Lewis Pullman Reacts to Kaia Gerber Dating Rumors at THUNDERBOLTS* Premiere

Top Gun Star Plays Coy as Romance Speculation with Model-Actress Continues

Hollywood is buzzing with new romance rumors, and this time, it’s about rising star Lewis Pullman and supermodel-actress Kaia Gerber. The two have been the subject of speculation for months—and fans were hoping for confirmation at the recent THUNDERBOLTS* premiere.

While Pullman hit the red carpet to promote his latest Marvel Studios film, it wasn’t just his role in the superhero flick that grabbed attention. Reporters were eager to know: Is he dating Kaia Gerber?

Lewis Pullman’s Red Carpet Reaction: No Date Tonight

During the Los Angeles premiere of THUNDERBOLTS on April 28, Pullman was asked by Entertainment Tonight whether he had brought anyone special along for the event. His response?

“No, I don’t have a date tonight,” he said with a smile. “My family’s my date.”

While it may have seemed like a clear answer, the interviewer couldn’t help but press further. When they playfully referenced a "certain brunette" they expected to see with him—clearly alluding to Kaia Gerber—Pullman offered a vague, lighthearted reply:

“We’re all just lucky to be here on the carpet, hanging, looking forward to THUNDERBOLTS.”

So, no denial... but no confirmation either.

The Romance Rumors: A Cozy Dinner & Some PDA

The buzz around Lewis Pullman and Kaia Gerber began in January, when the two were spotted enjoying an intimate birthday dinner in Los Angeles.

Spotted at Salazar

The dinner took place at trendy restaurant Salazar, where the duo reportedly looked very close. According to E! News, Kaia was seen with her arm wrapped around Pullman and even rested her head on his shoulder.

To make things even more interesting, Pullman’s famous father, actor Bill Pullman, was also present—suggesting this wasn’t just a casual hangout.

A source told the publication:

“They arrived and left together. They looked very affectionate and comfortable with each other.”

Photos from the evening only added to the intrigue, showing Kaia and Lewis in what appeared to be a cozy, affectionate moment.

• They’ve been seen together on multiple occasions
• They’ve shown signs of closeness and affection
• Pullman’s family appears to be involved (at least socially)
• Pullman didn’t deny the romance—he just sidestepped it

Sometimes, actions speak louder than words.

Whether or not the couple confirms their relationship, fans will definitely be keeping a close eye on every appearance, interview, and Instagram post.

Until then, we’ll just have to read between the red carpet lines.
