Kylie Jenner, 28, may be facing a difficult emotional moment following reports that she has split from her boyfriend, Wonka actor Timothée Chalamet, 29, after a relationship that lasted two and a half years and drew media attention from the very beginning.
The news of their split comes just days after Kris Jenner’s spectacular 70th birthday celebration, an unforgettable star-studded event. During the party, Kylie reportedly appeared “lonely,” while Timothée was notably absent, which only fueled rumors and speculation about recent tensions between the couple.
Their relationship had been relatively private since first being linked in April 2023. Although they made a few public appearances at high-profile events, they preferred to keep their personal life under wraps. However, sources close to the couple suggest that problems had begun to surface behind the scenes, slowly creating a divide between them.
A source, cited by The Mirror, said: “There’s trouble in paradise, but they haven’t completely parted ways. He’s filming a lot, and she feels like she has to chase him constantly. She’s putting in more effort than he is.” Another insider added: “This has happened before, but she convinced him to get back together. She’s crazy about him, and that could happen again.”
Kylie Jenner Feeling Hurt
Although Kylie and Timothée have occasionally shared public displays of affection, they have mostly kept their relationship private. In a 2024 British Vogue interview, Jenner declined to discuss her romance, and sources now suggest she is frustrated by Chalamet’s reluctance to openly talk about their relationship.
Friends of Kylie say she expected the relationship to be more public and was taken aback by how casually Timothée brushed off questions about them. “Kylie was genuinely upset that he dismissed the topic so lightly. She thought they were at a point where their relationship could be celebrated, not ignored,” a source told Radar Online.
Despite feeling hurt, Kylie is trying to maintain her public image on social media. “She’s angry, stunned, and heartbroken all at once, but as usual, she’s keeping up a happy front for her followers,” her friend added.
Other sources reveal that their busy schedules have added tension to the relationship. Kylie has been the one making the effort to call, visit, and maintain contact, while Chalamet rarely reciprocates. “She has been traveling to support him, but it’s not often returned,” said another industry insider, noting that this dynamic is typical of how Chalamet handles relationships.
Timothée’s Absence at Kris Jenner’s 70th Birthday
Timothée’s absence from Kris Jenner’s glamorous 007-themed birthday party seemed to only add fuel to the split rumors. While Kylie stunned in a backless white gown, Timothée was nowhere to be seen at the lavish Beverly Hills event.
She also hinted at a distance in the relationship in a Vogue interview, saying he doesn’t discuss his personal life because “there isn’t anything to say.”
Kris Jenner’s 70th Birthday Celebration
Despite the romantic tension Kylie is experiencing, Kris Jenner seemed to enjoy every moment of her milestone birthday. Hosted at Jeff Bezos’ Beverly Hills mansion, the soirée attracted a who’s who of Hollywood, including Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Paris Hilton, and Martha Stewart, with police called multiple times to manage the high-profile security.
Kris perfectly embraced the James Bond theme, turning heads in a stunning red gown while dancing the night away. She shared moments from the evening on Instagram, clinking glasses with Mariah Carey and celebrating with her six children: Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, Rob, Kylie, and Kendall.
The night also featured a surprise performance by Bruno Mars, adding extra sparkle to the already glamorous event.
Royals and Celebrities Join the Festivities
Even royal guests played along with the theme, with Meghan and Harry opting for classic black-tie attire, while Harry added a poppy in honor of Remembrance Day.
The Kardashian-Jenner clan has been in a celebratory mode recently, having just returned from Kendall Jenner’s 30th birthday festivities before diving into Kris’ milestone birthday bash.
