Kaia Gerber gets a warm embrace from beau Austin Butler as they pick up groceries in Los Angeles

They’ve been rumored to be an item since last year when they were spotted embarking on a trip out of town before Christmas.

And Kaia Gerber felt the love as she received a warm embrace from Austin Butler while the pair picked up groceries in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon.

The 20-year-old supermodel sported a pair of athletic shorts with a sweatshirt while walking her dog with the actor, 30, after stopping by the LA-favorite Erewhon market.

Kaia was dressed down for the outdoor adventure and wore a grey Gerber University sweatshirt with navy blue Nike spandex shorts.

She pounded the pavement in a pair of matching trainers with tall socks, and carried an olive green purse across her shoulder.

Her dark brown hair was worn naturally wavy and she wore a face mask to protect herself amid surging cases of COVID-19.

A source told PEOPLE the pair ‘are in fact dating’ and that ‘all of her friends think they are so adorable’ together.

‘It’s a total step up from her last relationship and she knows it too,’ said the insider, referencing Kaia’s ex Jacob. They continued: ‘She seems really happy. All of her friends think he’s really cute.’

Prior to her relationship with Elordi, Kaia was briefly involved with Pete Davidson. 

Austin was in a relationship with Vanessa Hudgens for nearly nine years, and the former couple announced their split in 2020.
