Austin Butler gave ex-girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens credit for inspiring him to pursue 'Elvis'. Here are the other famous women the actor has been linked to.

According to the Daily Mail, Butler and Hudgens were first introduced to one another on the set of the very first "High School Musical," in 2005, although Butler did not appear in the film or any of its sequels. He did, however, appear in the spinoff, "Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure."

Hudgens was dating her costar Zac Efron at that time, but sometime in 2010 they split and the following year she and Butler were first romantically linked.

They kept things pretty lowkey during their first few years together, with Butler not making an appearance on Hudgens' Instagram feed until August 2014 when "The Princess Switch" star shared a birthday tribute to the actor and referred to him as "the love of my life."

Appearing at the premiere of his 2019 film "The Dead Don't Die," just months before their reported split, Butler referred to Hudgens as his "rock."

More recently, the actor confirmed that Hudgens was the one to push him to pursue the role of Elvis Presley in the Baz Luhrmann-directed biopic for which he has now received an Oscar and BAFTA nomination, telling The Los Angeles Times: "I owe her a lot for believing in me."

In January 2020, Us Weekly reported that the pair had broken up after nine years together.

The former couple did not respond to Insider's request for comment at the time, but Butler did address the breakup when asked about it in a GQ interview last year. He said: "Life is full of changes, and you've got to find a way to constantly be evolving and growing."

DeJonge played Priscilla Presley in the critically acclaimed movie, so it's no surprise to hear that the two costars spent a lot of time together during their time in Australia shooting the movie in 2020.

In November 2020, the two were seen enjoying a day out at the beach together in photos obtained by MailOnline, sparking speculation that there was more than friendship between the two of them.

However, the nature of their relationship and when it possibly started and ended has never been addressed. Given that the two stars carried out the press tour and subsequent Oscar campaign for "Elvis" together, it seems like they are still on good terms.

Butler and French-American actor and model Lily-Rose Depp — the daughter of Johnny Depp — were together in 2021 for an unknown length of time.

The two were photographed embracing each other outside of a London restaurant on August 9, 2021, per MailOnline. They had previously met at an event hosted by The Hollywood Reporter at Sundance Film Festival five years prior in 2016.

However, the two were never spotted together again, and by the end of the year, Butler had entered into another relationship.

In December 2021, Butler and Kaia Gerber — who is the daughter of iconic supermodel Cindy Crawford and business mogul Rande Gerber — were spotted attending a yoga class and heading to Los Angeles airport together, sparking speculation that they were an item.

While the couple never confirmed the rumors, in March 2022 they attended W Magazine's annual pre-Oscars Best Performances party together. The Instagram account for the outlet shared a photo of them that showed Butler planting a kiss on Gerber's cheek and referred to the actor as Gerber's "boyfriend" in the caption.

Gerber was by Butler's side for his entire "Elvis" press tour and subsequent award ceremonies, including the premiere at the 75th annual Cannes Film Festival and the 2023 Golden Globe Awards, where picked up the award for best actor.

In a backstage video captured by journalist Alexandre Maras and posted to Instagram, the two can be seen embracing after Butler walked off stage following his win.
