AUSTIN BUTLER SEEKS SOLACE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOLLOWING KAIA GERBER SPLIT
Following recent news of his breakup with Kaia Gerber, Austin Butler has been spotted seeking solace in Northern California this weekend. Two exclusive Deuxmoi sources caught the actor looking "extremely somber and down bad" as he spent some solo time reflecting and recharging.
Our sources spotted Butler at a restaurant, where he was seen "sitting alone and writing in a journal." He was also observed enjoying a quiet moment with a Kindle, accompanied by a light meal of a gem salad and scallops.
Meanwhile, last night, Kaia Gerber was spotted performing in the new play "Evanston Salt Costs Climbing". An exclusive Deuxmoi source who attended the performance said "she was amazing" in the play.
Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler's recent breakup may have seemed sudden to fans, but it turns out trouble had been brewing for quite some time. While rumors swirled about potential infidelity, sources close to the couple say cheating wasn't a factor in their split. Instead, it seems the couple simply drifted apart over a period of months.
"Things had been bad for at least six months," an exclusive Deuxmoi source explains. "He stopped making an effort to see her when their schedules didn't align, and she got a little nervous about that. You know, 'Are we going to see each other? Are we done?' And he was kind of like, 'I think we're done.'"
It seems the once-hot romance cooled down as Butler became increasingly distant. "He was aloof," the source adds, and Gerber clearly picked up on those signals. While their relationship initially seemed picture-perfect, with red carpet appearances and affectionate displays, it appears the spark eventually faded. Their demanding careers and conflicting schedules likely contributed to the growing distance between them.
It seems Butler is taking the time to process the split and focus on self-reflection. The breakup, which came after nearly two years of dating, has understandably left the actor feeling heartbroken.
We admire Butler's commitment to self-care during this difficult time and wish him all the best as he navigates this new chapter in his life.
