Rumors Spark Over Viral Video
Speculation surrounding Hollywood actor Austin Butler and TikTok personality Haleyybaylee (real name Haley Kalil) lit up social media this week after a viral clip suggested the two might have been spotted together. The video, shared widely on TikTok and Instagram, appeared to show Butler enjoying a quiet meal with a woman whose resemblance to Haleyybaylee caught fans’ attention.
The timing of the sighting immediately fueled chatter online, with some users convinced that the rising TikTok influencer had started dating the Elvis star. But despite the frenzy, the truth behind the clip is far less dramatic.
Haleyybaylee Clears the Air
TMZ reports that a representative for Haleyybaylee was quick to dismiss the speculation. According to the rep, the woman in the viral footage was not Haley. One obvious clue: Haley has distinct red hair, while the woman seated with Butler in the video is clearly brunette.
Austin Butler’s Name Keeps Popping Up in Romance Buzz
This is not the first time in recent months that Butler has been swept into relationship speculation. Just over a month ago, he was linked to his Caught Stealing costar Zoë Kravitz after the two were seen together in New York City. Fans were quick to assume sparks were flying, but sources close to the pair later clarified they were simply hanging out with mutual friends.
Despite the public excitement, insiders insisted that there was “nothing romantic” happening between Butler and Kravitz. Interestingly, Zoë has since been rumored to be casually dating Harry Styles, further debunking any Butler connection.
A Look at Austin Butler’s Relationship Timeline
The Elvis star has been relatively private about his personal life, but his past relationships have often caught public interest. Butler’s most notable romance in recent years was with model Kaia Gerber. The couple began dating in 2021 and made several public appearances together, quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s favorite young pairs.
However, the relationship came to an end in late 2024. Since then, Butler has not been publicly linked to anyone, leaving fans curious about his current dating status.
As of now, despite the swirling headlines, Butler seems to be enjoying his single life.
Who Is Haleyybaylee?
For those unfamiliar, Haleyybaylee has built a massive following online thanks to her TikTok presence. Known for her comedic skits, lifestyle content, and eye-catching fashion moments, she has quickly become one of the platform’s standout personalities.
But Haley’s story extends beyond TikTok fame. She previously worked as a model and was married to former NFL player Matt Kalil. The two tied the knot in 2015, but Haley filed for divorce in 2022 after seven years of marriage. Since then, she has focused on building her brand and online career, amassing millions of followers across her platforms.
Her sharp humor and relatability have made her a fan favorite, which explains why so many were quick to imagine a possible connection between her and Butler.
Social Media Reacts
As news of Haley’s denial spread, fans quickly turned the moment into a lighthearted meme. Many praised her for addressing the situation with humor instead of frustration. On TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), comments ranged from “She handled that like a queen” to “Honestly, same, Haley.”
The viral clip continues to circulate online, but now most of the conversation revolves around Haley’s witty response rather than the original dating theory.
What’s Next for Butler and Haley?
For now, Butler appears focused on his professional projects. With multiple films in the pipeline following his acclaimed performance in Elvis, he remains one of Hollywood’s most in-demand stars.
Haleyybaylee, meanwhile, continues to grow her digital empire, with brand partnerships, viral content, and a loyal fanbase keeping her firmly in the spotlight.
While the rumors of romance between the two have been put to rest, Haley’s candid admission — “I wish it was me” — left fans amused and perhaps even rooting for a future connection.
Conclusion
In the world of celebrity gossip, it doesn’t take much for speculation to run wild. A single video was enough to ignite rumors of a budding romance between Austin Butler and Haleyybaylee. But thanks to quick clarifications from Haley’s camp, it’s clear that the mystery brunette in the footage wasn’t the TikTok star.
For now, Butler remains unattached in the public eye, while Haley continues to enjoy her growing influence online. Whether or not their paths ever cross romantically, both stars are thriving in their respective worlds.
