Real reason behind Kaia Gerber, Austin Butler's split: Source

Kaia Garber and Austin Butler's recent split seemed to stem from the meddling of Kaia's famous parents, Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford

After the romance of the duo's reportedly came to an end in late 2024, a source revealed to DailyMail that Kaia is blaming her parents as they questioned Austin's intentions with their daughter.

"What really sealed the deal about the break up is the talk Kaia’s parents had with Austin about his relationship with their daughter," an insider told the outlet.

"He didn’t appreciate the fact they butted into their relationship. It rubbed Austin up the wrong way."

Back in October, the outlet reported that Kaia's parents had a serious talk with Austin about the future of their daughter with the Oscar-winning actor which occurred out of fear that Kaia could be wasting the 'best years of her life' if he wasn’t ready to commit long term.

Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford also inquired when he might propose.

"Kaia’s putting on a brave face in public over the break up but the truth is she’s upset," the source continued. "She’s partly blaming her parents for the talk they had with Austin telling him he could be wasting the best years of Kaia’s life because he wasn’t making a solid commitment."

"Kaia’s told her parents they had no right to come between them," the tipster added.

Gerber and Butler first fueled the dating rumors in December of 2021, when they were spotted at a yoga session in Los Angeles together.
