Kaia Gerber seems to have found a new connection just weeks after her split from actor Austin Butler. The 23-year-old model was spotted getting close to actor Lewis Pullman as they celebrated his 32nd birthday at Salazar, a trendy Los Angeles restaurant, on January 29. The intimate gathering also included Lewis Pullman’s father, veteran actor Bill Lewis Pullman.
A source close to the pair revealed to PEOPLE, “They’ve been spending time together the last few weeks. They’re a cute couple and very low-key.
For the casual celebration, Kaia Gerber donned a chic denim jacket paired with dark pants and a stylish green scarf. Pullman complemented her effortless style in jeans, a white T-shirt, a zip-up sweatshirt, and a baseball cap. During the evening, Kaia Gerber was seen holding onto Lewis Pullman’s arm, sparking speculation about a budding romance.
Neither Gerber nor Lewis Pullman’s representatives have responded to requests for comment on their relationship status.
A New Chapter for Kaia
Gerber’s outing with Pullman comes after her recent breakup with Butler, 33. The former couple had been together for over three years, having made their relationship public in March 2022.
According to reports, Gerber and Butler quietly went their separate ways toward the end of 2024. TMZ was the first to break the news, also noting Butler’s absence from the Gerber family’s holiday trip to Mexico.\
Kaia Gerber and Butler’s relationship had been highly publicized since they were first spotted attending a yoga session together in December 2021. They made their official red carpet debut at W Magazine’s Best Performances party in March 2022 and later attended the 2022 Met Gala, where they shared a romantic moment at the top of the famed staircase. Their affectionate displays continued at major events, including the 2023 Golden Globes and Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty.
In a 2024 interview with WSJ. Magazine, Gerber opened up about her approach to keeping her personal life private, stating, “Honestly, I feel like so few things in my life are private, and that is one of the things that I try to keep as sacred as possible.
Past Relationships and Moving Forward
Before dating Butler, Gerber was romantically linked to Euphoria star Jacob Elordi. Meanwhile, Butler had a long-term relationship with High School Musical actress Vanessa Hudgens, which ended in early 2020 after eight years together.
With Gerber and Lewis Pullman’s recent sighting, fans are eager to see if this new connection blossoms into something more. For now, the pair seems content keeping things casual and out of the spotlight.
