Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski were photographed sharing a private evening together in New York City on Friday, images obtained by TMZ showed, as Zoe Kravitz has separately been seen with singer Harry Styles during the same week.
Butler and Ratajkowski were photographed inside the West Village restaurant the Waverly Inn, seated in a booth and appearing to share cocktails. In the image published by TMZ, Butler is shown with an arm along the back of the booth behind Ratajkowski while the pair converse under the restaurant's dim lighting and murals.
The outing follows recent publicity appearances for the film Caught Stealing, during which some viewers noted an on-screen and off-screen rapport between Butler and Kravitz. While Butler and Kravitz had been photographed together during promotional events for the movie, Kravitz was also seen several times this week with Harry Styles.
On Thursday, Kravitz and Styles were photographed holding hands during a stroll in New York City, and the Daily Mail reported a source close to the pair described their interaction as developing into a romance. Neither Butler, Ratajkowski, Kravitz, Styles nor their representatives have publicly confirmed the nature of any of the relationships.
The Waverly Inn photograph was described in coverage as showing Butler and Ratajkowski settled in a booth and focused on one another. TMZ published the image and noted the setting and body language; the Daily Mail reported on the separate sightings involving Kravitz and Styles and cited a source characterizing their connection.
All four are public figures with overlapping professional and social circles in the entertainment industry. Butler and Kravitz have promoted Caught Stealing, while Styles continues to perform and make public appearances. Ratajkowski has been active in fashion and social media, and on-screen credits; news outlets covering the recent sightings have framed them within ordinary patterns of celebrity appearances and nightlife.
No official statements have been released to confirm romantic relationships among any of the individuals involved. Media coverage of celebrity interactions frequently relies on eyewitness photographs and anonymous sources; outlets that published the sightings attributed images and comments to TMZ and the Daily Mail.
