Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber Were Spotted Holding Hands at the ‘Dune: Part Two’ After-Party in London!

Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler have legit been dating for practically two years and have obvi already reached the “kissing in front of cameras” stage of the relationship, so by our Kravis-based calculations, they should be touching tongues on a red carpet any day now! Kidding, but for real: These two went from low-key to high-key in record time, and their relationship is best described as a super-chill and super-cute whirlwind.

Kaia and her then-boyfriend Jacob Elordi end their relationship after a little more than a year of dating. Just FYI, they were very serious, and Kaia even opened up about Jacob to Vogue, saying, “Being able to be with someone I trust, where we don’t want anything from each other, having a safe, steady relationship like that has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of love and what it feels like to love without conditions. Lust is touching other people or wanting them, but love is really seeing someone.”

Kaia and Austin are spotted out and about in Los Angeles in photos published by the Daily Mail, fueling some initial dating speculation. Because, as we all know, two humans can’t hang together without the internet assuming they’re a couple. (Although in this case, everyone was right, so nvm.)

That same day, GQ drops an interview with Austin where he is asked about Kaia and dodges the question with, “I don’t think there’s anything I want to share about that. But thank you for providing the space.” Lol, but fair.

Kaia officially turns 21 (!!) and celebrates the milestone b-day with her close friends. However, Entertainment Tonight reports that her beau wasn’t in attendance and adds that an anonymous source dished that the Elvis star was supposed to attend but couldn’t make it at the last second. “Kaia didn’t seem bothered by it at all,” the insider adds, “and was having an amazing time.”

The stunning duo kick off Golden Globes weekend together at an intimate dinner that W magazine hosted with Louis Vuitton in Los Angeles, and they look beyond happy. And tbh, my guess is that one of the reasons probs has to do with the fact that Austin is nominated in the Best Actor, Drama category for his role in Elvis. 2023 this power couple.

News at the time, in reference to the legendary singer’s daughters and mother. “I am eternally grateful for the time I was lucky enough to be near her bright light and will forever cherish the quiet moments we shared. Her warmth, her love, and her authenticity will always be remembered.”
