After three years of dating, actors Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber have called off their relationship. The news was first shared by TMZ on January 7, 2025, claiming that it was around December 2024 that the two actors reportedly broke up. The report mentioned that the separation happened on amicable terms.

The couple shared several heartwarming moments throughout their relationship. In 2023, the actors visited the Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles. They were there for the annual Make March Matter event, a campaign that helped raise funds for the hospital.

Besides playing with the kids, Austin Butler also took part in a jamming session with his guitar. Kaia Gerber also joined an arts and crafts project with the kids. Their visit to the hospital happened a week after they spent a vacation in Mexico.

Butler is known for his phenomenal role in the 2022 movie Elvis, which earned him the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in 2023. During an interview with Access Hollywood in 2024, Butler said Kaia Gerber chose his outfit for The Bikeriders movie premiere:

“I was trying to figure out what to wear tonight and she said to wear this one.”

Around the end of 2021, the duo stirred dating rumors after being spotted at a yoga session. In 2022, they made their way to the red carpet. They also attended the Met Gala the same year. Gerber previously dated Jacob Elordi, while Austin Butler was involved with Vanessa Hudgens. Butler parted ways with Hudgens in 2020.
