Since he first donned his leather jacket on screen as Sebastian Kydd in The Carrie Diaries, fans have been obsessed with Hollywood’s new favourite leading man – Austin Butler.
While his role as an on-screen love interest has made audiences swoon for years, his real-life romances have also become a great source of intrigue for Austin enthusiasts, and after his split from long-term girlfriend Kaia Gerber was seemingly confirmed in early 2025, fans have been keeping a close eye on whether or not he may have a new girlfriend.
Who is Austin Butler dating?
Although Austin hasn’t confirmed any rumours, it has been speculated that he could be in the early days of a new relationship with Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline.
Breaking the news on their Instagram, celebrity gossip site DeuxMoi revealed they had received an anonymous tip from a follower claiming they had spotted Austin and Madelyn together out for dinner.
Speaking further on the news, DeuxMoi shared in their podcast, “The sighting was sent at the end of January, and the thing that made me stop was the restaurant they saw them at, allegedly. I have been there and I know that it is a celebrity-frequented spot.”
“[The restaurant is] not one that you see on my account often… so kind of random that [the insider] added this restaurant into the sighting and then asked for it to be taken out. That’s what has made me think it’s true.”
Who has Austin Butler dated?
Kaia Gerber
(2021-2025)
Austin and Kaia first sparked dating rumours back in December 21, 2021, after they were spotted going to a yoga class together.
At the time, a source told US Weekly the two were “low-key dating,” and that it was “still very new.” A source also told People at the time, “She seems really happy. All of her friends think he’s really cute.”
The duo made it official when they attended W Magazine’s Best Performances in March this year, where a photo of Austin giving Kaia a kiss on the cheek inside the event was shared.
After keeping their romance low-key for several years, fans were shocked when rumours first surfaced that the pair may have called it quits. While they didn’t comment on their split, sources speaking to People in January 2025 seemingly confirmed rumours that Kaia had moved on with actor Lewis Pullman.
“They’ve been spending time together the last few weeks,” the source said, adding, “They’re a cute couple and very low-key.”
Lily-Rose Depp
(2021)
Before Kaia, Austin was linked to Lily-Rose Depp in August 2021 after photos of the pair surfaced of them locking lips while out in London.
While relationship rumours swirled, neither Austin nor Lily-Rose confirmed or denied that they were dating.
Olivia DeJonge
(2020)
While working on Elvis, Austin was rumoured to be dating his co-star, Australian actress Olivia DeJonge, for most of 2020.
The two made headlines after they were spotted cuddling up together at a movie theatre before later being spotted several more times throughout the year.
Despite fans quickly jumping on the romance bandwagon, it’s unclear what *really* went down between them, as the duo have never spoken publicly about their relationship.
Vanessa Hudgens
(2011-2020)
For nearly a decade, Austin was in a relationship with actress Vanessa Hudgens.
The pair announced their split in 2020 one month before their 10-year anniversary, with sources confirming to Us Weekly, “Vanessa and Austin are officially broken up, and Vanessa has been telling those close to her about their breakup.”
The two were speculated to be together years before Vanessa debuted their relationship in a 2014 birthday post on Instagram, where she called Austin the “love of my life”.
Over the years, the former couple shared many sweet moments, including when Austin called Vanessa his “rock” at the premiere of The Dead Don’t Die.
While the two never confirmed the reason behind their split, many fans assumed it was due to opposing film schedules and distance.
