The pair sparked dating rumours in December, but made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala last month.
Before that, Austin was in a nine-year relationship with Vanessa Hudgens but the pair’s split was confirmed in January 2020.
Meanwhile Austin’s new film Elvis chronicles the life and career of the late King of Rock and Roll, from his early days as a child growing up in Mississippi to his ascent to stardom and his complex relationship with his manager.

Austin plays the music great while the film, which is getting rave reviews, was directed by Baz Luhrmann.
After attending a recent screening, Priscilla Presley raved about Luhrmann’s vision and Butler’s performance as Elvis, to whom she was married for just over six years.
‘This story is about Elvis and Colonel Parker’s relationship. It is a true story told brilliantly and creatively that only Baz, in his unique artistic way, could have delivered. Austin Butler, who played Elvis, is outstanding,’ the 76-year-old wrote on Facebook.
