Elvis star Austin Butler and model Kaia Gerber have been making headlines as their relationship has grown. Butler's award-winning portrayal of the rock star in a biopic has increased his visibility, drawing attention to his romantic involvement with Gerber. Before dating Butler, Gerber was in a relationship with Euphoria star Jacob Elordi. She has also been linked to Pete Davidson and has admitted that her busy career in the fashion industry has made it difficult for her to maintain relationships.
In an interview, Gerber discussed her limited life experience and how it led her to date older people. She explained that she often found herself in situations where she didn't know what to do and had to ask for help. Butler previously dated actress Vanessa Hudgens, who encouraged him to pursue the role of Elvis Presley. Their relationship ended while Butler was working on the project, but Hudgens played a significant role in his career.
The timeline of Butler and Gerber's romance begins in December 2021 when they were first rumored to be dating. They were spotted attending a yoga class together and later seen at a fashion show. In February 2022, the couple spent Valentine's Day together in London. They traveled to Paris in March and made their first public appearance at an event in Los Angeles. In April, they were photographed holding hands on a date in Malibu, and in May, they made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala.
Throughout the year, Butler and Gerber continued to attend events together and enjoy romantic getaways. In August, a photo of Gerber and Butler from 2007 went viral, highlighting the significant age gap between them. In December 2022, they went on a vacation with Gerber's family in Cabo San Lucas. In January 2023, Butler won a Golden Globe and Gerber was by his side. They continued to be spotted together at parties and events in the following months.
Despite their busy schedules, a source revealed that Butler and Gerber have a secure and down-to-earth relationship. They make an effort to spend time together and have plans to celebrate the holidays with each other. Butler has also formed a strong bond with Gerber's family and is considered a part of the family. The couple ended their year with a vacation in Mexico, enjoying some quality time together in Cabo San Lucas.
