The Interconnected Love Web of Hollywood's Elite
It often seems like everyone in Hollywood dates everyone else, and that’s because they do. When it comes to romance among the biggest names in film and music, many beloved stars are dating in circles. The crème de la crème of celebrities are linked in a vast chain, centered around new couple Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz, Frankenstein star Jacob Elordi, and other A-listers. Austin Butler also features prominently in this love web, having been rumored to be involved with several recurring names. Most recently, he was thought to be having a fling with Emily Ratajkowski, but later confirmed they are just friends. However, Em Rata has her own connections to the lovers’ web. Here’s a breakdown of how the most popular young A-listers are all connected by heartstrings.
Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz
The couple began dating last summer, with fans spotting the 32-year-old singer and the Caught Stealing actress, 37, looking cozy in Rome, London, and Brooklyn. Although Harry and Zoë have not publicly spoken about their romance, sources say things got serious quickly, with a source claiming she was 'whisked off her feet' by the former One Direction star. They were even seen meeting Zoë’s father, Lenny Kravitz, for dinner, and Zoë attended Harry’s live shows before rumors of a possible engagement emerged. A sparkling ring on her finger, the Big Little Lies star made no attempt to hide that she may have become the woman to finally get Harry down on one knee. A close source confirmed to People that, after eight months of dating, they were engaged. An insider said they shared the happy news with 'a small circle,' with Zoë showing off her new accessory to friends.
Harry Styles and Emily Ratajkowski
Harry has also previously dated Emily Ratajkowski, and the pair were photographed kissing in a viral clip. They enjoyed a passionate smooch in the early hours on the streets of Tokyo, with Emily later admitting she had no idea they were being filmed or that their rendezvous would cause such a stir. 'It’s very bizarre to have certain experiences and then have the whole world know about them and comment on them,' she told Spanish Vogue. 'I’m just a person who’s gone from a three-year relationship to a four-year relationship, so this is the first time in a long time that I’ve been in a dating stage,' Emily added, having been married to Sebastian Bear-McClard and welcoming a son with him. 'The interest there is in that particular area is very strange. Not that I’m surprised, but it’s a tiny slice of my life. Most of my life is focused on my son and my work. But I guess these issues don’t inspire the same flashy headlines.'
Emily Ratajkowski and Pete Davidson
Emily, 34, also dated Pete Davidson, 21, for a couple of months in 2022. The pair was photographed spending time together at ball games and walking the streets of New York. When appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers in November 2021, Emily was asked about why women flock to the comedian, who dated Kim Kardashian and was engaged to Ariana Grande. 'He’s a professional, first of all; you should know that about Pete,' she said. 'He’s got the height. Obviously, women find him very attractive. I feel like only other men feel that he isn’t attractive. Guys are like, “Wow. What’s that guy got?” And I’m like, I mean, he seems super charming. He’s vulnerable. He’s lovely. His fingernail polish is awesome. He looks good!'
Pete Davidson and Kaia Gerber
Pete also had a brief relationship with Kaia Gerber, 24. The two started dating in October 2019, but it was short-lived, as they broke up in January 2020. Speaking about their relationship, Pete blamed his addiction problems at the time. 'She’s very young, and I’m going through a lot, and it was before I went to rehab,' he said in February 2020. 'It’s just like, she should be having fun. She shouldn’t have to worry about some dude that just has issues and stuff. She should be enjoying her work. It just wasn’t the right place or the right time at all. Her parents were really helpful and stuff, so they’re cool.' Kaia went on to date Austin Butler from 2021 to 2025 before getting together with actor Lewis Pullman, 33. Meanwhile, Pete became a dad in December to Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, whom he shares with model Elsie Hewitt, 30.
Emily Ratajkowski and Austin Butler
Emily was believed to be dating Elvis lead Austin, shortly after he worked with Zoë on Caught Stealing. For a while, rumors suggested that Austin and Zoë might have had a co-star romance, until Emily entered the picture. She and Austin were photographed sipping cocktails together, nestled in a booth at the West Village nightspot, the Waverly Inn. TMZ captured the pair looking rather cozy, with Austin slinging his arm across the back of Emily’s shoulders. However, Austin quickly shut down the rumor mill, telling Vanity Fair: 'The true answer is that I have a lot of friends, and we’re friends, and we had dinner, and that we’re friends.'
Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber
As mentioned, Austin, 34, previously dated Kaia Gerber in a long-term relationship. The couple attended the Met Gala, the Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globes, and the Oscars after-party together during their time. They were photographed on many holidays and trips but did not speak directly about one another in interviews. Actress Kaia, who is Cindy Crawford’s daughter, began dating Marvel’s Thunderbolts star Lewis Pullman in January 2025.
Jacob Elordi and Kaia Gerber
Jacob and Kaia dated for a year between September 2020 and November 2021. The two were photographed together several times during their relationship amid the pandemic, with Kaia speaking about her feelings for him in an interview with Vogue. '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,' she told the magazine in May 2021. 'Lust is touching other people or wanting them, but love is really seeing someone.'
Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade Giannulli
Jacob also dated influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli, 26. The couple was on and off from 2021, the month after Jacob ended things with Kaia. For a while, it was unclear whether they were still together, as it was said they split in August 2022, but they were spotted together in the months following. Now, Euphoria star Jacob appears to be involved with the Kardashian clan, as he has been seen with Kendall Jenner. As for Olivia, the YouTuber has since been linked to Glen Powell, having headed for dinner with the Anyone But You heartthrob, 37, in New York with Olivia’s mother, Lori Loughlin, and others.
Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner
Linking back to Harry Styles, we have his ex Kendall Jenner’s new romance with Jacob Elordi. Harry is believed to have first dated the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star from 2013 to 2014, but they were repeatedly linked up to 2019, with fans likely remembering leaked yacht pictures of them soaking up the sun shortly after One Direction’s hiatus began. While she and Harry remained friends after parting ways romantically (he later dated Olivia Wilde and Taylor Russell, and she dated Devin Booker and Bad Bunny), Kendall, 30, has now firmly moved on. The model was seen on a beach in Hawaii with Jacob this month, with TMZ photographing them on the sand, chatting, and drinking. Dating rumors first engulfed the pair during Coachella, as it was said they were spending increasing amounts of time together. A source later told People that they had been 'hanging out and getting to know each other the last couple months.'
