Kaia Gerber went out to dinner in New York City last night without her boyfriend, Austin Butler, but Page Six can exclusively confirm that there is no trouble in paradise.

In photos exclusively obtained by Page Six, the model was spotted at Ralph Lauren’s ritzy restaurant, The Polo Bar, in New York City at around 9 p.m. ET Tuesday evening. The 23-year-old was joined by Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth.

Although we’re told Butler was initially supposed to join the outing, the “Elvis” star got stuck at work.

“He has been filming long hours for Darren Aronofsky’s new movie” and couldn’t make it, an insider says.

Reps for Gerber and Butler did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

Butler, 33, has indeed been working hard on the upcoming crime thriller, “Caught Stealing.”

The movie star was photographed with white makeup and fake blood early Wednesday morning while shooting a scene with co-star Matt Smith, who looked nearly unrecognizable in a colorful mohawk.

Butler plays a former baseball player plunged into the seedy criminal underworld of New York in the 90s for Aronofsky’s upcoming flick.

Although Gerber had not been spotted out in public with Butler since his birthday in August, we’re told it doesn’t mean the famous duo doesn’t spend quality time together behind closed doors.

A source shares that when the pair — who have busy schedules due to their respective thriving careers — are in the same city, they would much rather spend their time together privately.

Gerber has indeed been spotted out on the town with pals lately, which has caused the rumor mill to chatter.

Last month, the blind item gossip account DeuxMoi posted that Cindy Crawford’s daughter had been spotted “all over” comedian Marcelo Hernandez while at the French restaurant The Odeon.

Photos circulating online showed Gerber dancing, having fun with the “Saturday Night Live” star, 27, and seemingly lifting his shirt while at a party with a group of people.

She was then spotted going to a musical show with Cole Bennett in New York City this week.

“Everything is fine with Kaia and Austin,” a source insists to Page Six. “She’s just out and about.”

Gerber and Butler first started dating around early 2022, two months after she called it quits with actor Jacob Elordi.

“Kaia thinks Austin is a sweetheart,” a source told Page Six at the time. “They’re having a lot of fun getting to know each other.”

Since then, the pair has hit up red carpets, including the Met Gala, and gone on vacation together.

Before Gerber, Butler dated Vanessa Hudgens for nearly nine years.
