Kaia Gerber and Lewis Pullman are officially dating, Gerber confirmed on Jake Shane’s Therapuss podcast. After months of dating rumors, she openly discussed their relationship during the Oct. 1 episode.
When Shane mentioned that they have a “healthy” relationship and Pullman “takes care of” Gerber, she agreed. “I really feel like if you have the opportunity to date a friend, do it, because it just is so much better,” Gerber added. “I would never want to fight with my friends. I never want to be mad at my friends. I respect my friends. It just is a whole other thing. And I think sometimes you forget that you like someone when you love them.”
Gerber also gave some dating advice — according to her, it’s OK to be a little “selfish” while dating. “I used to be the opposite way where I would completely just change my personality, really, my values for someone,” she explained. “I always dated people that were older than me, and so I was very willing to give up everything. I was like, ‘I can show you I love you by completely, giving up my life for you,’ which is actually not how you build respect and trust and is not good in the long run, because then you start to bring a little bit more of who you really are into the relationship. And they’re like, ‘No, I like that person before.’”
According to her, this relationship with Pullman has helped change her attitude. “A lot is being healed in this relationship,” she said.
Although this is the first time that Gerber has publicly confirmed she’s dating Pullman, the couple did not exactly shy away from public outings amid dating rumors. According to an Us Weekly source, the couple began dating in December. “Kaia and Lewis have actually been together for a while now,” the insider told the outlet on Jan. 31. “They started dating in early December [2024]. They kept it under wraps until the news of her and Austin’s split came out. Kaia and Austin have been broken up since October.”
Per the Us source, they kept things off the radar by staying on the east side of Los Angeles, wearing hats, and “frequenting crowds that didn’t really know them.” The insider continued, “They have a lot of chemistry and a very easygoing relationship. She’s really happy and feels like she can be herself.”
Gerber and Pullman were first spotted together on Jan. 29, when the model joined the actor and his father, Bill Pullman, for his 32nd birthday dinner at Salazar in Los Angeles. At the time, an insider told People, “They’ve been spending time together the last few weeks.”
The source added, “They’re a cute couple and very low-key.”
The next month, Pullman attended Gerber’s show, Evanston Salt Costs Climbing, at the Matrix Theatre in LA. Though they were not spotted together, in Backgrid photos from the February performance, Pullman was captured entering the theater. Following the show, Gerber was photographed leaving with a bouquet of roses.
Still, it sounds like the couple is happy to keep things “low-key.” Pullman was asked about Gerber at the Thunderbolts* premiere on April 28, and he kept his responses coy. At the time, an Entertainment Tonight reporter asked Pullman if he had a “certain brunette” date for the evening. “No, I don’t have a date tonight. My family’s my date,” he said. “Well, listen — we’re all just lucky to be here on the carpet, hanging, we’re looking forward to Thunderbolts*.”
Then, in May, the duo looked cozy as the attended a performance of The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway. An insider told Page Six, “They are definitely together. Kaia sat resting her head on Lewis’ shoulder throughout the performance.”
Clearly, the couple is still going strong. In September, they were photographed holding hands, arriving at the Venice International Film Festival 2025.
