Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's relationship is increasingly intense. However, it is deliberate that they are maintaining their connection away from public scrutiny.
“Kylie and Timothée are still going strong, but they are keeping their romance on the down low. There’s a reason they’re hiding it," an unnamed source told In Touch Weekly.
An source reports that Timothée, 28, a prominent leading player in Hollywood, “has numerous significant films in development” and “wishes to prevent his relationship with Kylie, who attracts media attention merely by appearing in public, from overshadowing his career.”
The 27-year-old "Kardashians" star is "content with the arrangement," but her renowned family does not share the same sentiment.
“Her sister Kim [Kardashian] and her mom Kris [Jenner], think she’s wasting a great opportunity and should basically exploit the romance,” the source explained. “Clearly, Kylie isn’t taking their advice. She loves Timothee and wants this relationship to work.”
Speculation of the romantic involvement of the Kylie Cosmetics creator and the "Dune" actor emerged in April 2023, following the gossip account Deux Moi's dissemination of text message screenshots asserting their relationship after their encounter at Paris Fashion Week three months prior, as per Teen Vogue.
The celebrities subsequently affirmed their relationship months later when they were observed displaying public affection at a Beyoncé concert and the U.S. Open event in September 2023.
The couple has made infrequent public appearances, the latest occurring on October 12 in New York City. Kylie and Timothée were informally attired while dining at Little Charli's pizza establishment in the West Village of New York City, ELLE reported.
In August, sources exclusively informed In Touch Weekly that the 43-year-old Skims creator was incensed that Kris, 68, permitted Kylie to maintain her romantic relationship with the "Wonka" actor in secrecy, unlike Kim, who has exposed her whole life to the public, including the sex tape that propelled the Kardashian family into reality television prominence.
An insider elucidated on August 30 that they have endeavored to set aside their differences, yet issues persist. Kim harbors significant resentment towards Kylie for successfully maintaining her personal life’s privacy while securing their mother’s favor. Kylie adheres to a distinct set of rules, which Kim perceives as unjust.
Kylie became the first in the family to appear on the prestigious British Vogue cover for the September issue, exacerbating the situation.
The source reported that Kim is displeased that Kylie received the cover despite never having done so herself. She exhibits considerable jealousy.
Kim believes that the mother of two does not acknowledge the sacrifices she has made for their family. An insider remarked that Kylie has a significant sense of entitlement. Kim is exasperated that Kylie fails to recognize her role in facilitating her opportunities.
Age has been a crucial element in their persistent conflict, with the source indicating that Kylie was "preoccupied with age" as the family's youngest member. She disparages her older sisters and openly asserts that Kim should behave by age. The source remarked, "It is exceedingly impolite."
