Austin Butler isn’t blurring the lines when it comes to relationship rumors.
After his nights on the town with Emily Ratajkowski in New York City sparked dating speculation, the Elvis star is clearing the air on where they stand.
“The true answer is that I have a lot of friends,” the 34-year-old told Vanity Fair in an interview published Nov. 18. “And we’re friends and we had dinner, and that we’re friends.”
Austin and Emily, 34, sparked romance rumors in September when they were seen together at the Caught Stealing afterparty, following the film’s premiere, and again days later getting cozy in a booth at hotspot Waverly Inn.
That same month, the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star was seen dining with a mystery woman, who the internet suspected was TikToker Hailey Kalil—known as Haleyybaylee on the platform. And though she denied the rumors, she did playfully invite the chatter.
“It’s not me, but I wish it was,” the influencer, who was previously married to NFL star Matt Kalil, told TMZ on Sept. 4. “Austin, my DMs are open.”
