The buzz around Zoe Kravitz and Austin Butler’s rumored romance showed no signs of slowing down at the premiere of their new film, Caught Stealing.
On the red carpet, the duo shared flirty moments that had fans and photographers buzzing, with Austin placing a hand on Zoe’s bare waist while leaning in to chat.
Zoe responded with a playful smile and a friendly hand on his arm, her toned abs highlighted by a stunning ensemble.
Stunning Red Carpet Looks
Zoe wowed in a black long-sleeve crop top paired with a flowing skirt, her signature black hair cascading in loose waves.
Austin kept it sleek in a black leather suit, complete with matching trousers and sunglasses, looking effortlessly debonair as the cameras snapped away.
Romance Rumors Heat Up
The pair have been the subject of dating speculation for a while, and last week their chemistry was on full display at a Paris bar.
An insider told Daily Mail that the duo has undeniable spark.
“It’s not quite a fully fledged romance but Austin hasn’t been friend-zoned either,” the source said.
However, Zoe has also been spotted enjoying a romantic stroll with Harry Styles in Rome, linking arms in fan-captured video, adding layers to the swirling speculation.
Both Zoe and Austin are fresh out of high-profile relationships — with Channing Tatum and Kaia Gerber, respectively — and a source told The Sun in April that they’ve been “getting on very well.”
“Their chemistry is as good off-screen as it is on it,” the source said.
“Austin and Zoe have been keeping it under the radar and aren’t putting a label on anything yet.
They are both very respectful of their ex-partners and are just seeing how things go.”
High-Profile Careers Keep Them Busy
Caught Stealing stars Hollywood heavyweights alongside Zoe and Austin, including Liev Schreiber, Matt Smith, Vincent D’Onofrio, Regina King, and Bad Bunny.
According to Deadline, the film “follows Hank Thompson (Butler), a burned-out former baseball player, as he’s unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of ’90s New York City.”
For Austin, this role follows his major success in Dune: Part Two, the highest-grossing film of 2024 so far, earning $700 million worldwide since its March release.
He also received his first Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination last year for portraying Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s 2022 biopic, which cemented his A-list status after more than two decades in the industry.
Meanwhile, Zoe is balancing acting with her directorial debut, Blink Twice, released in late August.
Her acting credits include HBO’s Big Little Lies, Hulu’s High Fidelity, and The Batman (2022) alongside Robert Pattinson and Colin Farrell.
Caught Stealing Hits Theaters Soon
Fans don’t have long to wait — Caught Stealing is set to be released on August 29, giving audiences a chance to see Zoe and Austin’s on-screen chemistry in action.
With both stars at the peak of their careers and romance rumors swirling, the film’s premiere was the perfect backdrop for the pair’s latest headline-making moments.
