Timothee Chalamet has been on the minds of Internet users amid the release of his new movie, “Marty Supreme,” which follows protagonist, Marty Mauser, through his excessive hard work to become an unbeatable table tennis player. The movie embodies the good and bad traits of the American dream through an unlikely subject: Ping Pong. However, the movie has created a new “persona” for Timothee Chalamet, contrasting his typical emotion-filled, whimsical characters. His well-known curly locks were a signature of his well-loved “Elio” era (Call me by Your Name, 2017) or “Laurie” era (Little Women, 2019). Now, as he shaved his head for his new “Marty” era, he has become a focus in the media.
Beyond his recent roles, fans have begun questioning the strength of his 3-year relationship with American media personality and businesswoman, Kylie Jenner, of “Keeping up with the Kardashians” fame. Chalamet and Jenner have kept their relationship relatively private since its rumored beginning in 2023. Fans have always analyzed their rare public interactions, forming opinions and speculations on their relationship.
Rumors have surfaced in recent months about a potential split, especially after Chalamet was not present at Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party in November. However, this theory has been debunked, considering the two have since attended several events together.
Additional rumors about an alleged cheating scandal arose when Chalamet was seen in the lobby of a hotel with actress Anamaria Vartolomei. Jenner quickly showed support for her significant other, subtly calming the chaos on the internet. However, drama-hungry fans, who are rooting for a split between the two, continue searching for hints of a breakup. Instead, they only find headlines about a potential proposal, and the couple’s matching orange outfits at the “Marty Supreme” premier.
In two of his recent speeches, Chalamet spoke of Jenner as his “partner.” Furthermore, he has confirmed that he sees himself marrying in the future. Now, fans question how soon this future could be. Many believe the couple will become engaged in 2026, given that they practically live together already–though, it’s unclear whether the couple have moved in together, or simply spend much time at each others’ homes.
Whether they live together or not, a proposal between the two would be a significant event for Hollywood. Chalamet’s fame stems from being an A-list actor, while Jenner’s fame takes an influencer/beauty industry angle. A combination of these backgrounds stands to shift media standards, typically defining people by their past. Timothee and Kylie’s love is a representation of the union of people, despite the differences in their lives.
Whether a person admires the relationship, or wishes Timothee Chalamet would remain a “beloved figure of yearning,” the strong relationship between Chalamet and Jenner is real and current. It appears Chalamet has found real love, despite all the romantic rejection his characters have faced.
