At the 2023 Oscars, Austin Butler seemed like a newcomer due to his somewhat under-the-radar rise to fame.
A few years after splitting with Hudgens, Butler began dating model and actor Kaia Gerber.
However, she was not by his side at the 2023 Oscars.

They have even been seen on vacation with Gerber’s famous parents,Cindy Crawfordand Rande Gerber.
At the Oscars, Butler chose to honor someone in show business who was integral to his acting career.
Butler’s guest for the Oscars was his agent James Farrell.

I owe my entire career to him," Butler stated.
“We grew up together.”
However, this was not the first time that the couple did not appear at a major event together.

Gerber did join him for an Oscars afterparty hosted by Vanity Fair.
Neither post photos with each other online or reveal much to the public.
They are supportive of each other off the record, however.
