At the 16th Governors Awards on November 16, 2025, two of Kaia Gerber’s most high-profile exes, Austin Butler and Jacob Elordi, were spotted sharing a lighthearted moment on the red carpet.
The pair, both of whom have remained fixtures in awards-season conversation over the past several years, were seen laughing and engaging in friendly conversation as they entered the event, surprising fans who hadn’t expected to see the two actors interact so warmly.
Online users have reacted positively to the friendly exchange, especially given the renewed spotlight on Gerber’s new romance with Lewis Pullman.
Jacob wore a sharp, modern take on classic menswear, featuring a sleek black double-breasted blazer paired with wide-leg tailored trousers and a white shirt. The 'Frankenstein' actor looked elegant with a relaxed silhouette, fit for a major Hollywood event. Austin went for a classic ensemble, stepping out in a classic tuxedo and black loafers.
The interaction between the actors came just as Kaia Gerber, the model and actress who previously dated both men, publicly debuted her new relationship.
The couple hard-launched their romance at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, where they were photographed sharing an intimate moment that quickly went viral among fans.
After stepping into the spotlight with a thriving modeling and acting career, supported by her signature effortlessly chic style, Kaia Gerber’s romantic life has remained a point of fascination for pop-culture observers. Take a look at Kaia's recent dating history.
Lewis Pullman (2025–Present)
Kaia Gerber and Lewis Pullman were first linked in January 2025, when the pair were spotted celebrating Pullman’s birthday at a Los Angeles restaurant. A source told People at the time that “they’ve been spending time together the last few weeks… They’re a cute couple and very low-key.”
Their first major public moment came at the Venice Film Festival, where they walked the red carpet hand-in-hand.
Austin Butler (2021–2024)
Gerber’s longest and most widely covered relationship was with actor Austin Butler. The pair first sparked dating rumors in December 2021 and quickly became a fan-favorite couple. From Paris to New York, they were seen attending film premieres, intimate dinner dates, and major red carpet events, including the 2022 Met Gala and Cannes Film Festival, where their affectionate appearances often trended online.
Despite dating for nearly three years, their relationship came to a quiet close in late 2024.
Jacob Elordi (2020–2021)
Kaia Gerber’s relationship with Jacob Elordi lasted just over a year, beginning in September 2020. Though relatively brief, the couple shared several significant public moments, including vacations with Gerber’s family, outings in Los Angeles and New York, and multiple red carpet events, including the Academy Museum Gala in September 2021.
Following their amicable split in November 2021, both Gerber and Elordi spoke positively about one another.
