Is Timothée Chalamet really dating Kylie Jenner? All about Hollywood's hottest actor
Timothée Chalamet, in a relationship with Kylie Jenner? Social media have seen this story circulate for a number of weeks. Even though neither of the two stars has publicly confirmed the romance, several events indeed suggest that the actor may be dating the youngest Kardashian.
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner crossed paths during Paris Fashion Week in February 2023, as they both attended the Jean-Paul Gaultier fashion show. However, their meeting may have taken place long before this event, thanks to the sister of Kylie, Kendall Jenner (photo), who is a friend of the actor.
Rumors of the new romance began to swell in April 2023, when TMZ revealed that Kylie's black Range Rover had been seen outside Chalamet's residence. The two stars were allegedly seen together a few hours before going to the Coachella festival.
Interviewed by Entertainment Tonight on April 17, a source "close" to Kylie Jenner confirmed the story: "They are letting things happen quietly for the moment."
"It's not serious, but Kylie likes to spend time with Timothée," the anonymous source says. "Kylie is enjoying hanging out with Timothée and seeing where it goes."
Apparently, the romance between the actor and the 25-year-old billionaire is not to everyone's taste. Fans of Timothée Chalamet do not want to believe it. "You out of your mind? She will ruin your career," they commented on the actor's Instagram. "You must be done with your career, considering you’re about to contract the Kardashian curse," another fan added.

Could this supposed romantic relationship be detrimental to the popularity of the actor? Timothée Chalamet has become a big star thanks to his angel face, his natural charm, his intelligence, his spontaneity, and his acting skills. He is currently one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood.
