Just days after the 2023 Oscars left Austin Butler without an Academy Award win, he and Kaia Gerber were pictured soaking up the sun in Cabo San Lucas. In photos obtained by TMZ, the 31-year-old actor can be seen half naked in swim trunks while poolside with his 21-year-old model girlfriend, who wore a tiny green bikini on their Mexico getaway at an undisclosed hotel.
Austin and Kaia kept their hangout pretty casual, as they took a dip in the pool, read some books and worked on their tans, but later, when they hopped on a golf cart and took a drive to another part of the resort, they engaged a little PDA. Paparazzi caught Kaia leaning her head on Austin’s shoulder as he handled steering the wheel. Then, they grabbed a bite to eat and held hands under the table.
Austin and Kaia appeared to be enjoying their time in Mexico, but we have to imagine the actor must’ve been at least a little upset that he got iced out at the Oscars. Elvis, which was nominated for eight awards at the 95th annual Academy Awards, didn’t win a single trophy despite the fact that Austin had a lot of buzz and momentum behind him going into the show. Austin had previously won a BAFTA and Golden Globe for playing Elvis Presley in the 2022 film, but Brendan Fraser ended up taking home the Oscar for his heartbreaking role in The Whale.
Austin and Kaia were first linked in December of 2021, following her split from Euphoria hunk Jacob Elordi. The gorgeous couple made their red carpet debut at W Magazine‘s annual Best Performances party in March 2022 and have since been seen looking super cute and cozy together. He previously dated Vanessa Hudgens for nearly a decade, from 2011-2020. And after her, he was linked to his Elvis co-star, Olivia DeJonge, and Lily-Rose Depp.
