Behold, dear readers, the unholy union of Kylie Jenner And Timothée Chalamet (otherwise known as Kymothée) has gone beyond public - beyond, as in, they have put on a PDA-filled display at the Golden Globes. Having made their first public appearance together at Beyoncé’s Renaissance world tour concert in Los Angeles in September, the pair have now captured on camera at the Golden Globes looking more loved up than ever. So, what do you need to know about Hollywood's new it couple? Here's the deets on Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's relationship...
How did Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet meet?
Kylie Jenner And Timothée Chalamet broke the internet in spring 2023 when rumours first began circulated that they were dating, courtesy of a blind item from celebrity gossip page Deux Moi. It wasn’t long before tips about their relationship began piling in, with one person confirming that they had been dating since meeting at Jean Paul Gaultier show during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week in January.
By April, TMZ had spotted Kylie’s car at Timothée’s Beverly Hills abode numerous times. According to Deux Moi, we would’ve been treated to a public outing from the pair that very same month, with sources claiming that they planned to Coachella together. However, no such public photo opportunity came, and we were instead fed the showbiz gossip crumbs that are more paparazzi car sightings and a very blurry video of Kylie and Kendall at a barbecue with Timothee and his sister, Pauline Chalamet, in June.
The family get together did of course give us some insight into just how serious this relationship was getting, with fans still refusing to accept the pair even existed in the same universe. To many, seeing the very craft-driven, indie-sleaze adoring actor that is Timothée with reality TV royalty and Instagram’s very own prom queen Kylie Jenner felt like a fever dream. It was unfathomable to imagine their conversations, so much so that some are still convinced the duo are a masterful PR stunt from marketing matriarch Kris Jenner.
Are Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet engaged?
It's safe to say stans on both sides have got themselves all worked up. When Kylie was pictured with her phone in her hand by the paparazzi at Milan Fashion Week last year, her background was in plain sight. And what was it exactly? None other than a zoomed in snapshot of Kylie and Timothée's faces.
Ever since, fans have been watching the couple's every move. So when Kylie was spotted getting out of a cab with Timothée at Paris Fashion Week – with a ring on her engagement finger (that turned out to be costume jewellery, don't panic) – people were quick to jump to the obvious conclusion.
There's no sign of wedding bells for K & T just yet, but let's be honest, stranger things have happened in the world of the rich and famous. What's clear is that they are enjoying each other's company (and possibly the attention), and is that such a crime?
Is Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet’s relationship a PR stunt?
But for those of you so taken by Timothée’s ability to master the deep, artistic love interest endearing to all around him, I implore you to remember he also played a pretty convincing Kylie Schieble in Lady Bird (a pretentious arse, ICYMI), and the hilariously idiotic frat bro Yule in Don’t Look Up - a role, we might add, fans were convinced he didn’t even have a script for.
Yes, the (real life) man can recite poetry by William Ernest Henley on command and often demonstrates wisdom beyond his years with deeply philosophical answers in interviews, but who’s to say that Kylie isn’t equally as insightful when the cameras are off? To presume they have nothing in common, or he is somehow in a different league to her because he’s smart and creative, feels layered with something slightly insidious, however unintentional. Kylie is smart enough to have built a billion-dollar business through masterful social media influencing, and she’s bound to have picked up many a life lesson having experience fame since childhood, just like Timmy. When it comes to their personality types, don’t we all remember Kylie loved the indie sleaze as a teen too? In fact, with her new acne studios collaboration, perhaps we’re seeing a return to the King Kylie era curtesy of Timothée!
Or maybe it is all part of the Kris Jenner puppeteering puzzle that will all make sense in six months’ time when their careers reach new heights. Either way, we’re kind of here for this new Gen Z power couple.
