Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler broke up in late 2024 after over three years together. People close to them say there was “no bad blood” between them and that their relationship just ran its natural course. In late 2021, they quietly got to know each other through yoga classes in Los Angeles. They made their public debut at *W Magazine*’s Best Performances party in March 2022. The couple struck a startlingly tight balance between secrecy and glamor. They went to big events like the 2022 Met Gala, the Cannes Film Festival, and the 2023 Golden Globes, where they had sweet moments without giving too much information about their relationship.
In a 2024 *Wall Street Journal* interview, Kaia called privacy a “sacred” place to hide their relationship from constant public scrutiny. In the same way, Austin Butler avoided talking about his relationship in a 2022 *GQ* interview, showing that they both respect each other and are grown up enough to keep things private.
Sources say that behind the scenes, there were some small problems because Austin’s Hollywood fame grew so quickly, especially after he played Elvis Presley in a famous movie. This led to a lot of media attention. These things, together with the fact that the actor and model were from different cultures, slowly pulled them apart without any public drama. Their careers were getting busier, which meant more solo performances and Austin not being able to go to family occasions like Kaia’s New Year’s vacation to Cabo San Lucas in early 2025.
People thought their partnership was a great example of how to balance being in the public eye with being true to yourself in a life that is always in the spotlight. Even though their romance is over, Kaia and Austin are ready to start new chapters full of hope, carrying with them the love and respect they built during the years they spent together.
For those watching, their story shows that even the best romances may end in a peaceful, mature, and respectful way that honors the growth and legacy of their time together. Their voyage shows how complicated the relationships between celebrities are today, with their jobs, personal lives, and cultural trends all affecting one other. This has a little but lasting effect on the changing romantic landscape of Hollywood.
Kaia has moved on since their breakup. She was recently seen starting a low-key relationship with actor Lewis Pullman, which shows that she’s ready for a new chapter.
