New couple alert! It seems like model Kaia Gerber has moved on with a new man, just weeks after her high-profile split from longtime beau, Austin Butler.
On January 29, 2025, Kaia was seen enjoying a dinner date with Top Gun: Maverick star Lewis Pullman at Los Angeles’ iconic Salazar restaurant, celebrating the actor’s 32nd birthday.
The pair coordinated their outfits, both sporting casual dark-wash denim looks from head to toe. They were also joined by Lewis’ father, Bill Pullman, for the special occasion.
However, the highlight of the evening came when the paparazzi captured Kaia and Lewis sharing a few rare moments of affection.
In one particularly adorable image, the Victoria’s Secret model was seen with both her arms wrapped firmly around the actor, resting her head on his shoulder while they waited for their table inside the restaurant.
