Expert Explains the Real Challenge Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet Face as a Hollywood Couple
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner have been together for years. Despite their levels of fame, they kept their relationship relatively private in its earlier stages. Recently, however, they’ve been seen publicly more frequently throughout awards season. Chalamet also shouted out Jenner while accepting awards. A relationship expert shared how the increased exposure, particularly amid recent backlash to Chalamet, could impact their relationship.
An expert shared one major challenge Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet might face
Just ahead of the Oscars, Chalamet faced backlash for comments about the ballet and opera. The outcry against him was so significant that some people began to wonder if it could impact his chances of winning an Oscar. He ultimately lost to Michael B. Jordan. Relationship expert Kara Francis noted that this kind of public scrutiny can be difficult on a relationship.
“Regardless of celebrity status and public opinion, whenever a couple faces a challenge in life, it can either drive a wedge between them or bring them closer together,” she told The Mirror. “It all comes back to each person’s ability to be vulnerable and communicate with the other, versus shutting down or withdrawing. If Timothée and Kylie are able to lean on and support each other during these situations rather than shut each other out, then this could definitely bring them closer together.”
Jenner was a frequent presence at awards shows.
“It can definitely be tough when you put yourselves out there publicly as a couple for a big stakes moment, and then it doesn’t turn out the way you hoped it would,” Francis said.
She noted that the couple might consider taking a step back from the public eye. The way they handle this situation could shape their future.
“In situations like this, some celebrities are unfazed and continue forward as they have before, while others want to take a step back and protect their privacy while they reflect on everything. Regardless of how they proceed publicly, what truly matters is the quality of their private relationship behind closed doors.”
How long have Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner been together?
Jenner and Chalamet have been linked since mid-2023. They confirmed rumors of a romance when they kissed at Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour. After that, they stepped out together at many events, but neither commented on their relationship.
When Chalamet won awards for his role in Marty Supreme, he shouted out Jenner in his speeches. This was one of the first times he discussed his close to three-year relationship.
They are reportedly considering marriage
While Jenner and Chalamet haven’t spoken at length about their romance, sources say they’re in a good place.
“Their relationship is very strong and they have a good rhythm going,” a source told Us Weekly.
They have reportedly been discussing marriage, though they don’t want to rush into anything.
“They’re not rushing into marriage, but they’re totally aligned and have even talked about getting engaged this year.”
Jenner reportedly wants another child with Chalamet, which could happen before marriage.
“Kylie really wants another baby and has been open about the fact that she doesn’t feel like she needs to be married to do that, and they’re both on the same page about wanting a kid together,” the source said. “Timothée never thought about starting a family until he met Kylie.”
She already shares two children with Travis Scott.
