There’s trouble on Arrakis. Or at Graceland. Or wherever Austin Butler is off method acting at the moment. TMZ reports that Kaia Gerber and the actor have broken up after three years of dating. While neither Butler nor Gerber have confirmed the split, he was noticeably absent on the Gerber family’s holiday trip to Cabo San Lucas last month.
What started with a quintessential L.A. yoga date in 2021 later blossomed into a full-on Hollywood romance, with Gerber advancing to covers of Vogue and Butler completing his metamorphosis from lowly Zoey 101 guy to Oscar nominee. Throughout the course of their relationship, Butler took on multiple personalities (I mean, roles), incurred potential vocal-cord damage in the name of Elvis, and went browless for his turn as menacing and muscled Dune: Part Two villain Feyd-Rautha. Unclear if that performance gave Gerber nightmares or weird alien-sex dreams, but I digress.
Per TMZ, the breakup was amicable, and there’s no bad blood for the time being. But sheesh, it seems like 2024 really put things in perspective for our current crop of celebrity couples. To all those remaining, stay safe out there.
