Timothée Chalamet flashes smile after ‘dumping’ Kylie Jenner

Timothée Chalamet was spotted out alone in New York City, just days after reports confirmed he and Kylie Jenner had called it quits once again.

The 29-year-old actor appeared in upbeat spirits as he made his way through Manhattan for promotional duties tied to his upcoming film Marty Supreme. His calm, quietly confident demeanor topped off with a sly grin comes amid swirling headlines about the couple’s latest split.

Chalamet and Jenner, 28, first sparked romance rumors in April 2023 following a chance run-in at Paris Fashion Week. Their relationship, marked by months of on-off speculation, has long been a tabloid fixture. But last week, sources told the Daily Mail that things had officially hit a rough patch.

“Timothée broke up with Kylie,” an insider revealed, adding that the pair have split before. “She talked him into getting back together. She is crazy about him, so that could well happen again.”

For now, however, the Dune star appears focused on work, keeping the status of any possible reconciliation firmly under wraps.

Chalamet was dressed in a sleek black leather jacket and matching pants layered over a grey hoodie as he quietly navigated the city. The sighting coincides with his newly released Vogue cover story

which fans quickly interpreted as a subtle swipe at Jenner.

In the profile, the actor declined to comment on his relationship, saying only, “I don’t have anything to say.” He did, however, open up about entering a “new stage” of life and even mentioned that fatherhood could be “on the radar.”

Jenner also maintained a tight-lipped stance in her 2024 British Vogue interview, stressing, “Privacy is so important to me.” But insiders say the cosmetic mogul was blindsided by Chalamet’s reluctance to acknowledge their romance publicly. According to Radar, she believed they had reached a point where going public made sense and the brush-off hurt.

“Kylie was really upset by how casually Timothée dismissed the question,” a friend said. “She honestly believed they were past the point of hiding things.”

Sources claim their demanding schedules have added strain, with Jenner often being the one traveling and showing up for him. “She’s beginning to feel like she’s putting in all the effort,” an insider added.

Despite being “shocked and heartbroken,” Jenner is said to be putting on a brave face online, posting upbeat content for her fans.

Meanwhile, industry insiders insist Chalamet simply prefers to keep his private life out of the public eye a stark contrast to Jenner’s high-profile world. In more than two years together, he never appeared on The Kardashians, walked the Met Gala red carpet with her, or acknowledged their relationship on social media.

Relationship experts say the imbalance could be a red flag. Trauma counselor Audrey Hope noted, “Relationships get ugly when one party loves or wants more than the other.”
