Kaia Gerber was seen on a date with Austin Butler on Tuesday.
The Palm Royale actress, 22, put on some PDA with her Oscar-nominated boyfriend, 32, as they enjoyed a smoke break with friends outside Via Carota in New York City‘s West Village.
She kept warm in an oversized black leather jacket as Butler wrapped his arm around his model girlfriend.
Butler sported a bald eagle trucker hat and worker jacket, layered over a grey button-down shirt and white t-shirt.
The actor appears to still be channeling some biker energy after the trailer for his upcoming movie The Bikeriders debuted in March.

After preparing for three years to star in Baz Luhrmann‘s Elvis biopic, Butler got so deep into that role that he had to hire a dialect coach to remove his Elvis accent for the Apple TV+ limited series Masters of the Air.
The couple’s casual outing come ahead of Monday’s Met Gala, where they’re expected to put on a chic red carpet display.
Last year, engagement rumors were sparked after Butler reportedly popped the question in April, but the speculation was soon debunked.
‘These two are the real deal and Austin’s even mentioned that he can see himself proposing down the line,’ a source told Radar at the time.
Gerber began dating Butler in December 2021, following her relationships with Jacob Elordi and Pete Davidson.
Butler previously dated Vanessa Hudgens from 2011 to 2019.
Gerber can currently be seen on Palm Royale with Kristen Wiig and Ricky Martin, the season one finale streaming May 8 on Apple TV+.
After following in mom Cindy Crawford‘s modeling footsteps and making the transition to the screen with roles in American Horror Story, Babylon and Bottoms, the supermodel matriarch raved that Gerber has a ‘very good head on her shoulders.’
Crawford, 58, told People last May that her daughter is ‘figuring out how she wants to create that private work-public balance.’

‘It’s a much different landscape than it was kind of when I was her age. Like anything, there’s good and bad sides to it,’ she said.
‘The good thing is you have direct communication with your audience,’ explained Crawford. ‘The bad thing can be, it’s a lot of pressure and you see a lot of snarky comments on there.’
Gerber can next be seen in the Saturday Night Live origin movie 1975, playing budding actress and Chevy Chase‘s second wife Jacqueline Carlin.
Meanwhile, Butler’s latest role was in Dune: Part Two, which impressed in February with an $82 million domestic opening.
