportedly ended their three-year relationship, with multiple sources confirming the breakup to TMZ on January 7. The couple, who began dating in late 2021, is said to have parted ways amicably toward the end of 2024.

Sources close to the former couple shared that there are no hard feelings between them, with one source noting that their “split was seemingly amicable.” Another insider stated, “Their relationship simply run its course after three years,” suggesting that the separation was a natural progression rather than the result of any specific issues.

This news follows recent reports of Kaia vacationing in Mexico with her famous family while Austin was noticeably absent from the trip. The pair had previously been seen together over the holidays and had been one of Hollywood’s more low-key couples.

Austin and Kaia first sparked romance rumors in December 2021 when the Elvis star was spotted chatting with Kaia’s parents at a fashion show she was walking in. The couple made their relationship official after spending Valentine’s Day together in February 2022. Their first public appearance as a couple came a month later when they attended W Magazine’s pre-Oscars party in March 2022.

Their relationship hit another milestone in May 2022, when they attended the Met Gala in New York City as a red-carpet official couple. Despite their high-profile appearances, the couple remained relatively private about their relationship.

In February 2024, Kaia opened up about her relationship dynamics with Austin in an interview with WSJ Magazine. “Honestly, I feel like 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, indicating her preference to keep their relationship out of the public eye.

A source close to the couple previously revealed to Life & Style that the pair faced significant challenges during their time together, with one of the major hurdles being the cultural differences between how they were brought up. Despite these differences, they seemed to maintain a strong connection for a few years, but ultimately, their relationship came to an end.
