Kaia Gerber has a new co-star in her life, offscreen and very much on point! The model and actress, 23, is officially dating Lewis Pullman, 32, best known for his breakout role as Lt. Robert ‘Bob’ Floyd in Top Gun: Maverick.”
The couple may be trying to keep things under the radar, but based on recent sightings (and a few steamy public smooches), it’s safe to say the secret is, well, more than out.
From Hollywood Legacy to It-Couple Energy
Gerber, daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford and nightlife entrepreneur Rande Gerber, has long been a staple in the fashion and entertainment world. She’s walked runways for the likes of big fashion brand names such as Chanel and Valentino. She also dabbled in the world of acting, most recently appearing in Apple TV+’s “Palm Royale.” It was also announced she will star in Ryan Murphy’s new FX series, “The Shards.”
Meanwhile, Pullman, who is the son of the talented and lovable Bill Pullman (Independence Day, anyone?), has carved out his own career. He’s appeared in the horror remakes “The Strangers: Prey at Night,” Amazon Prime’s hit “Outer Range,” and “Bad Times at the El Royale,” to name a few. The actor also recently joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He made his debut in the latest film, “Thunderbolts,” alongside Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan.
And in case you were wondering if this is random or not, it isn’t. According to multiple sources, they have known each other for quite a while. A source told Us Weekly, “They run in the same circle and have similar friend groups, and that’s how they were introduced.”
Now, that friendship has officially turned romantic.
A Hollywood Bowl Makeout
Though they initially kept their romance quiet following Gerber’s breakup in October with Austin Butler, sparks began to fly with Pullman as early as December. Gerber and the “Elvis” actor were reportedly dating for 3 years before the split.
“Kaia and Lewis have actually been together for a while now,” a source revealed to Us Weekly in January. “They kept it under wraps until the news of her and Austin’s split came out.” Hey, who are we to judge, right?
Since then, the couple has been spotted…”frequenting” here and there. But subtleness definitely went out the window when the two were photographed kissing during a Tyler Childers concert at the Hollywood Bowl. And yes, there’s proof. This is according to photos obtained by DeuxMoi, which is known for finding out celebrity news any way they can. Pullman tried to go incognito in a baseball cap, but, of course, fans noticed.
Parents’ Seal of Approval
So, what do Mom and Dad think of the new man in their daughter’s life? According to a source who spoke with People, the actor has already met the parents! They reportedly hit it off immediately, saying they “really like Lewis.”
“Kaia and Lewis have been spending a lot of time together, and things feel easy and natural between them,” the source said. “Kaia’s really into Lewis, and things are going great.”
That stamp of approval from two of Hollywood’s most well-connected parents is no small thing.
Pullman, who previously dated Rainey Qualley, daughter of actress Andie MacDowell, is known for his thoughtful nature and low-key demeanor. It’s an appealing shift from the high-pressure public romances that Gerber had in the past with Butler and “Euphoria” star Jacob Elordi.
Whether it’s concerts, eastside strolls, or shared famous-family roots, Gerber and Pullman are definitely giving Hollywood something to talk about. Maybe, just maybe, they are becoming the new favorite couple to watch.
