THE RUNDOWN:

  • Zoë Kravitz and Austin Butler first sparked dating rumors in October 2024 after they were spotted kissing on the set of their upcoming film, Caught Stealing.
  • In July 2025, Kravitz and Butler attended a show in New York City with the director of Caught Stealing, Darren Aronofsky. Source clarified then that they are “just friends.”
  • Now, the co-stars have started their press tour for the film.

Zoë Kravitz and Austin Butler recently sparked dating rumors, but there’s not much truth to the speculation. Last month, multiple sources told TMZ that the actors are “just friends” and “not dating like some are implying.”

The Caught Stealing co-stars have now begun their press tour, where they’ve made multiple red carpet appearances together.

They wore matching black-and-white looks at the U.K. premiere of the film on August 19:

In late July, the pair drew attention when they attended the immersive show Viola’s Room at the Shed in New York City’s Hudson Yards. But sources told TMZ that Darren Aronofsky, the director of their upcoming crime thriller Caught Stealing, arrived and left with them, so it was “definitely not a date.”

In Caught Stealing, which comes out on August 29, Kravitz and Butler play love interests, which might explain why they were photographed kissing on set back in October 2024.

Kravitz was previously engaged to Channing Tatum, the star of her directorial debut, Blink Twice. The couple ended their engagement in October 2024. When asked in her ELLE March 2025 cover story if their breakup affects how she feels about their film, Kravitz said, “Not at all.” She continued, “I love this thing that we made together, and I care for him very much... I’m so happy that all of it happened. I just feel so grateful that we got to go on that journey together.”

And she still has a lot of love for Tatum. “He has so much more coming, and I think he’s in a place as an actor where he’s feeling really confident and people are seeing different sides of him,” she said. “He’s got a lot to offer, so I’m excited for people to keep witnessing that.”

Butler previously dated Kaia Gerber, but they broke up in January 2025 after three years of dating. Sources told TMZ that “the relationship just simply ran its course.” Both he and Kravitz are currently publicly single.
