Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are facing a delicate phase in their relationship, strained by distance, busy schedules, and constant speculation. Though still connected, Kylie seeks clarity about their future, even suggesting moving in together. Timothée remains caring but cautious. As whispers grow louder, the couple’s next chapter hinges on private, honest conversations.
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet seem to be going through a delicate phase in their relationship, and while neither has spoken publicly about it, those close to them say the mood has shifted. What began with the effortless buzz of red-carpet chemistry and surprise sightings, is now being quietly tested by time zones, work schedules, and the kind of speculation that comes with living under a microscope.
They’ve been together for over two years, but for most of that time, they’ve kept things out of the spotlight. It wasn’t until that Beyoncé concert in 2023 that the world got its first real look at them as a couple, laughing, affectionate and visibly smitten. A summer holiday in St. Tropez followed, all sunshine and soft launches. But that was before Chalamet flew to Hungary for months to shoot Dune: Part Three, and before the distance began to matter.
Friends say Kylie has been feeling increasingly unsettled in recent weeks, not because anything concrete has gone wrong, but because so much is unclear. The constant swirl of online chatter hasn’t helped. Stories have been floating around suggesting Timothée has been spending his off-hours socialising with the cast and crew, and while none of it is particularly scandalous, the noise has gotten to her. Not necessarily because she believes it, but because it keeps reminding her how little time they’ve had to just be normal together.
She’s not asking for a proposal, according to those familiar with the situation. That’s not the concern. What she wants is something far simpler: reassurance. Something to hold onto. A conversation about what the next six months might look like. What happens when he’s back in LA. Whether they’re still building something, or just orbiting each other when time allows.
Apparently, she’s even floated the idea of moving in together, as a way to close the distance. She’s reportedly said she’d be happy to sort the place, logistics and everything, if he’s on board. But that’s where things hang. Timothée, by all accounts, cares deeply for her, but he’s never been one to rush into anything. His independence isn’t just a personality trait, it’s part of what defines him.
Currently, they’re still in touch. Still talking and still trying. While neither side seems ready to walk away, the next chapter may depend less on what’s said online, and more on what they say to each other, when the cameras are off and the distance finally closes.
