Online sleuths are trying to figure out who Austin Butler is dating at the moment. It’s been several months since his split with Kaia Gerber, and fans are hoping to see him move on. Fans are hoping they got their wish. The renowned actor was spotted dining with a mystery companion earlier this month. The dinner sparked speculation that he was romantically involved with several different women, all of whom bore a resemblance to the mystery date in various ways. Haley Kalil, a model and content creator, was one of the women whom fans believe resembles the lady Austin Butler was dining with. While Kalil has made content about Butler before, she insists she’s not currently dating him, nor is she the woman in the viral video. She did use the speculation to make a move on the Elvis star, though.

Haley Kalil isn’t dating Austin Butler, but she’d like to be

Haley Kalil says she is not the mystery woman spotted with Austin Butler. Her team told TMZ that Kalil, who is better known by her TikTok handle, Haleybaylee, was not dining with the Elvis star on the evening in question. They note that Butler’s mystery woman doesn’t share Kalil’s signature red locks. While the mismatched hair color is an easy way to debunk the rumors, Kalil seems to wish they weren’t rumors. She used all the speculation to make her move. She told TMZ that while she’s not the mystery lady, she sure would like to be. Kalil noted her DMs are open to Butler. It sounds like he’d absolutely get a response if he decided to slide in.

The speculation surrounding Butler and Kalil may be directly tied to videos she has made in the past. She uploaded a video to TikTok in 2024 of her talking to Butler at an event. In another, she stood to the side as Butler walked past her and a crowd of people. While some fans assumed she and Butler might be well acquainted with each other, Kalil’s suggestion that he slide into her DMs seems to prove she doesn’t know him all that well.

Who has Haley Kalil dated?

While Austin Butler’s dining activities are what initially led to speculation, Kalil’s own complicated dating history and career fueled it further. Kalil is well known for several content series that focus on her dating life, but no one is ever sure if the men mentioned are actually her partners or if she’s fabricating relationships for content purposes. Her “My Billionaire Boyfriend” series is clearly satire, though some fans suspect she might have been in a relationship with an ultra-rich man at one point. Kalil has also filled content with other creators looking romantic, only to later reveal it’s a “business” relationship.

She has only had a couple of confirmed romances as a public figure. Her first public romance was with her now ex-husband, Matt Kalil. Matt Kalil and the content creator met while he was playing for the Minnesota Vikings and she was working at a lab in her home state. They married in 2015. While Haley followed Matt across the country for football assignments, she quietly worked as a model. In 2018, she was featured in Sports Illustrated. She was invited back the following year, launching her career. In 2022, the duo split. Haley kept the couple’s Manhattan apartment.

More recently, she was dating Kyle Vieira, a model. Although it’s unclear how long the couple was together, they had been posting content as a duo for several months. In August, though, Kalil confirmed that she was officially single. She took the split well. Kalil insisted her ex was “kind” and wonderful, but that things just didn’t work out. The announcement came just weeks before she jokingly told Butler to slide into her DMs.
