Including Pete Davidson, Austin Butler, and more
Over the years, model Kaia Gerber has been romantically attached to several high-profile men in Hollywood, including Pete Davidson, Jacob Elordi, and Austin Butler.
During her relationship with Elordi, Gerber opened up about how her perspective on love and dating has evolved over the years. “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,” she said in a 2021 interview. “Lust is touching other people or wanting them, but love is really seeing someone.”
Ahead, we track Gerber’s complete dating history—from her brief, but intense fling with Davidson to her years-long romance with Butler.

Gerber was first linked to Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson in November 2019, after photos of the two kissing and attending a friend’s wedding together spread like wildfire online. Davidson briefly opened up about the media’s attention on their relationship during a December 2019 episode of Saturday Night Live. “You get to date a famous woman and everyone’s delighted, but I do it and America wants to punch me in the throat,” he joked. “If I’m your type of guy that your daughter, or mother, is into, then trust me, I’m the best case scenario. There are a million guys who look like me and I’m the only one with a job. It’s like me or Tyga.”
During their relationship, Davidson reportedly forged a bond with Gerber’s parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. “Cindy and Rande wanted to be there for Kaia and supportive of her. They are very involved and loving parents and they would do anything for her.” a source told E! News at the time. “They stepped in to try and guide her and to help Pete through a difficult time. … They tried to intervene and offer what they could. It’s been upsetting for Kaia and for them to see their daughter dealing with something so serious.”
The relationship reportedly fizzled out by January 2020. An insider for E! News said that Davidson had checked into a “program” in order to work on his mental health. Meanwhile, his contact with Gerber had been limited. “What she saw happen with Pete was very concerning and scary for her… She cares about Pete and wants him to get better,” the source said. “But their future is very much up in the air.”
Davidson opened up about the end of his relationship to Gerber in a February 2020 interview with Charlamagne Tha God. We were dating for a few months,” he said. “She’s very young, and I’m f—ing going through a lot and it was before I went to rehab. … It’s just like, she should be having fun. She shouldn’t have to worry about some dude that just has issues and s—. She should be enjoying her work.”

Gerber first sparked dating rumors with Euphoria star Jacob Elordi in September 2020, when the two were spotted on a sushi date in Malibu. Since that first sighting, the couple weren’t shy about showing off PDA, frequently being seen holding hands and hugging during casual public outings. They eventually made their red-carpet debut at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Opening Gala in September 2021.
“Jacob is very sweet to Kaia. They are always very loving and cute together,” a source told People at the time. “It’s obvious that Cindy and Rande approve of Jacob too. They spend a lot of time together.”
By November 2021, the couple had split, though the breakup was apparently amicable. In an interview with Men’s Health the following month, Elordi had nothing but kind words to say about his ex. “She handles herself wonderfully publicly,” he said, “and I’ve learned so much from her about how to handle it, how to deal with it and just kind of be whatever about it, you know?”
Austin Butler

Dating rumors between Gerber and actor Austin Butler first began to swirl in December 2021, when the two were photographed attending a yoga class together in Los Angeles. A source for Entertainment Tonight soon after confirmed the romance: “Kaia and Austin are seeing each other. They’re getting to know each other better and having a lot of fun hanging out. They’re very sweet and affectionate with each other and it feels comfortable between the two of them.”
In May, the two made their first red-carpet appearance together at the 2022 Met Gala. After that, the two become a fixture on the red carpet, with the model accompanying Butler at the Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globes, and the Oscars after-party as he promoted his 2022 film, Elvis.
Despite the amount of public scrutiny on their romance, the couple remained relatively tight-lipped about their years-long relationship. When asked about Gerber in a 2022 interview with GQ, Butler shut down the question: “I don’t think there’s anything I want to share about that. But thank you for providing the space.” Gerber similarly refused to answer a question about Butler in a 2024 interview with WSJ. Magazine. “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,” she explained.
In January 2025, outlets like TMZ and People reported that the two had gone their separate ways.
