It seems Kaia Gerber has well and truly moved on following her quiet split from Elvis star Austin Butler. Over the past year, the model/actress has been sparking whispers of a budding romance with Emmy-nominated actor Lewis Pullman.

The pair were first seen attending a performance of The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway, starring Succession’s Sarah Snook. But it wasn’t just the Wildean drama drawing attention. “They are definitely together,” an eyewitness told Page Six, adding that Gerber rested her head on Pullman’s shoulder throughout the show.

The apparent date night spotting followed a more subtle clue: Gerber’s appearance at Pullman’s birthday in Los Angeles in January. Photos (see here) from the celebration show the model holding the actor’s arm affectionately, fuelling early speculation.

But now, at the 2025 Venice International Film Festival, the couple have made their official debut. For the occasion, the model stunned in a timeless midi dress by Givenchy, while Pullman held his own in a Saint Laurent suit.

They even happily dabbled in some PDA while attending the premiere of Pullman’s new film, The Testament of Ann Lee.

“They’ve been spending time together the last few weeks,” a source told People back in January. “They’re a cute couple and very low-key.”

Pullman, 32, is also a Hollywood legacy—son of actor Bill Pullman and dancer Tamara Hurwitz—but, like Gerber, has carved his own path in the industry. After breakout roles in Top Gun: Maverick and Lessons in Chemistry, Pullman is riding a wave of critical acclaim, earning Emmy and Critics’ Choice nominations in 2024.

Off-screen, he’s equally enigmatic, moonlighting as a drummer in the indie band Atta Boy. He seemingly has a type, too, having previously dated Rainey Qualley, daughter of actress Andie MacDowell.

Gerber and Butler began dating in late 2021 and only called it quits towards the end of 2024, according to TMZ.
