Zoe Kravitz and Austin Butler spark quiet romance after high-profile breakups

According to insiders who spoke with The US Sun, the pair “have been spending time together over the past few weeks”, enjoying each other's company without rushing to define what’s happening.

“They get on very well and their chemistry is as good off-screen as it is on it. Austin and Zoe have been keeping it under the radar and aren’t putting a label on anything yet,” one source said. “They are both very respectful of their ex-partners and are just seeing how things go.”

The crime thriller 'Caught Stealing' is set to hit screens later this year. Austin and Zoe were spotted sharing a passionate kiss while filming a scene on the streets of New York back in October, just a month before wrapping up.

Zoe, 36, ended her engagement to 'Magic Mike' star Channing Tatum, 44, last October, right around the time she was filming with 33-year-old Austin.

Just three months later, Austin and model Kaia Gerber, 23, also called it quits after being together for three years.
