EXCLUSIVE: Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber are seen visiting Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner’s newborn son Elijah at couple’s Malibu beach house
Kaia Gerber looked as natural as can be when she held Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner’s newborn son during a recent visit to their Malibu beachfront home with Austin Butler.
The 21-year-old model and her actor boyfriend, 32, were spotted at the couple’s beach house last week to meet their new baby boy Elijah, who was born last month.
In photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, the couple can be seen joining parents Karlie, 31, and Joshua, 38, on their outdoor deck, where they took turns carrying and nurturing the adorable swaddled child.

But for most of the visit, it was Kaia, dressed in a navy sundress, who stepped in for Mom’s duty, rocking and loving the baby boy while they all hung out on the porch.
The four friends spent the afternoon chatting and enjoying each other’s company, with Karlie occasionally tending to her baby boy with Kaia, while Austin and Joshua sat next to each other.
At one point, they were seen greeting two visitors who arrived and joined the group outside.
Mum-of-two Karlie showed off her impressively thin figure six weeks postpartum, wearing jeans and a white tank top.
She was later seen taking little Elijah in her arms as the friends moved the gathering inside.
Kaia, who started dating Austin in 2021, has maintained a close friendship in recent years with fellow fashion model Kloss, who is ten years her senior.
The supermodel — who announced her second pregnancy by showing off her bump at the Met Gala earlier this year — gave birth on July 11.
Proud dad Joshua, 38, shared the first glimpse of the newborn on his Instagram last month, two days after his wife gave birth.

‘Welcome to the world. 7.11.23,” he captioned the photo of the little one, who appeared to be a boy judging by the baby blue hat.
And a few days later, Kloss also confirmed the arrival of their baby boy by sharing two black and white photos of the newborn while his older brother, Levi, held his tiny hand.
During an interview with Glamor Last June, shortly before Elijah’s arrival, she talked about motherhood and also about her postpartum journey after welcoming her first child.
The couple welcomed their first son, now two, in March 2021.
“I really struggled in the six months after my son adjusted to this new normal,” Kloss told the outlet.
“I really leaned on my community around me, of moms and friends who were in a similar chapter of life. The postpartum period was really overwhelming to go through,” she added.
The beauty then poured over parenthood and said, “Oh my God, it changed every part of my life, my identity.” It brought me much more…what’s the right way to put it?’
In the days leading up to the birth of her second baby, the star continued to share adorable baby bump updates. She also enjoyed a baby shower brunch with loved ones.

Later, the loving mother of two, Karlie, was seen holding little Elijah in her arms as the friends moved the gathering indoors.

In a June 27 Instagram photo, she was seen in a nursery with Levi, captioning the lovely photo “Life lately.”
She also shared a sweet photo of Joshua with their firstborn in commemoration of her husband’s birthday on June 12.
Karlie first showed off her long baby bump when she walked the red carpet with Joshua at the 2023 Met Gala in New York.
She also told it at the time E! News, ‘Baby’s first Met Gala. I mean, it’s hard to top this. I’ll be telling them about this for years to come.’
Karlie previously called parenting “the greatest joy I’ve never known” during a televised appearance Today show.
She recalled how she fell in love with her son “the moment he was placed in my arms.”

During an interview with Glamor last month in June, shortly before Elijah came into the world, Kloss opened up about motherhood and also about her postpartum journey after welcoming her first child.
“I just had a moment of, ‘Wow, every woman who has a child, every parent goes through this.’ It’s just the most profound experience I had no idea about before I had a child.”
She also revealed that becoming a mother changed her priorities.
‘Priorities change. Everything changed. I think the last few years have also changed us. First of all, I have used my time much more efficiently. I’m actually on time everywhere now.’
Karlie and Joshua — whose brother and sister-in-law are Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump — were first spotted spending time together at an after-party for the 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
They waited an entire year before appearing in public for the first time as a couple. The duo became Instagram official with their relationship in 2014.
