Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler have legit been dating for practically two years and have obvi already reached the “kissing in front of cameras” stage of the relationship, so by our Kravis-based calculations, they should be touching tongues on a red carpet any day now! Kidding, but for real: These two went from low-key to high-key in record time, and their relationship is best described as a super-chill and super-cute whirlwind. Complete timeline of how it all happened, below!

Kaia and her then-boyfriend Jacob Elordi end their relationship after a little more than a year of dating. Just FYI, they were very serious, and Kaia even opened up about Jacob to Vogue, saying, “Being able to be with someone I trust, where we don’t want anything from each other, having a safe, steady relationship like that has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of love and what it feels like to love without conditions. Lust is touching other people or wanting them, but love is really seeing someone.”

Kaia and Austin are spotted out and about in Los Angeles in photos published by the Daily Mail, fueling some initial dating speculation. Because, as we all know, two humans can’t hang together without the internet assuming they’re a couple. (Although in this case, everyone was right, so nvm.)
