Welp, the genetic jackpot duo has officially called it quits. Yes, the Elvis-impersonating hunk Austin Butler and runway-waltzing queen Kaia Gerber have ended their relationship after three years of making the rest of us feel like we need a better skincare routine.
The 33-year-old actor and the 23-year-old model reportedly broke up toward the end of 2024, People confirms (because obviously, the people needed to know). But don’t worry—there’s no bad blood, drama, or mysterious subtweets involved. It seems they’ve taken the Gwyneth Paltrow approach to breaking up: conscious uncoupling, but with better cheekbones.
TMZ, always one to lurk in the bushes of celebrity lives, broke the news. According to their insider sources (probably someone’s second cousin twice removed), the split was amicable. No plates were smashed, no “How Dare You” Adele playlists were blasted. Just a “We’re done, cool? Cool.”
The fairy tale of Austin and Kaia began back in December 2021 when the two were spotted in LA looking suspiciously like a couple in a rom-com montage. They didn’t spill much about their relationship publicly, which made us nosy mortals even more curious. But hey, who needs to talk when you can show up at the Met Gala looking like the embodiment of rich and beautiful?
Speaking of the Met Gala, they made their red carpet debut in May 2022, and the internet collectively swooned. Somewhere in the background, angels sang, and the gods of couture wept tears of joy. It was peak glamor and relationship goals.
Their last sighting as a couple? August 2024, strolling the streets of NYC for Austin’s birthday. No screaming matches, no dramatic “leaving the restaurant separately” photos—just a calm exit like the classy Hollywood A-listers they are.
So, here we are, bidding farewell to a couple that oozed sophistication and perfectly tousled hair. But fear not! Both Austin and Kaia are still out there dazzling the world solo. Who knows what’s next? Maybe Austin’s next date will be with an Oscar, and Kaia’s might just be with another front-row seat at Fashion Week. Stay tuned, y’all.
