Kaia Gerber has made a cryptic dig at an ex as she was spotted reading a book called ‘Dear D***head’, weeks after looking loved-up with Austin Butler.

The Bottoms actress, 22, has been dating the Elvis star, 33, since late 2021 – but a recent post from the daughter of Cindy Crawford has raised eyebrows. 

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Kaia shared a snap of herself basking on a sun lounger displaying her washboard abs a tiny black triangle bikini. 

But in the snap, Kaia was reading a novel entitled ‘Dear D***head’ – with the star captioning it: ‘A book for someone I used to know.’

In a second picture, Kaia highlighted a paragraph of the book which read: ‘At this point, your sheer dumbf***ery commands a certain respect.

‘But it doesn’t change the basics: I don’t give a sh** about you. All my love to your sister, she was a wonderful friend.’

Friends and co-stars of Kaia turned out to support her on the post, suggesting they knew who she was talking about. 

The O.C.’s Rachel Bilson shared a laughing face and fire emojis, while Kaia’s Bottoms co-star Rachel Sennot wrote: ‘Period…’

MailOnline has approached Kaia’s representatives for comment.  

The cryptic post comes less than two weeks after she and Austin were seen strolling hand-in-hand after enjoying dinner with friends in New York City.   

Austin and Kaia had been in the Big Apple celebrating his 33rd birthday and were spotted dining with pals FKA Twigs and Julia Fox. 

The pair first sparked romance rumours in December 2021 before going public with their relationship in March 2022.

‘Kaia and Austin are going strong,’ an insider told People in May after the duo was spotted in NYC.

Just last month, the American Horror Story actress supported her boyfriend at the red carpet premiere of his new movie The Bikeriders.

The couple shared a sneaky smooch on the red carpet, as seen in a video shared by Entertainment Tonight. 

Kaia – who is the daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber – has seen her acting career really take off as of late.
