Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny are a couple, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have apparently entered the ~call me by your name boyfriend/girlfriend~ stage of their own ‘ship, and at this point, if the internet told me Kim Kardashian and Paul Mescal were an item, I’d just shrug. But before our collective existential crisis truly hits, let’s parse through what we actually know about Kylie and Timmy…because here’s an upsetting realization: They might have been together as far back as January 2023 without any of us noticing.
Note: This timeline is in reverse chronological order, so the freshest news is at the top. Scroll down if you want to go back, back to the beginning.
December 19, 2023
Timothée forgets he saw Beyoncé in concert (where he was seen making out with Kylie Jenner), and when reminded gets flustered and says “Yes yes yes. That was great. That was great. Hard to be present.”
December 11, 2023
A source tells Us Weekly that “things have become fairly serious over the past few months” and “Kylie knows they both have really busy schedules but make as much time for each other as possible.”
Meanwhile, an Entertainment Tonight insider muses that “Even though Kylie has so many of her own commitments, she is very proud of Timothée and wants to be there for him and support him. Timothée is equally supportive of Kylie and admires her strong work ethic and how committed she is as a mom.”
December 10, 2023
Kylie and Kris Jenner are spotted sneaking out of the Los Angeles Wonka premiere. Pics below!
December 4, 2023
A source dishes to People that Kylie is “incredibly happy” with the actor. Like, so much so that she’s apparently even put a label on their romance, calling him “her boyfriend.”
I’ll give you a sec to emotionally recover from this bombshell news before hitting you with a bit more lol.
The insider also adds that Timothée is “in awe of everything [Kylie] is accomplishing” and “especially thinks she is an amazing mom.” “He is very supportive of her career and she of his…They both try to attend important events for each other.”
Oh, and per the source, “He is very good for Kylie. Since dating him, she seems very content, relaxed and focused. Her family loves him.” Good! To! Know!

The youngest Jenner sister travels to London to support her rumored boyfriend at the premiere of his film Wonka.

In a new interview with GQ, Timmy (sort of) broke his silence on his ‘ship with Kylie. When asked about the shocking fan reactions to his first outing with The Kardashians star, Timothée revealed that he’s not really entitled to privacy as a public figure, saying, “I can’t say that this stuff doesn’t matter, because my intense fandom has led me to where I am.”
He went on to compare the concept of asking for privacy as a celeb to a recent episode of South Park, where animated versions of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle go on a “Worldwide Privacy Tour” by making appearances on talk shows and flying on their private jet. “This reminds me of that recent South Park episode with the Worldwide Privacy Tour… Sometimes, people are going to be hella confused when you say you’re trying to live a private life,” he explained.
September 25, 2023

Okay, sooo! Kylie and Timmy must be in the honeymoon stage because The Kardashians star had a super cute selfie of them on her lock screen á la middle school relationship. The proof, you ask? It’s in this pic captured by Elle Mexico:

They’re keeping things low key and chill for now, but get along great and have fun together.”

A “Jenner source” tells People that Kylie and Timmy “hang out every week” but insists that it’s still “not serious” and she’s simply getting to know him and having fun. The insider also says that “after years of back and forth with Travis, she just wants to date without any pressure.”
And speaking of Travis, an Us Weekly source is out here claiming Kylie’s not over him: “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.”
April 17, 2023
Entertainment Tonight confirms what we already know: Kylie and Timmy are dating. According to their source, the pair are “keeping things casual at this point” and are “not serious,” but!!!!! Kylie is “enjoying hanging out with Timothée and seeing where it goes. 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.”

A tipster writes into DeuxMoi spilling the beans on Kimothée (I’m trying it out, not sure yet, will get back to you): “Anon pls!! Multiple sources have told me that Timmy C has a new girl…Kylie Jenner.”
Another person then chimes in with, “I heard they are both going to be at Coachella,” and yet another person adds, “I can 100% confirm that.”
The vibe on Twitter is immediately just absolute panic. Simply put: No one knows where they are, who they are, or what they are.
Meanwhile, DeuxMoi herself confirms the reports are legit:
On top of alllll this, Us Weekly decides to sow a little extra chaos and drop an article all about how Kylie and Travis Scott are fully going to get back together…at least according to her friends.
“Kylie’s friends genuinely don’t believe that [she] and Travis are done for good,” the insider says. “They’ve always had an on-and-off relationship, so this is nothing new to them. They truly feel like the love is still there and that they’ll find their way back to each other again.”
“They’re always in constant communication and Travis is likely going to spend Easter with Kylie and the kids,” the source adds. “They have a great co-parenting relationship, but her friends feel like their bond goes way deeper than that. They definitely haven’t given up hope on them reconciling and feel like it’s just a matter of time.”

Anyone else read this and barely bat an eye? Same. Little did we know.
January 25, 2023
Kylie and Timmy both attend the Jean Paul Gaultier show in Paris. In fact, there’s footage of them meeting, but it appears to have been (mysteriously) scrubbed from Twitter despite being up when dating rumors broke, so this will have to suffice as proof:

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott end their on-again, off-again relationship in early January. (Meaning she’s fully single heading into 2023.)
A source at the time tells Us Weekly that “Kylie and Travis are off again. They were supposed to spend the holidays together, but she went to Aspen to be with her family and friends up there. This has happened so many times before; they’re known to be on again, off again but always remain friends and great co-parents.”
