Austin Butler has been melting hearts since his roles on Sharpays Fabulous Adventures and The Carrie Diaries in 2011 and 2013 respectively but its his role as Elvis in Baz Luhrmans critically acclaimed film that truly landed him heartthrob status.
However as the actor continues to become increasingly more popular some longtime fans can not help but get nostalgic when they think of who was always rooting for him as he paved his way into Hollywood, and that is his former girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens.
The longtime couple broke hearts when they announced they were breaking up in 2020 after dating for nine years. They met through their mutual best friend Ashley Tisdale Vanessas co star in the High School Musical trilogy and Austins in its spin off Sharpays Fabulous Adventure. Two years after their shocking split more attention falling on the behind the scenes of the making of Elvis led fans to resurface a clip in which the Tick Tick Boom actress details how excited she was for her then boyfriend to land the part.
Speaking on Live With Kelly and Ryan back in 2019, she grew immediately giddy talking about his big break, and said I am so so proud. He has always been so inspiring to me Its so crazy because last December we were driving along and we were listening to Christmas music and then an Elvis Presley Christmas song came on. She explained He had just dyed his hair dark and I was looking at him and he was singing along and I was like Babe you need to play Elvis just a month before the movie was announced. Since the video resurfaced following its premiere fans of the former couple were even more heartbroken to know she wouldn't be by his side as what she called his calling came to fruition. So who was?
The first woman to be linked to Austin since the split was in fact his Elvis co star Olivia DeJonge. Though neither confirmed whether they were dating, the two were spotted cuddling up together at a movie theater in late 2020.A year later he was linked to yet another bombshell Lily Rose Depp when photos were snapped of the two sharing a kiss after a night out in London. Finally the woman who was right by his side as he premiered the long awaited biopic Kaia Gerber. The two drove the internet crazy with their PDA on both the Met Gala red carpet and at Cannes and it appears as if they are still going strong.
