Kaia Gerber started dating Lewis Pullman several months after she split from Austin Butler, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.
“Kaia and Lewis have actually been together for a while now,” the insider says. “They started dating in early December [2024]. They kept it under wraps until the news of her and Austin’s split came out. Kaia and Austin have been broken up since October.”
Gerber, 23, dated Oscar nominee Butler, 33, for three years before reports swirled earlier this month that they called it quits. After the model moved on with Pullman, 32, they tried to keep their connection low-key.
“In early December, Kaia and Lewis started seriously hanging out and were seen all around L.A., but mostly on the east side,” the source adds. “Kaia would make sure to be in a hat to try and be unnoticed, but they would be at their favorite restaurants, bars and clubs, holding hands and showing PDA. They were just frequenting crowds that didn’t really know them.”
Kaia Gerber was spotted getting close to Lewis Pullman following her recent split from Austin Butler. Gerber, 23, was photographed with Pullman, 32, on Wednesday, January 29, according to photos obtained by E! News. The pair were spotted sharing a hug while out and about in Los Angeles. The outing coincidentally fell on Pullman’s birthday. […]
According to the source, Gerber and Pullman have “known each other for a while now.” They both grew up in Los Angeles and have famous parents. Kaia is the daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford and Casamigos tycoon Rande Gerber, while Lewis’ father is actor Bill Pullman.

“They run in the same circle and have similar friend groups, and that’s how they were introduced,” the insider tells Us, noting their romance is “very natural and relaxed” thus far. “Kaia likes that this relationship feels low-pressure and that Lewis is a very low-key guy.”
Kaia and Lewis were recently spotted packing on the PDA in L.A. earlier this week, with the source noting that they both seemed “beyond smitten.”
“They have a lot of chemistry and a very easygoing relationship. She’s really happy and feels like she can be herself,” the insider says. “There’s no pressure to be an A-list couple like there was in her past relationships.”
Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber‘s relationship became a topic of conversation in late 2021 — and continued to draw fans in until their split in late 2024. 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 […]
Kaia has frequently kept details about her love life private throughout relationships with the likes of Butler and Jacob Elordi. She previously told Vogue in May 2021 that her romance with Elordi, 27, taught her new lessons about what she’s looking for in a partner.
“Being able to be with someone I trust, where we don’t want anything from each other, having a safe, steady relationship like that, has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of love and what it feels like to love without conditions,” Kaia said at the time. “Lust is touching other people or wanting them, but love is really seeing someone.”
Lewis, who previously starred in Top Gun: Maverick, last dated Andie MacDowell’s daughter Rainey Qualley in 2022.
