Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber‘s relationship became a topic of conversation in late 2021 — and the couple’s connection has only heated up since then.
Butler and Gerber first sparked romance rumors in December 2021 after they were spotted attending a yoga class together. At the time, a source exclusively revealed to Us Weekly that the pair were dating, adding, “It’s still very new.”
Five months later, the couple reached a major milestone when they made their red carpet debut at the 2022 Met Gala. Gerber celebrated the Gilded Age theme with an Alexander McQueen metallic gown while Butler opted for an all-black Prada suit for the big event.
The next year, a second source exclusively told Us that Butler and Gerber were very “secure” in their relationship — and that her famous parents, Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford, approved of the pairing.
