New York nightlife watchers are buzzing after Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski were spotted together on Friday night (September 5).
According to a photo shared by Deux Moi, the 34-year-old actor and the 34-year-old model/actress were seated at the intimate Waverly Inn, sparking immediate speculation about a budding romance.
It’s not their first overlap. Just over a week earlier, the two were photographed in the same frame at the after-party for the NYC premiere of Austin’s latest film Caught Stealing. In that picture, Austin appears to lean toward Emily as she looks away—a fleeting moment that fans are now revisiting with fresh curiosity.
Rumors had recently linked Austin to Caught Stealing co-star Zoë Kravitz, but insiders stress they’re simply close friends and colleagues. Zoë herself has been making headlines after being spotted with Harry Styles in both Italy and New York City.
For Emily, the outing adds another layer to an already eventful dating history. Back in March 2023, she and Harry Styles set the internet ablaze after being seen kissing in public.
Neither Austin nor Emily has commented, but their quiet dinner in Manhattan has fans and tabloids alike wondering if a new power couple is taking shape.
