Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler dazzled the red carpet at the 2022 Met Gala arm-in-arm on May 2. The annual charity gala, which had a Gilded Age theme this year, per Vogue, saw Gerber and Butler doing their best take on late 19th-century fashion. As Page Six noted, the model was dressed by Alexander McQueen in a sparkling metallic sheath gown, wearing her hair down in cascading mermaid-like curls. As for Butler, he kept it downtown-chic in an all-black Prada suit with tie undone.
Although the pair didn’t comment on their relationship at the celebration, a source revealed to Page Six that “They’re newly dating.” They also noted that “Kaia thinks Austin is a sweetheart” and that “They’re having a lot of fun getting to know each other.” A definite bonus is that Gerber’s parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, reportedly approve of the actor. According to the insider, they’re “supportive of the relationship and only want to see Kaia happy,” the insider added.
Gerber previously told i-D that the opinion of the peanut gallery means little to her when it comes to relationships. “You have to silence the outside world. The only people who know anything about anything are the people in the relationship.” She further asserted, “The public is very loud, so you have to make your own feelings even louder.”
