However, Karlie’s genuine nature and lack of interest in his wealth immediately impressed Adrian, and he expressed how fortunate he felt to have found someone so grounded and unaffected by his success.
Karlie Butler, who maintains a relatively private life, perfectly complements Adrian’s public persona.
As he has mentioned in interviews,
“She’s actually just a real private person. She’s very private, she doesn’t like attention. She’s not on socials, she never posts, she’s one of those girls who’s very low key.”
Karlie’s modest, low-profile presence is in stark contrast to Adrian’s high-profile business ventures and investments.
He has even praised Karlie’s practical attitude toward money, noting that she “won’t spend a frigging cent” despite having access to his credit cards, reflecting her lack of materialism.
The couple celebrated the arrival of their son Mercy with a beautiful baby shower, and Adrian showed his affection by gifting Karlie an Aston Martin as a “push present.”
Despite their deep commitment, Adrian and Karlie have not officially announced their marriage plans at this time.
Before his relationship with Karlie, Adrian was engaged to Anastasia Iliopoulos, but they ended their engagement in 2022.
Now, the family resides in Melbourne, where they enjoy a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle together.
