Love is in the air for... *checks notes* Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. This surprising pairing recently became the internet's latest obsession when the Kylie Cosmetics founder and Oscar-nominated actor went public with their romance at a Beyonce concert.
The couple has kept a very low profile over the past few months since news broke of their reported love connection, but little details have continued to trickle in that create a pretty compelling case for Kylothée — including a potential diss from Jenner's ex, rapper Travis Scott.
This likely won't play out on a three-episode arc of The Kardashians, so here's everything we know about Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's relationship thus far.
Early April 2023: DeuxMoi reports Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are dating.
The dating rumours caught fire during the first week of April via the celebrity gossip Instagram account DeuxMoi, which was lit up with anonymous tips about the potential coupling, including aforementioned rumours that the two would be attending Coachella 2023 together. While people claimed they had seen them together or have insider knowledge, nothing has been acknowledged, confirmed, or denied by Jenner or Chalamet. (Representatives for Kylie and Timothée did not respond to Teen Vogue's request for comment.)
13 April 2023: Jenner's car is seen at Chalamet's home.
On April 13, TMZ shared photos of Jenner's car, a black Range Rover, parked in the driveway of Chalamet's Beverly Hills home. A day later, Page Six reported that Jenner and Chalamet were seen out on a “secret date" in L.A. at a popular taco spot. Timmy was allegedly picked up by Jenner's driver and taken to the restaurant, and the couple reportedly ate their tacos in the backseat of her SUV. Romantic!
This led many to believe that Jenner and Chalamet would hard launch their relationship at Coachella. However, while Jenner was in attendance with her besties Fai Khadra and sister Kendall Jenner, Chalamet was not.
"Kylie decided she didn’t want to make things public with Timothée this past weekend at Coachella," a source told ET, “and really just wanted to chill and have fun with her friends.” The source also seemed to suggest that Jenner and Chalamet met through mutual friends — one mutual friend in particular. "Timothée is also friends with Kendall," said the source, “so it’s been easy for Kylie to integrate him into her life.”
17 April 2023: A source confirms the pair are dating.
Shortly after Coachella's first weekend, Entertainment Tonight reported that Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet were actually dating, like, for real. A source confirmed the rumors to ET, revealing that the wild card couple is currently “keeping things casual” for now.
"It’s not serious, but Kylie is enjoying hanging out with Timothée and seeing where it goes," the source told ET. "It’s been really fun for her because it feels a lot different than her past relationships. It’s new and exciting for Kylie and she’s having a lot of fun."
The Kardashian-Jenner family does love an unexpected boyfriend, like Kendall's recent public — and romantic — outings with Bad Bunny, and Kim's whirlwind romance with Pete Davidson. (Kylie and her on-again, off-again partner Travis Scott split for the second time in early 2023, several months after the birth of their son Aire.)
Social media did not take the Jenner and Chalamet news well, though. Timothée is one of the Internet's favorite actors, a constant boyfriend-of-the-month, and rumours of his relationship with Kylie are… a shock, to say the least.

"Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet dating is even more random than Kendall and Benito?!?!?" tweeted one user. "My life is over," wrote another. "The streets are saying Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner are dating… The Jenners are collecting my men like Pokemons, signing OFF," mourned another. Others think this could be a song and dance planted by either star's team (cough, cough Kris Jenner) to distract the public. "I’m sorry but the Timothée and Kylie rumors have to be a cover up for something bigger," theorised one Twitter user.
28 July 2023: Jenner's ex Travis Scott appears to diss Chalamet in a song.
Jenner's ex Travis Scott released his long-awaited fourth studio album Utopia on July 28, and may have weighed in on her new relationship via the the seventh track “Meltdown" featuring Drake. Scott's song references Willy Wonka — the very character Chalamet will portray onscreen later this year: “Chocolate AP and chocolate the Vs (Vs), got the Willy Wonka factory (Vs) / Burn a athlete like it's calories, find another flame hot as me, b*tch.” It might not the most compelling diss of all time, but it certainly doesn't feel like a coincidence.
Jenner and Scott have had an on-again, off-again relationship for years; they have been co-parenting Stormi and Aire since their latest split in early 2023. “Kylie knows she and Travis will always be in each other’s lives, and they have an amazing coparenting relationship," a source previously shared of the former couple. “Part of her dating Timothée is in hopes of moving on from Travis, but that hasn’t happened yet. There’s always a possibility of reconciling with Travis at some point.”
2 August 2023: Rumours of a breakup are shut down by TMZ
On August 2, Life & Style reported that Chalamet “dumped" Jenner after seven months of dating. “She’s telling people that things between them naturally fizzled out because they’re both busy and traveling,” said the magazine's source, “Kylie is playing it casual, but her friends know this must sting.”
However, only a few hours later, TMZ published their own report that shut down those very Kylothée breakup rumors, calling the story one that “couldn't be further from the truth.” According to “multiple sources close to the couple,” Jenner and Chalamet are avoiding the public eye intentionally; their relationship is private, not over. One of TMZ's sources claimed “any reports that say otherwise are false,” while another advised the public “not to believe everything they read.” Well, then.
4 September 2023: Jenner and Chalamet are seen kissing at Beyoncé's Renaissance tour
Well, folks, it's official — Jenner and Chalamet are definitely a thing. The pair were spotted together at Beyoncé's 4 September birthday Renaissance show in Los Angeles, first chatting casually and then cuddling and kissing in the VIP section.
Yep, you read that right: cuddling and kissing.
In a video captured by a fellow concert attendee, the couple are seen dancing together, laughing, holding hands and kissing. Don't believe us? You can see the video of the pair for yourself here.
While we still don't have concrete proof that they're together-together (as in, a confirmation or denial from Jenner, Chalamet or their reps), these videos are certainly a compelling argument for Kylothée. Timmy on Kardashians when?
