Elvis star Austin Butler was first romantically linked to Kaia Gerber in late 2021, but they’ve gotten numerous attention these days as Butler’s award wining performance within the rock star’s biopic has increased his visibility.

Part of individuals’s interest is the couple’s previous amours. Gerber dated Euphoria star Jacob Elordi for a 12 months before they split in September of 2020; she’s also been linked to Pete Davidson. Her relationship with Elordi ended a few month before she was connected to Butler. The 21-year-old has a busy life as an actress and model, taking after her mother, supermodel Cindy Crawford, which has made certain relationships difficult.

In an interview about her romantic past with Vogue, Gerber said, “I discovered myself in situations where I used to be, like, I actually don’t have the life experience that I would like to handle this. You recognize, I used to be doing fashion month, but I used to be so young I had kissed, like, just one person. I had never had a highschool sweetheart or anything.”

She added that she ended up dating “older people,” because that is who she was surrounded by on this planet of fashion. Davidson was 26 when he dated 18-year-old Gerber in 2020.

“I got put in situations where someday I’d get up and be like, How did I get here? I do not know what I’m doing, and I would like help,” she explained. “And with the ability to ask for that help was amazing. That’s what real growing up means, not being afraid to ask.”

Butler was in a relationship with ex-girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens for nine years, and so they were officially reported as being over in January 2020. The 31-year-old actor has said Hudgens had a big effect on his profession, encouraging him to go for the Elvis Presley role—though the space while he was filming was apparently a serious hinder of their relationship. The 2’s romance ended while he was working on the project.

“I used to be actually driving up through Griffith Park and Elvis’s ‘Blue Christmas’ got here on,” the 31-year-old actor told Vogue in April 2022. “I used to be singing together with it when my friend had form of an epiphany: ‘You might want to play Elvis.’”

The friend in that story was apparently Hudgens.

Here’s the whole timeline of Butler and Gerber’s romance.

December 2021

The primary rumors that the couple were together began once they were seen attending a yoga class together in December 2021. A source told Us Weekly on the time, “They’re low-key dating. It’s still very latest.

He was also seen on December 8 at Celine’s fashion show, where Gerber was walking the runway on the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. He was photographed with a few of Gerber’s family, including Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.

March 2022

The brand new couple loves traveling together and headed to Paris just after Paris Fashion Week, based on The Every day Mail.

They didn’t walk the red carpet together, but were seen together on their way out.

April 2022

Gerber and Butler were photographed holding hands on a date in Malibu at a farmer’s market, probably the most couple-y activity possible.

May 2022

They finally made their red carpet debut on the Metropolitan Museum of Art for its 2022 Met Gala. The theme for the night was the Gilded Age, and Gerber wore a metallic gown by Alexander McQueen, and Butler wore a black Prada suit. They appear totally enamored with each other all night.

Also in May, Butler was asked about his relationship in a GQ interview, and replied, “I do not think there’s anything I need to share about that. But thanks for providing the space.”

July 2022

Gerber’s tattoo of the words “I do know” on her wrist seemingly gave away that she made a guest appearance in Butler’s photoshoot for VMAN 49’s Fall-Winter 2022 issue. Within the black-and-white photos, her arms are draped around his neck, though he hides the remainder of her from the camera lens.

August 2022

More people began to note the stark 10-year age gap between Butler and Gerber. A 2007 photo of Gerber together with his former flame, Vanessa Hudgens, went viral. It depicted them meeting during a High School Musical 2 red carpet event, Hudgens a young adult and Gerber a baby.

December 2022

Butler and Gerber enjoyed a pre-Latest 12 months’s getaway in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, together with her parents—Rande Gerber and Crawford—and her brother, Presley Gerber. Earlier within the month, it was reported that Kaia supported Butler when he made his Saturday Night Live hosting debut.

January 2023

Butler won within the Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama on the 2023 Golden Globes, and Gerber was there for his big win. Nevertheless, his official date of the night was his older sister Ashley.

“I’ll bring my sister,” he told Entertainment Tonight. The choice was “hard, [but] she’s my one and only sister, so it’ll be nice to be together with her.”

Before the event, Gerber and Butler enjoyed the W and Louis Vuitton’s pre-Golden Globes dinner together, and an insider on the event told Page Six that the couple was “cuddled up within the corner.” The 2 were also seen “making out” backstage on the Golden Globes, per Page Six.

Around this time, Butler’s accent was noted by fans as being completely different than his voice pre-Elvis. That is where he told the infamous story about Hudgens encouraging him to go for the role while at The Hollywood Reporter’s roundtable.

“The month before I heard that Baz [Luhrmann] was making the movie, I used to be going to take a look at Christmas lights with a friend,” he said. “And there was an Elvis Christmas song on the radio and I used to be singing along and my friend looked over at me and goes, ‘You’ve got to play Elvis.’ I said, ‘Oh, that’s such a protracted shot.’”

“A few weeks later, I used to be playing the piano,” he continued. “I never really sang for any of my friends or anything. That very same friend was there and I used to be playing the piano. She said, ‘I’m serious. You gotta work out how you may get the rights to a script.’ Then my agent called and said, ‘So Baz Luhrmann is making an Elvis film.’”

Hudgens essentially told the identical story on Live With Kelly and Ryan in 2019, when the 2 were still together.

“Last December, we were driving along and we were listening to Christmas music, after which an Elvis Presley Christmas song got here on,” Hudgens said. “He had just dyed his hair dark. He’s a natural blonde…and I used to be taking a look at him and he was singing along and I used to be like, ‘Babe, that you must play Elvis.’ Then in January, he was sitting on the piano. And he’s playing and he’s singing and I’m like, ‘I don’t understand how, but that you must work out how you may play Elvis. Like, I don’t understand how we get rights or what we do, but that you must play him.”

Hudgens is currently dating basketball star Cole Tucker, and most of the people assumed she wasn’t particularly salty about Butler’s success or his latest relationship. But then Instagram user Ryan Scott cracked a joke about Butler’s Presley latest lilt, insinuating he’s putting it on to warm up award show voters.

“He went to the Lady Gaga school of campaign acting,” Scott wrote, together with a tweet from Page Six about Butler’s vocal coach gave about his accent.

Hudgens quickly liked the post, then commented, “Crying.”

Presumably, she means crying-laughing.
