Austin Butler & Emily Ratajkowski Spark NYC Dating Rumors with Cozy Outing
Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski Spotted on Cozy Dinner Date
Actors Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski were seen sharing an intimate dinner in the West Village, fueling romance speculation. The pair was photographed getting close at the Waverly Inn last Friday evening, with witnesses describing them as “very giggly and cute.” According to reports, Ratajkowski enjoyed a martini, while Butler sipped an Old Fashioned.
Sources say the starlets talked for two hours, with Ratajkowski leaning into Butler multiple times and him resting his arm on her shoulder. Despite minimal public displays of affection, their close interaction hints at a budding connection. Representatives for both actors have yet to comment.
This outing comes weeks after the two were spotted together at the afterparty for the NYC premiere of Butler’s film “Caught Stealing.” An image from that event shows them sitting close, although their faces are turned away from the camera.
Prior to this, Butler was rumored to be dating his co-star Zoë Kravitz, after they were seen exchanging flirty remarks in Paris last month. However, sources later clarified that Butler and Kravitz are just friends. Kravitz has also been photographed displaying affection with Harry Styles.
Meanwhile, Ratajkowski, previously married to Sebastian Bear-McClard, divorced in September 2022 and is known to have a son named Sylvester. She was last linked to country artist Shaboozey.
