Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet's Very Public but Private Romance

"I don't know how I feel about that," Jenner told the New York Times in March when asked if she had thoughts on the Internet's assumption her love life was manifesting in some tweaks to her style. "I just don't want to talk about personal things."

As for Chalamet, while he knows every move he makes will garner interest—"I can’t say that this stuff doesn’t matter," he told GQ for its November 2023 cover story, "because my intense fandom has led me to where I am"—he wouldn't mind being left alone just a bit.

Though he acknowledged the irony of wanting to keep something to himself while dating someone with 395 million Instagram followers. (And he's hardly an unknown with 19.3 million.)

Referencing a South Park episode that parodied Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's concerns about privacy while simultaneously opening a door into their world via interviews, a docuseries and a best-selling memoir, Chalamet said, "Sometimes, people are going to be hella confused when you say you’re trying to live a private life."

Though Jenner's been on reality TV in one form or another since middle school, she has been known to take the occasional break from big reveals— such as when she waited until after daughter Stormi Webster (with ex Travis Scott) was born in 2018 to share scenes from her pregnancy journey.

But while Jenner—also mom to 2-year-old son Aire Webster—has yet to call Chalamet by the name of boyfriend (out loud while talking into a recording device, that is), she has acknowledged his presence in this world and on Arrakis.

Asked if she'd seen Dune, Chalamet's blockbuster 2021 sci-fi epic, she told the Wall Street Journal, "I do love that movie."

She reportedly smiled.

And that was before she attended a Wonka party in London last November and sat right next to Chalamet during the film's L.A. premiere, to which she brought mom Kris Jenner. The Kardashians matriarch, who was also at the A Complete Unknown party, had not-so-subtly shipped her youngest daughter's romance with the movie star by reposting one of the teasers for his November 2023 Saturday Night Live hosting gig on Instagram Stories. 

The familial support runs both ways, meanwhile, with Timothée's sister Pauline Chalamet in the audience for Jenner's walk down the runway for Coperni during Paris Fashion Week in October.

And consider excitement to be officially running high for a red carpet sighting at the Globes on Jan. 5.

The pair treated Globe viewers last January to a veritable PDA-fest, Jenner wearing a vintage Hanae Mori gown that seamlessly coordinated with Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy nominee Chalamet's black Celine suit. In fact, there were moments where you couldn't be sure where his couture ended and hers began.

And even if they never speak directly on the subject, pictures can be worth a thousand words. Press on and see Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's romance in photos:
