Kaia Gerber drops major clue about new romance during outing with actor Lewis Pullman ahead of Mother's Day
Kaia Gerber has dropped a big clue amid her budding romance with actor Lewis Pullman during the pair's cozy outing on Saturday in Los Angeles.
The model, 23 - who recently dropped a capsule collection for retailer Mango - was first linked to the Thunderbolts star during his 32nd birthday dinner four months earlier.
She previously dated Austin Butler from 2021 until their split in October 2024. However, the news of their breakup didn't come to light until January of this year.
Gerber and her new beau - who is the son of Hollywood star Bill Pullman - enjoyed a lowkey excursion and were also joined by his mom Tamara Hurwitz ahead of Mother's Day.
Kaia has seemingly taken a major step in her relationship by getting close to his family and at one point, she shared an embrace with Lewis' mom.
The trio were seen standing underneath the hot California sunshine as they held a lighthearted conversation. Gerber and Pullman later embarked on an errand run to pick up a few items.

The Palm Royale actress was stylishly casual in a light blue minidress which was layered with a tan jacket.
She additionally slipped into a pair of white socks and comfy Asics sneakers to complete the ensemble.
Gerber - who is the daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford - parted her brunette locks in the middle as the strands flowed down in light waves.
Lewis donned a pair of black jeans as well as a printed shirt and cap that was placed on top of his head.
The model's bond with Pullman's family has appeared to have grown stronger in recent months.
Back in March, her boyfriend's parents were spotted supporting the actress at her play Evanston Salt Costs Climbing which ended production that same month.
At the time, both the While You Were Sleeping actor and Tamara - whom he tied the knot with in 1987 - visited the Matrix Theater in L.A. where the stage show took place.
Kaia and Lewis have been seen together on a few occasions since being romantically linked, but last month in April the actor dodged questions about the beauty while attending the Thunderbolts premiere.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Pullman was asked if he had brought a date along with him.
In response, the star simply answered with: 'No, I don't have a date tonight. My family's my date.'
The reporter followed up by bringing up the topic of 'a certain brunette we would've liked to see you bring along as a date.'
Lewis once again sidestepped from the question and replied, 'Well, listen, we're all just lucky to be here on the carpet, hanging, looking forward to the Thunderbolts.'
Gerber and Pullman were first seen in January as they cozied up together at his 32nd birthday dinner at Salazar restaurant in Los Angeles.
The pair couldn't keep their eyes off each other while seated at an outdoor table - and later left the eatery together.
It came only weeks after sources told TMZ that she and Austin Butler had separated following three years of dating.
A source revealed to Us Weekly the reasoning behind the supermodel's decision to keep her budding romance with Lewis out of the public eye after her split from the Elvis star.
Kaia and Lewis have been seen together on a few occasions since being romantically linked, but last month in April the actor dodged questions about the beauty while attending the Thunderbolts premiere
'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.
'In early December, Kaia and Lewis started seriously hanging out and were seen all around L.A., but mostly on the east side,' the insider continued.
In regards how the new couple were able to keep their romance hidden, the source explained that the actress 'would make sure to be in a hat' or disguise herself in other ways to go to 'their favorite restaurants, bars and clubs.'
And then together, the pair would be 'holding hands and showing PDA,' with the insider adding, 'They were just frequenting crowds that didn't really know them.'
Kaia and Lewis have also 'known each other for a while now. They run in the same circle and have similar friend groups, and that's how they were introduced. Kaia likes that this relationship feels low-pressure and that Lewis is a very low-key guy.'
Pullman is also an actor and is known for his roles in Top Gun: Maverick, Salem's Lot, The Strangers: Prey At Night, and the series Outer Range.
He recently starred in the Marvel's Thunderbolts alongside an A-list cast comprising of Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Along with following in her mother's modeling footsteps, Kaia has also showed off her acting skills in shows such as Palm Royale and American Horror Stories.
Kaia has also starred in a variety of movies such as Bottoms, Babylon and Saturday Night.
During a recent interview with Today, Gerber gushed that Crawford has always been her 'biggest inspiration and hero; seen in 2024 in Paris
During a recent interview with Today earlier this week, Gerber gushed that Crawford has always been her 'biggest inspiration and hero.'
She also added, 'I think probably no matter what she did, I would have wanted to do that.'
Elsewhere in the conversation, Kaia explained that Cindy is 'not a stage mom.'

How groundbreaking gay author Edmund White paved the way for other writers
Andrew Sean Greer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, remembers the first time he read Edmund White. It was the summer of 1989, he was beginning his second year at Brown University and he had just come out. Having learned that White would be teaching at Brown, he found a copy of White's celebrated coming-of-age novel, 'A Boy's Own Story.' 'I'd never read anything like it — nobody had — and what strikes me looking back is the lack of shame or self-hatred or misery that imbued so many other gay male works of fiction of that time,' says Greer, whose 'Less' won the Pulitzer for fiction in 2018. "I, of course, did not know then I was reading a truly important literary work. All I knew is I wanted to read more. ' Reading was all we had in those days — the private, unshared experience that could help you explore your private life," he said. "Ed invented so many of us." White, a pioneer of contemporary gay literature, died this week at age 85. He left behind such widely read works as 'A Boy's Own Story' and 'The Beautiful Room Is Empty' and a gift to countless younger writers: Validation of their lives, the discovery of themselves through the stories of others. Greer and other authors speak of White's work as more than just an influence, but as a rite of passage: "How a queer man might begin to question all of the deeply held, deeply religious, deeply American assumptions about desire, love, and sex — who is entitled to have it, how it must be had, what it looks like,' says Robert Jones Jr., whose novel above love between two enslaved men, ' The Prophets,' was a National Book Award finalist in 2021. Jones remembers being a teenager in the 1980s when he read 'A Boy's Own Story." He found the book at a store in a gay neighborhood in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, 'the safest place for a person to be openly queer in New York City,' he said. 'It was a scary time for me because all the news stories about queer men revolved around AIDS and dying, and how the disease was the Christian god's vengeance against the 'sin of homosexuality,'' Jones added. 'It was the first time that I had come across any literature that confirmed that queer men have a childhood; that my own desires were not, in fact, some aberration, but were natural; and that any suffering and loneliness I was experiencing wasn't divine retribution, but was the intention of a human-made bigotry that could be, if I had the courage and the community, confronted and perhaps defeated," he said. Starting in the 1970s, White published more than 25 books, including novels, memoirs, plays, biographies and 'The Joy of Gay Sex,' a response to the 1970s bestseller 'The Joy of Sex." He held the rare stature for a living author of having a prize named for him, the Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction, as presented by the Publishing Triangle. 'White was very supportive of young writers, encouraging them to explore and expand new and individual visions,' said Carol Rosenfeld, chair of the Triangle. The award was 'one way of honoring that support.' Winners such the prize was founded, in 2006, have included 'The Prophets,' Myriam Gurba 's 'Dahlia Season' and Joe Okonkwo's 'Jazz Moon.' Earlier this year, the award was given to Jiaming Tang's ' Cinema Love,' a story of gay men in rural China. Tang remembered reading 'A Boy's Own Story' in his early 20s, and said that both the book and White were 'essential touchpoints in my gay coming-of-age.' 'He writes with intimate specificity and humor, and no other writer has captured the electric excitement and crushing loneliness that gay men experience as they come of age,' Tang said. "He's a towering figure. There'd be no gay literature in America without Edmund White.'

Why a Minneapolis neighborhood sharpens a giant pencil every year
Residents will gather Saturday in a scenic Minneapolis neighborhood for an annual ritual — the sharpening of a gigantic No. 2 pencil. The 20-foot-tall (6-meter-tall) pencil was sculpted out of a mammoth oak tree at the home of John and Amy Higgins. The beloved tree was damaged in a storm a few years ago when fierce winds twisted the crown off. Neighbors mourned. A couple even wept. But the Higginses saw it not so much as a loss, but as a chance to give the tree new life. The sharpening ceremony on their front lawn has evolved into a community spectacle that draws hundreds of people to the leafy neighborhood on Lake of the Isles, complete with music and pageantry. Some people dress as pencils or erasers. Two Swiss alphorn players will provide part of this year's entertainment. The hosts will commemorate a Minneapolis icon, the late music superstar Prince, by handing out purple pencils on what would have been his 67th birthday. In the wake of the storm, the Higginses knew they wanted to create a sculpture out of their tree. They envisioned a whimsical piece of pop art that people could recognize, but not a stereotypical chainsaw-carved, north-woods bear. Given the shape and circumference of the log, they came up with the idea of an oversized pencil standing tall in their yard. 'Why a pencil? Everybody uses a pencil,' Amy Higgins said. 'Everybody knows a pencil. You see it in school, you see it in people's work, or drawings, everything. So, it's just so accessible to everybody, I think, and can easily mean something, and everyone can make what they want of it.' So they enlisted wood sculptor Curtis Ingvoldstad to transform it into a replica of a classic Trusty brand No. 2 pencil. ' People interpret this however they want to. They should. They should come to this and find whatever they want out of it,' Ingvoldstad said. That's true even if their reaction is negative, he added. 'Whatever you want to bring, you know, it's you at the end of the day. And it's a good place. It's good to have pieces that do that for people." John Higgins said they wanted the celebration to pull the community together. 'We tell a story about the dull tip, and we're gonna get sharp,' he said. 'There's a renewal. We can write a new love letter, a thank you note. We can write a math problem, a to-do list. And that chance for renewal, that promise, people really seem to buy into and understand.' To keep the point pointy, they haul a giant, custom-made pencil sharpener up the scaffolding that's erected for the event. Like a real pencil, this one is ephemeral. Every year they sharpen it, it gets a bit shorter. They've taken anywhere from 3 to 10 inches (8 to 25 centimeters) off a year. They haven't decided how much to shave off this year. They're OK knowing that they could reduce it to a stub one day. The artist said they'll let time and life dictate its form — that's part of the magic. 'Like any ritual, you've got to sacrifice something," Ingvoldstad said. "So we're sacrificing part of the monumentality of the pencil, so that we can give that to the audience that comes, and say, 'This is our offering to you, and in goodwill to all the things that you've done this year.''

Action! Derrick Henry can parlay a 2,000-yard rushing season into a movie cameo with Adam Sandler
'King Henry' finally has the attention of 'The Waterboy.' Baltimore Ravens star running back Derrick Henry has an offer from Adam Sandler, his favorite actor, to be cast in a movie if the five-time Pro Bowl selection rushes for 2,000 yards this season. The offer grew out of Henry's appearance on radio personality Dan Patrick 's show this week to discuss his $30 million, two-year contract extension. Patrick told Henry he would get him in a Sandler movie if he made NFL history with a second 2,000-yard season. Two days later, Sandler made the offer himself in a video shown to Henry on the practice field. 'That's my dawg,' a wide-smiling Henry said while watching the video. Sandler, star of 'Happy Gilmore' and the remake of 'The Longest Yard' along with 'The Waterboy,' said he was in a hotel room while filming his greeting for Henry. At one point, Sandler turned the camera to show his bulldog. 'Two thousand yards-plus this year not only gets you in a movie, but we'll have a nice dinner together and talk about Dan Patrick's facial hair and how hard it is for him to grow it,' Sandler joked in a video posted Friday. 'I love ya and keep it up.' Sandler came up during Patrick's interview with Henry because Patrick was hearing a hoodie for the soon-to-be-released 'Happy Gilmore 2.' Sandler had given Patrick the hoodie. 'Can you do me a favor?' Henry asked Patrick. 'If you ever see him again, tell him I'm a really big fan and would really love to meet him one day.' Patrick left Sandler a voice message — and Sandler responded. 'Dan you're a real one!' Henry later wrote on social media. Henry rushed for 2,027 yards with Tennessee in 2020, when he was an All-Pro and the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year in the fifth of his eight seasons with the Titans. Henry nearly did it again as a 30-year-old in a resurgence with the Ravens last season, when he ran for 1,921 yards. Saquon Barkley of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles led the NFL with 2,005 yards. ___
