Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet’s relationship appears to be under growing pressure as insiders report an increasing distance between the couple. The beauty mogul and the Oscar-nominated actor, whose romance became public in 2023, are reportedly struggling to maintain their connection due to conflicting schedules and contrasting lifestyles.
Sources close to the pair say Jenner, 28, has been the one keeping their relationship afloat while managing her demanding professional life and family responsibilities. “They’ve been on completely different schedules for months, and it’s really strained things,” one insider told RadarOnline. “Kylie’s been the one reaching out, calling, visiting — but she’s beginning to feel like she’s putting in all the effort.”
The couple first met during Paris Fashion Week in January 2023 and subtly confirmed their romance later that year when they were seen sharing a kiss at Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour. However, recent reports suggest that their once high-profile relationship is cooling off.
Tension reportedly began over the summer when Chalamet spent several months in Hungary filming the third instalment of Dune. During that time, Jenner remained in Los Angeles with her two children, Stormi and Aire, whom she shares with her ex-partner, rapper Travis Scott. The physical separation, combined with their demanding careers, has reportedly created emotional distance.
Insiders say Jenner has gone to great lengths to make time for Chalamet despite her busy schedule as the founder of Kylie Cosmetics and her responsibilities as a mother. However, Chalamet’s long filming commitments and preference for privacy have made it difficult for him to reciprocate the same level of effort.
Another source said the entrepreneur has “always been the one showing up” for Chalamet. “She’s traveled everywhere to support Timothée, but he rarely returns the favor,” the insider added. “It’s starting to really bother her.”
Those close to Chalamet, however, insist that his reserved nature should not be mistaken for indifference. A film industry insider told Reality Tea that “Timothée has always been extremely private and guarded about his personal dealings. He’s never been the kind of person to make his relationships part of the spotlight.”
The growing tension has fueled speculation that the couple may have ended their relationship after more than two years together. Rumours intensified when Chalamet was absent from Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday celebration in Beverly Hills. The event, hosted by Jeff Bezos, featured a star-studded guest list that included Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, Mark Zuckerberg, Martha Stewart, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle.
The Kardashian-Jenner family, who had recently celebrated Kendall Jenner’s 30th birthday, gathered for the James Bond-themed bash where the family matriarch dazzled in a red gown. Kris expressed her gratitude in an Instagram post, writing, “I am beyond blessed and so very grateful for my precious family and friends.”
Kylie Jenner attended the celebration in a white gown and was seen enjoying the night, but appeared to be facing personal challenges related to her relationship. Chalamet’s absence, reportedly due to filming commitments, further fueled public speculation about a possible split.
According to Daily Mail, a source claimed that this is not the first time the couple has faced a rough patch. “This has happened before – but she talked him into getting back together. She is crazy about him so that could well happen again,” the source said. Another insider added, “There is trouble in paradise, but they aren’t completely over. He is filming quite a bit, and she feels that she has to chase him. She is putting in the work more than him.”
Rumours of a breakup began circulating after images from Kris Jenner’s birthday event showed Kylie attending alone. Since their relationship began in April 2023, Jenner and Chalamet have kept a relatively low profile, appearing together only at a few public events.
Despite ongoing speculation about the state of their relationship, Kylie remains active in her family and professional circles. She continues to attend family gatherings and major industry events while maintaining her influence in the fashion and beauty worlds.
As of now, neither Jenner nor Chalamet has publicly addressed the reports surrounding their relationship. However, sources close to both suggest that while there may be distance between them, the relationship is not officially over.
