Kaia Gerber Speaks Out Against 'Misogynistic' Labels and the Pressure of Public Romances

Supermodel Kaia Gerber is not just a pretty face – she's got brains, too. In a candid interview with Vogue, the 24-year-old daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber addressed the negative labels that have been attached to her due to her high-profile romances. "Being defined by who I date at such a young age is challenging," Gerber told the magazine. "I've been labeled in ways that are quite misogynistic: serial dater, slut, greedy." In the past, she's been linked to Austin Butler, Jacob Elordi, and Pete Davidson. But don't worry, Kaia's currently smitten with Lewis Pullman, son of famed actor Bill Pullman. Speaking about her relationship with Lewis, Kaia revealed that her mom's advice has helped her avoid past mistakes. "My mom is always like, ‘Just don’t make the same mistake twice.’ And I’m pretty good at not." Kaia and Lewis have managed to keep their romance under wraps for the most part, but a source exclusively told Us Weekly that they've been together since 2024. "They started dating in early December [2024]. They run in the same circle and have similar friend groups, and that’s how they were introduced." The insider added that Kaia was drawn to Lewis' low-key demeanor. "She likes that Lewis is a very low-key guy. They have a lot of chemistry and a very easygoing relationship. She’s really happy and feels like she can be herself." Throughout their private relationship, Kaia has found comfort in the healing power of their dynamic. In an October 2025 interview on the "Therapuss" podcast, she spoke about how dating a friend is preferable to dating someone just for sexual attraction or lust. "If you can date your friends, you should," she said. "Don’t just date someone because you're sexually attracted to them or in lust with them. You should sleep with those people, for sure, but you don’t need to make them your partners." It's refreshing to see a celebrity speaking out against the sexist labels that are often attached to women in the public eye. Kaia Gerber is a shining example of a strong, independent woman who knows her worth and isn't afraid to speak up about it. Here's to more empowering conversations like this one!
