Kaia Gerber's Dating History Includes Pete Davidson, Jacob Elordi, and More
THE RUNDOWN Model Kaia Gerber has been in the spotlight since childhood, being the daughter of super model Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber and in brand campaigns since she was a child. When she was still a teenager in 2019, she told British Vogue that her early career kept her too busy for relationships. 'When I'm working, I don't have the energy to even flirt with anyone. I'm sorry, I just can't,' Gerber said. 'But I'm not losing hope in all love forever.' In 2021, while talking to Vogue, Gerber expanded on how her romantic life had developed. 'I found myself in situations where I was, like, I actually don't have the life experience that I need to handle this,' she said of dating. 'You know, I was doing fashion month, but I was so young I had kissed, like, only one person. I had never had a high school sweetheart or anything.' Gerber has frequently been linked to older men, and explained that while working in fashion, she was mostly surrounded by older people. 'I got put in situations where one day I'd wake up and be like, 'How did I get here? I have no idea what I'm doing, and I need help,'' she explained. 'And being able to ask for that help was amazing. That's what real growing up means, not being afraid to ask.' In her process of discovery, Gerber has been in a number of high-profile relationships with other stars. Here's everything to know about Kaia Gerber's dating history so far. Model Wellington Grant was linked to Gerber in early 2019, but they never confirmed if they were dating. In February, they were seen several times in New York, including leaving the Mercer Hotel together on Valentine's Day. They later were spotted in Milan and Paris. They were seen together in March that year at a Stella McCartney show during Fashion Week. Since neither model ever admitted to being in a relationship, there's no known reason for why it may have fizzled out. In late 2019, the then 18-year-old model was reportedly dating the then 25-year-old comedian Pete Davidson. Page Six stated that they likely met while at an Alexander Wang show in June 2019, where Davidson made his fashion debut and Gerber also modeled. Davidson had been dating actress Margaret Qualley, but they split sometime in August. By November, sources told E! that Gerber and Davidson were official. 'Kaia and Pete are definitely in a romantic relationship,' one insider stated. 'They have been friends for a while now and run in the same friend circle, but became romantic recently. They started hanging out alone more often after meeting up in NYC in October. Kaia expressed she loved Pete's personality. She thinks he is charming and is very intrigued.' Davidson was living in New York City, but had been visiting Gerber in Malibu. 'They have been texting a lot this past month and are definitely seeing where it goes,' the source said. For his birthday on November 18, Gerber brought the Saturday Night Live star a birthday cake. She also brought him to a Miami wedding as her date that month. They broke up soon after, and Davidson spoke in February 2020 about how he needed to go to rehab while they were dating. 'She's very young, and I'm fucking going through a lot, and it was before I went to rehab,' Davidson said. 'It's just like, she should be having fun. She shouldn't have to worry about some dude that just has issues and shit. She should be enjoying her work." He added, 'It just wasn't the right place or the right time at all. Her parents were really helpful and stuff, so they're cool.' Cindy Crawford told Vogue in an interview that they tried to be supportive of Gerber dating Davidson while conscious it might not work out. 'So many people have difficult teen years with their kids, and we thought we'd kind of skated through that period,' Crawford said. 'And a little later, it hit us in ways we didn't necessarily expect. But you just have to let your kids fly and be there to pick them up if they fall.' In September 2020, Gerber was linked to Euphoria actor Jacob Elordi after they were seen together on both coasts and during a Los Cabos trip that month with her parents. 'Jacob is very sweet to Kaia,' a source told People in November. 'They are always very loving and cute together. It's obvious that Cindy and Rande approve of Jacob, too. They spend a lot of time together.' In her June 2021 interview with Vogue, Gerber said of her relationship, '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.' In September 2021, they walked the red carpet at the opening gala for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. They broke up a month later. In early 2022, while being interviewed by Men's Health, Elordi had nothing but kind words for his former flame. 'She handles herself wonderfully publicly,' he explained. 'And I've learned so much from her about how to handle it, how to deal with it, and just kind of be whatever about it, you know?' In December 2021, Gerber was linked to actor Austin Butler, but they weren't red carpet official until May 2022, when they were photographed at the 2022 Met Gala. A few weeks later, they were seen kissing at the Cannes premiere of his film Elvis. Butler won a Golden Globe for the film in January 2023, and Gerber was by his side. She joined him again in March at the annual Vanity Fair Oscar Party. They continued to date throughout the year and into 2024. They were last seen in New York City in August of that year. In January 2025, TMZ reported that they'd broken up before the new year, with a source saying, 'The relationship just simply ran its course after a good three years together.' In early 2025, a source told People that Gerber was dating actor Lewis Pullman, the 32-year-old son of actor Bill Pullman. They were seen together on his birthday at Los Angeles restaurant Salazar. 'They've been spending time together the last few weeks,' the source said. 'They're a cute couple and very low-key.' Another source speaking with Us Weekly said they'd actually been dating for several months. 'Kaia and Lewis have actually been together for a while now,' the insider explained. '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.' The source added, 'In early December, Kaia and Lewis started seriously hanging out and were seen all around L.A., but mostly on the east side. Kaia would make sure to be in a hat to try and be unnoticed, but they would be at their favorite restaurants, bars and clubs, holding hands and showing PDA. They were just frequenting crowds that didn't really know them.' The new couple has 'known each other for a while now,' and 'run in the same circle and have similar friend groups, and that's how they were introduced,' the insider went on, saying their connection is 'very natural and relaxed.' They continued, 'Kaia likes that this relationship feels low-pressure and that Lewis is a very low-key have a lot of chemistry and a very easygoing relationship. She's really happy and feels like she can be herself. There's no pressure to be an A-list couple like there was in her past relationships.'

Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori defiant in candy bikini after 50 Cent attack
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Bianca Censori has stepped out in yet another ultra-revealing ensemble, wearing just a tiny candy bikini on an outing with husband Kanye West. Since the Australian model, 30, married the rapper, 48, in 2022, the public has become accustomed to seeing rather a lot of her, whether it be her totally sheer Grammys dress or a barely-there underwear set. Consequently, concerns have been raised for her welfare, with the internet convinced that Ye is dictating what his spouse wears, especially given that he will always be fully clothed next to her. But as speculation about the nature of her marriage to Ye rages on, Bianca turned heads once more on Saturday with plenty of skin on show. She and the Yeezy fashion designer were seen exiting a chrome Mercedes-Maybach before arriving at the Mercer Hotel in New York, later making their way to a Brooklyn studio. In just her bra and a thong, Bianca's skimpy attire was made entirely out of sweets, not holding much in. Whether or not it was real, edible candy is anyone's guess, but we can't imagine it's the kind of look you'd see an Oompa Loompa rocking in the Chocolate Factory. The brunette wore her long locks in a sleek, straight style, was clutching her phone, and added a pair of metallic silver heels. In stark contrast, walking beside her, Ye was entirely covered, wearing black trousers, a grey hoodie, and tan boots. Maintaining his usual stoic expression, he covered his eyes with shades. The appearance marks Ye and Bianca's first public outing since rap star 50 Cent made a dig at the Gold Digger hitmaker's wife. Last week, Ye unexpectedly arrived at court as Sean 'Diddy' Combs' trial continues. He faces serious federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, which he has denied and pleaded not guilty to. Ye's appearance is said to have been short-lived, as, according to CNN, since he was not listed as an official attendee, he was directed to an overflow courtroom. After watching the proceedings via closed-circuit video for less than an hour, he exited the building and was seen driving off. Afterwards, 50 – real name Curtis James Jackson III – made it known how he felt, with Ye's arrival being widely interpreted as a display of support for Combs. Taking to Instagram, the Candy Shop hitmaker posted an AI-generated image of himself wearing a white ensemble similar to Ye's court look. In a savage caption, he dragged both Ye and his wife, making a reference to her nearly naked Grammys frock from earlier in the year. 'We are wearing white in honor of the freak offs,' he wrote. 'Damn Ye, you should have brought your dirty little wife with that Grammys outfit! @50centaction.' The 'freak offs' comment was seemingly a jibe at the unsettling sexual assault allegations surrounding Combs, who allegedly held days-long sex parties, which also involved ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. While famously loose-lipped on social media, Ye did not retort. He has, however, not made a secret of his friendship with Combs, having ignited rumours that the two had worked on a song together, on which he wanted daughter North West, 11, to feature, much to the fury of her mother, his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. In March, the exes' latest row went public when Ye released a track titled Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunshine, which he said was a collaboration between Diddy, North, King Combs, and Jasmine Williams. Ye posted text messages online between himself and Kim, in which the Stronger rapper accused his former partner and her family of limiting his access to the children. More Trending It's been said that Kim, who was married to Ye from 2014 to 2022 and shared four kids with him, has displayed solidarity with Bianca during the time she has been with her ex. While reports recently claimed that Bianca was hoping to end their marriage due to living in an 'aggressive situation', the couple seemed to patch things up. However, Skims founder Kim reportedly wants Bianca to know she is there for her, with a source telling Page Six that she has shown 'support' for Bianca and has let her know she's there to 'talk if she needs'. An insider claimed to the outlet that Kim 'feels like she's the only other person on this planet who truly knows what Bianca has been through'. Got a story?

Private Security, Cocaine: How Crypto Kingpins Controlled New York City Nightlife
John Woeltz and William Duplessie, the two men arrested for allegedly kidnapping and assaulting Italian tourist Michael Valentino. Teofrasto Carturan once brought a freezer bag full of cocaine and hired four private security guards to keep everything under control at New York's high-end clubs. Mr Woeltz and Mr Duplessie hung Mr Carturan off a roof ledge, shocked him with electrical wires and attacked him with a chainsaw to force him to reveal the password of his Bitcoin wallet, reportedly valued at $30 million. Before they were arrested and charged with kidnapping with intent to collect ransom, assault, and unlawful imprisonment, the two men used Charlie Zakkour, a former club promoter, to get into exclusive clubs, said two women who partied with them. One of the women claimed that Mr Zakkour reached out to her, saying he knew some wealthy crypto people staying at the Mercer Hotel who wanted to spend $30,000 at a popular lounge called Paul's Baby Grand, according to The NY Post. Describing the scene, she said Mr William poured the entire bag full of cocaine onto a metal tray and casually walked away. She mentioned it was crazy because the amount of cocaine was worth the cost of her college tuition fee or even more. Another woman told The NY Post that she met these crypto traders in April at Mr Woeltz's rented townhouse in Soho after she was invited by an organiser from The Box club. These promoters pulled her, along with other girls, into a big van and took them to the exclusive party, she said. There was security everywhere, and a girl was checking coats at the entrance. She claimed, "I've never seen anything like that. Workers were serving the food and drinks — Don Julio 1942 and Grey Goose," Ms Woeltz added. The woman said she left the party after about an hour because she felt they were rude and didn't bother to have a conversation. "There was no politeness, there was no small talk. I felt like a piece of meat," she alleged. One of the sources told The NY Post that she stopped hanging out with them because she found them suspicious, but by then, the two had already gained access to popular clubs like Nebula, Hearsay and The Box. She mentioned, "I cut them off. Just because the vibes were off. It felt shady." They added, "I really regretted putting them onto the people and the places I know after I couldn't escape them anywhere."
