So, it seems that one of the first celebrity breakups of 2025 has sadly made its way, and it’s no other than Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber. After three years of being together, the pair has called it quits around the end of 2024, according to sources.

The couple’s last outing together was in October 2024 in NYC, and multiple news outlets reported that the duo had split at some point around the end of 2024. But where did it all begin? Here’s the breakdown of Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber’s relationship timeline.
