Austin Butler Addresses Emily Ratajkowski Dating Rumors

by

Austin Butler isn’t blurring the lines when it comes to relationship rumors.

I’ve been following Austin Butler’s career closely, and all the buzz about him and Emily Ratajkowski had me curious! It seems like after they were spotted out and about in New York City, everyone started wondering if they were dating. Now, he’s finally addressing the rumors and letting us know where things really stand between them.

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the 34-year-old explained, ‘I have a lot of friends. We’re just friends who had dinner together.’

Austin and Emily, both 34, started dating rumors in September after they were spotted together at a party celebrating the movie Caught Stealing. They were seen looking affectionate again just a few days later at the popular Waverly Inn.

The same month, the star of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was spotted having dinner with an unidentified woman, and fans online quickly guessed it was TikTok personality Hailey Kalil, known as Haleyybaylee. While she claimed the rumors weren’t true, she seemed to enjoy the speculation.

The influencer, who was formerly married to NFL player Matt Kalil, jokingly told TMZ on September 4th that while she wasn’t the one, she wished she was the one being talked about. She then playfully invited people to message her, saying, ‘Austin, my DMs are open.’

Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber broke up earlier this year after dating for three years. Butler, who usually keeps his personal life to himself, recently explained why he’s changed how he looks at things.

He explained to Vanity Fair that he preferred to keep his personal life private. He didn’t want to live a limited life simply because he was worried about other people’s opinions or judgments.

Currently single, the former star of The Carrie Diaries hopes to eventually find a partner and start a family when the time feels right.

He explained that life is precious, and he wants to use that understanding to become a better friend, partner, and eventually, a good husband and father, if he’s blessed with a family.

In June 2024, athlete Jason Kelce jokingly responded to a fan’s comment on social media. The fan had observed that Kelce appeared to not wash his legs or feet, to which Kelce tweeted, “What kind of weirdo washes their feet…”

The retired Philadelphia Eagles player later doubled down on his comments.

On his podcast, New Heights with his brother Travis Kelce, he joked, ‘Who would wash your feet? And I mean, if I see dirt, I’ll definitely scrub it off.’

More than ten years after telling a story about witnessing a clown’s death in a car explosion at the circus when he was a child, the actor known for Twilight has confessed that the story was made up.

Robert remembered telling The New York Times Style Magazine in December 2024 that he reacted with complete surprise, saying, “What on earth? Are you possessed?”

As for what he said during the 2011 Today interview promoting his film Water for Elephants?

He explained that one of the clowns had died in an accident. Their small car, a prop used in the show, unexpectedly exploded, causing everyone to panic and run for safety. It was a truly frightening experience.

Grandma knows best.

In an October 2022 episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian shared a personal story about how her grandmother, Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell, unexpectedly played a role in a private moment with her then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

Kim Kardashian told MJ, Kris Jenner, and Khloé Kardashian that she and Pete Davidson were at the Beverly Hills Hotel when she remembered something her grandmother told her. She explained that her grandmother said having sex in front of a fireplace is how you truly live life, so they decided to do it as a tribute to Kris.

Grandma’s reaction? A nod of approval.

Kim found it unsettling to think about her grandmother before being intimate, and MJ responded by saying she understood, but she had been younger once too.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have a very close family, including their children, 8-year-old Wyatt and 6-year-old Dimitri, and their love for each other is limitless.

So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home.

She told TopMob News in September 2022 that this also extends to the bathroom. She explained it’s simply become normal for her family and children to openly discuss and accept natural bodily functions.

Mila explained she finally gave in and let her family enter after they repeatedly asked to come in. She said she just decided it was easier to leave the door open.

Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she’d flush that particular boundary away.

She said she never imagined she’d become comfortable enough to use the restroom with the door open.

Ghouls just want to have fun.

During an October 2022 episode of The View, while discussing a woman who claimed her home was haunted by “sexual ghosts,” Sara Haines posed a surprising question to her co-hosts: Could someone actually get pregnant after having sex with a ghost?

Luckily, Joy Behar, her co-host, chimed in with a humorous response: “I’ve had encounters with ghosts and haven’t gotten pregnant.”

“I’m going to leave that be,” Whoopi Goldberg responded. “I’m not sure everyone heard what Joy just said, but I’m going to move on from it.”

Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb are very close friends, but Hoda recently learned something surprising about her co-host on Today. While preparing for an episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, Hoda found out that Jenna always goes without underwear.

Hoda Kotb shared a funny story from November 2022 on Today with Hoda and Jenna. She explained that they both needed to quickly change outfits and had to head back to the dressing room. While there, Hoda realized Jenna Bush Hager doesn’t wear underwear.

Jenna’s rationale? Well, no underwear might just be more convenient to her.

She explained that the style creates a more flattering shape and also makes packing easier, adding that there are many other benefits too.

Looks like someone hasn’t been keeping up.

Britney Spears related to a popular line from Keke Palmer – “He could be walking down the street, and I wouldn’t know a thing” – and confessed she wasn’t familiar with Pete Davidson or Scott Disick.

Britney shared a funny video from March featuring Pete Davidson—who was dating Kim Kardashian at the time—and Kourtney Kardashian’s ex, Scott Disick, having a night out. She said the video had her laughing a lot.

Britney explained she was re-sharing the video because she didn’t know who was in it, but it had made her laugh a lot!

Before Chris Evans became famous as Captain America and was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2022, Jana Kramer dated him and thought he was a charming and attractive guy.

The singer shared on her podcast, Whine Down with Jana Kramer, that this happened over ten years ago. While she doesn’t remember exactly how many times they went out, she clearly remembers the last time they were together.

I remember Jana telling me that Chris invited her over when he had some friends visiting from Boston. She was around 26 at the time, and it just seemed like a casual get-together.

Jana recalled that the last thing she remembered was her partner going to the bathroom right after she’d eaten asparagus, which gives urine a noticeable smell. They didn’t end up intimate that night; he stayed up late with friends, and the next morning, Jana left his house feeling embarrassed – what she jokingly called the ‘asparagus walk of shame’.

She added, “I never heard from him again.”

Not all of these confessions are amusing.

As a lifestyle expert, I was shocked to learn that Elisabeth Finch, a writer for a popular TV show, recently confessed to fabricating a years-long battle with a rare bone cancer. Back in 2015, she shared her story with ELLE magazine, and it even became the basis for a storyline on Grey’s Anatomy. It’s incredibly unsettling to discover it was all untrue, and she admitted the deception just last month.

Elisabeth recently shared with The Ankler newsletter that a lie she told at age 34 was the biggest regret of her life. She explained that the lie grew over time, becoming a heavy burden she kept hidden. She also clarified that she has never been diagnosed with cancer.

Finch, who was temporarily removed from his role on the ABC medical show before ultimately quitting, admitted, “I messed up badly. It was completely unacceptable, and I take full responsibility.”

Beauty is pain, but Kim Kardashian might be able to stomach it.

The reality star told The New York Times she’d try almost anything to look younger.

She admitted in June that she’d consider doing almost anything – even something incredibly unpleasant – if it meant she could look younger. She even jokingly suggested she might eat something disgusting daily if it had that effect.

Kim told Allure in July 2022 that she was mostly kidding when she made the comment, but admitted it wasn’t a completely awful idea.

Kim thought for a moment and then said, ‘Honestly, I’d probably eat something awful if I believed it would make me look younger – even if it was a bowl of poop every day!’

Asked how much she could eat, she said, “Perhaps just a small bite.” She added that a full bowl would be too much for her.

Jelly Roll could’ve used some saving from himself.

During an April 2025 interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the singer of “Save Me” shared a truly embarrassing story, and he didn’t shy away from the details.

“I pooped myself one time,” he admitted. “I did, I’m sorry.”

To be honest, Jelly Roll (whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord) didn’t intend to cause such serious harm.

He firmly believed it was just a harmless prank. “I sincerely apologize,” he said. “I saw the audience change from supportive to completely against me.”
