When Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet first connected in 2023, many people believed that it was a publicity stunt. Two years later, the couple is still going strong, but there are still split rumors about them. A relationship expert shared why people aren’t sure about the relationship, even though sources say the couple is in a good place

A relationship expert shared why people aren’t sure about Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet

While Jenner and Chalamet have been together for several years, people still seem unsure about the relationship. A viral Reddit thread recently asked, “How much longer do you guys think Kyothée will last?” A relationship expert noted that most people didn’t think the couple were headed towards a split any time soon. Still, they expect that the couple is headed toward a fork in the road.

“This isn’t a breakup narrative,” said a spokesperson at British Lie Detector Test UK. “The majority of comments assume longevity. What people can’t tolerate is uncertainty — so they collapse a normal, ongoing relationship into two extremes: marriage or failure.”

The relationship expert noted that because the couple is lowkey, people aren’t sure what to make of them.

“We’re used to constant reassurance — posts, declarations, milestones,” the expert said. “When a couple opts out of that, the internet fills the gap with theories. Privacy now reads as suspicion.”

They noted that consistency, aligned values, the ability to manage pressure, and conflict resolution are the keys to a solid relationship. None of these come through in red carpet appearances .

“None of those things are visible in paparazzi shots,” the expert said. “So the internet substitutes certainty with speculation.”

Because Chalamet and Jenner don’t talk about their romance, people sometimes assume something is wrong or disingenuous. 

When did Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet start dating?

Chalamet and Jenner were first seen interacting at Paris Fashion Week in early 2023. Several months later, a source said they were spending a great deal of time together.

“She is getting to know him,” a source told People. “Kylie is having fun. After years of back and forth with Travis [Scott], she just wants to date without any pressure.”

The source also noted that Jenner’s family wholeheartedly supported her new relationship.

They are reportedly in a good place

Nearly three years after they were first linked, Jenner and Chalamet are still going strong.

“They’re great,” a source told People. They added that the couple makes “an effort to see each other every few weeks. He has a few days off for the holidays so they’re making plans.”
