Kaia Gerber was seen smiling again as she stepped out for an errand run on Monday in Los Angeles – two weeks after it was announced she had split from Austin Butler.
The model, 23 – who was spotted for the first time last week since the pair’s shock breakup – purchased two matcha drinks from the cafe, Community Goods, before heading to her next destination.
Her solo excursion comes not long after sources revealed to TMZ earlier this month that she and the Elvis actor, 33, had separated after three years of dating.
The beauty – who is the daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber – kept it casual wearing a pair of denim jeans and a light gray sweatshirt.
Kaia additionally slipped into a pair of comfy, tan-colored shoes and carried a black purse over her left shoulder to hold items she needed during the weekday outing.
Her brunette locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves.

Gerber opted for minimal accessories and sported a pair of stylish shades to protect her eyes from the bright sunshine.
On January 7, insiders informed TMZ that the Palm Royale actress and Butler had split following three years together.
Speculation that the pair’s relationship had been rocky occurred when Kaia recently whisked herself away to Mexico with her family over the New Year’s holiday – but Austin was nowhere to be seen.
The sources expressed that the two stars had called it quits at the end of the 2024, but emphasized the breakup was amicable.
Last week, a separate insider told DailyMail.com that Kaia’s parents had been a catalyst in the pair’s split.
Back in October of last year, both Cindy and Rande sat down with Austin for a serious talk over the relationship’s lack of progress.
‘What really sealed the deal about the break up is the talk Kaia’s parents had with Austin about his relationship with their daughter.’
‘He didn’t appreciate the fact they butted into their relationship. It rubbed Austin up the wrong way,’ the source added.

Another insider told DailyMail.com that Kaia’s parents feel ‘terrible’ that the sit down could have possibly pushed the end of the relationship.
‘Kaia’s putting on a brave face in public over the break up but the truth is she’s upset,’ the source stated.
‘She’s partly blaming her parents for the talk they had with Austin telling him he could be wasting the best years of Kaia’s life because he wasn’t making a solid commitment. Kaia’s told her parents they had no right to come between them.’
The Bottoms actress and the former Disney channel star were first romantically linked in December 2021.
The two stars went red carpet official the following year as they arrived to the 2022 MET Gala in NYC together.
Gerber and Butler made appearances as a couple at other events during the course of their relationship, including the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and the TIME100 Gala in 2023.
The former couple were last pictured together as they enjoyed a casual date night in NYC a few months earlier on October 5.
Kaia and Austin mainly kept their romance private and the model briefly opened up about her then-boyfriend last year in February while talking to WSJ Magazine.
‘She’s partly blaming her parents for the talk they had with Austin telling him he could be wasting the best years of Kaia’s life because he wasn’t making a solid commitment. Kaia’s told her parents they had no right to come between them,’ the source said; seen in 2023 in NYC
‘Honestly, I feel like so few things in my life are private, and that is one of the things that I try to keep as sacred as possible,’ Gerber expressed to the outlet.
And back in 2022, Austin had also chosen to keep the details of their romance private during an interview with GQ.
At the time, he stated, ‘I don’t think there’s anything I want to share about that. But thank you for providing the space.’
However, Butler later shared a brief comment on Kaia’s cover for British Vogue for its February 2024 issue.
While chatting with Entertainment Tonight, he gushed, ‘It was legendary. It was amazing. I loved getting to see that. What an exciting cover. I loved it.’
Before dating Austin, Gerber was in a relationship with Euphoria star Jacob Elordi from 2020 until their split one year later.
