Insiders claim meddling by Kaia’s parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, triggered the breakup.
Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler have reportedly ended their three-year relationship, with sources suggesting interference from Kaia’s famous parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, played a key role in the split.
The couple’s romance, which began in late 2021, reportedly ended in late 2024 after a tense conversation between Austin and Kaia’s parents. According to an insider speaking to the Daily Mail, the parents questioned Austin’s intentions, leading to friction.
“What sealed the deal was the talk Kaia’s parents had with Austin about his relationship with their daughter,” the source revealed. “He didn’t appreciate them interfering, and it rubbed him the wrong way.”
In October 2024, reports emerged that Crawford and Gerber had approached Austin, voicing concerns about Kaia “wasting the best years of her life” without a clear commitment from him. They allegedly inquired about his plans to propose, raising tensions further.
While Kaia is putting on a brave face in public, insiders claim she is upset about the breakup and partially blames her parents. “Kaia told them they had no right to come between her and Austin,” the source added.
The couple first sparked dating rumours in December 2021 when they were spotted at a yoga class in Los Angeles. Their relationship had since been under the public eye, with fans admiring their bond. However, parental pressure appears to have added a strain the duo could not overcome.
Neither Kaia nor Austin has publicly commented on the split, leaving fans speculating about whether reconciliation might be possible.
