Timothee Chalamet & Kylie Jenner — Publicity Stunt?

The famous Little Women and Call Me by Your Name actor, Timothee Chalamet, has made it evident that he believes the word “date” is intimidating. In a 2018 interview conducted by Harry Styles, Timothee Chalamet stated that he considers the “meaning of life” to “love deeply” and “love openly.” He expressed/said in the interview “that we’re all only here for so long. Live and let live. Love deeply. Love openly. And know that the wise man knows he’s ignorant but cultivates more understanding.” Now, the same man is rumored to be dating celebrity, socialite, and businesswoman Kylie Jenner. Compared to Chalamet, Jenner has been a celebrity for longer, and has lived a more publicly eventful life by already growing up in a well-known family, launching multiple businesses and brands, and then proceeding to have two children from ex-boyfriend Travis Scott. Through rumors spread by numerous people including the pseudonymous Instagram account which publishes celebrity gossip, DeuxMoi, Jenner and Chalamet are now supposedly dating, and the public doesn’t know how to react. 

Questions such as “are they really a pair?”, or “is it just for the publicity?” are constantly circulating through media. Let’s take a deeper look into what the relationship between the actor and socialite seems to be. 

With a closer glance at their relationship you may notice that despite Jenner’s notable love life and young children, Chalamet and her are both around the same age and could possibly have similar interests, or personalities that get along. We can acknowledge that Chalamet and Jenner are publicly perceived as two completely different types of celebrities whom nobody would expect to get together, but we also have to keep in mind that as mere fans, we fail to know their real personalities and therefore cannot always jump to conclusions. Headlines read, "Kylie Jenner Enjoys Being Courted by Timothee Chalamet", or "Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet Communicate Almost Every Day". As mentioned earlier, Chalamet did mention he wanted to “love openly,” and maybe instead of this whole relationship being a publicity stunt, in reality, it is just the actor’s way of expressing his adoration for his partner. 

Thus, we can make an educated guess that the two are on good terms and are possibly in an affectionate, loving relationship. Or, that it might just be a publicity stunt. We, as fans, will never know for sure, but something is going on between the two celebrities that'llit’ll keep us all invested throughout the relationship.
