When it comes to romance for the best in both Hollywood and the music industry, it turns out a lot of our favourite stars are kind of dating in circles.

It appears that the creme de la crème of hotties are all linked in a big old chain, centred around the likes of new couple Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz, Frankenstein star Jacob Elordi, and a bunch of other A-listers.

Austin Butler also seems to firmly be a part of this love web, having been rumoured to be with several of the people who recur on this list.

Currently, he’s believed to be in a romance with Emily Ratajkowski, though it has yet to be confirmed.

Here’s a breakdown of how the most beloved young A-listers are all connected by the heartstrings.

Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz

The couple began dating recently, with fans spotting the 31-year-old singer and the Caught Stealing actress, 36, looking cosy in Rome, London and Brooklyn.

While Harry and Zoë have not publicly spoken about their rumoured romance, a source claims she was ‘whisked off her feet’ by the One Direction singer.

‘Harry and Zoë were tucked away in a corner in Rita’s and were snogging like teenagers,’ a source told The Sun.

‘They seemed really into each other and didn’t seem to care if anyone saw them kissing.’

Harry Styles and Emily Ratajkowski

Harry has also previously dated Emily Ratajkowski, and the pair were snapped snogging in a clip that went viral.

The couple enjoyed a passionate smooch in the early hours on the streets of Tokyo, with Emily later admitting she had no idea they were being filmed or that their rendezvous would cause such a stir.

‘It’s very bizarre to have certain experiences and then have the whole world know about them and comment on them,’ she said, in reference to her kiss with Harry, to Spanish Vogue.

‘I’m just a person who’s gone from a three-year relationship to a four-year relationship, so this is the first time in a long time that I’ve been in a dating stage. 

‘The interest there is in that particular area is very strange. Not that I’m surprised, but it’s a tiny slice of my life.

‘Most of my life is focused on my son and my work. But I guess these issues don’t inspire the same flashy headlines.’

Emily and Pete Davidson

Emily, 34, also dated Pete Davidson, 31, for a couple of months in 2022. The pair were snapped spending time together at ball games and walking the streets of New York.

When asked about Pete while appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers in November 2021, Emily was asked about why women flock to him.

‘He’s a professional, first of all, you should know that about Pete,’ she said. ‘He’s got the height. Obviously, women find him very attractive.’

‘I feel like only other men feel [that he isn’t attractive]. Guys are like, “Wow. What’s that guy got?” And I’m like, I mean, he seems super charming.

‘He’s vulnerable. He’s lovely. His fingernail polish is awesome. He looks good!’

Pete Davidson and Kaia Gerber

Pete also had a short relationship with Kaia Gerber. The two started dating in October 2019, but it was also short-lived as they broke up in January 2020.

Speaking about their relationship, Pete blamed his addiction problems at the time.

‘She’s very young, and I’m f*****g going through a lot, and it was before I went to rehab,’ he said in February 2020. ‘It’s just like, she should be having fun. She shouldn’t have to worry about some dude that just has issues and s**t. She should be enjoying her work.’

‘It just wasn’t the right place or the right time at all,’ he said. ‘Her parents were really helpful and stuff, so they’re cool.’

Kaia dated Emily’s current beau, Austin Butler.

Emily Ratajkowski and Austin Butler

Emily is currently dating Austin, who has just worked with Zoe on Caught Stealing.

While rumours have been floating that Austin and Zoe are perhaps in the midst of a workplace romance, it seems Emily has his attention at the moment.

Emily and Austin have been snapped sipping on cocktails together while nestled in a booth at the West Village nightspot, the Waverly Inn.

TMZ snapped the pair looking rather cosy, with Austin slinging his arm across the back of Emily’s shoulders while in the hotspot.

*PREMIUM-EXCLUSIVE* New York, NY **USA AND CANADA CLIENTS MUST CALL FOR RIGHTS** Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski are leaning into rumors they might be an item ... because they were snapped hanging out and having drinks in New York City Friday night. TMZ obtained a photo of the famous actor and the sexy model seated in a booth at the Waverly Inn in the West Village -- and the two look pretty cozy with their cocktails in front of them. We're told Emily sipped a martini while Austin drank an old-fashioned, but they skipped grabbing a bite at the restaurant, according to our sources. We're told the pair didn't show much PDA as they chit-chatted for two hours. But, our sources tell us at times Emily leaned in to Austin, and Austin had his arm around Emily's shoulder at one point. You may recall, the pair were spotted at an after-party for the NYC premiere of "Caught Stealing" -- and they were even photographed together. (Check out slide 6) There's also been speculation Austin and his "Caught Stealing" costar Zo?? Kravitz were seeing each other ... but we confirmed they're just pals. Most recently, Austin was linked with Kaia Gerber, but they split at the end of 2024 after 3 years together. As for Emily, she was married to producer Sebastian Bear-McClard from 2018 to September 2022. Since then, she's been linked to a few guys, including Pete Davidson, but that didn't work out. Pete is currently with Elsie Hewitt and expecting their first child. **MANDATORY CREDIT: TMZ/BACKGRID** Pictured: Austin Butler, Emily Ratajkowski BACKGRID USA 6 SEPTEMBER 2025 BYLINE MUST READ: TMZ / BACKGRID **USA and Canada Clients Must Call for Rights** USA: +1 310 798 9111 / usasales@backgrid.com UK: +44 208 344 2007 / uksales@backgrid.com *UK Clients - Pictures Containing Children Please Pixelate Face Prior To Publication*

The couple attended the Met Gala, Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globes, and the Oscars after-party together during their relationship.

Jacob Elordi and Kaia Gerber

Jacob and Kaia dated for a year between September 2020 and November 2021.

The couple was snapped together several times during their relationship during Covid, with Kaia speaking about her feelings for him in an interview with Vogue.

‘Being able to be with someone I trust, where we don’t want anything from each other, having a safe, steady relationship like that, has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of love and what it feels like to love without conditions,’ she told Vogue in May 2021.

‘Lust is touching other people or wanting them, but love is really seeing someone.’
