Amid rumors of a breakup, Kylie Jenner has taken a subtle step to shut down speculation about her relationship status with actor Timothée Chalamet. Her gesture has suggested that the pair remain very much together despite recent public silence and conflicting signals.
The Subtle Signal From Kylie Jenner, Which Said It All
On August 12, Chalamet shared the trailer for his upcoming film Marty Supreme on Instagram, and Jenner liked the post. That single click has been interpreted as a delicate but firm affirmation of the couple’s continuity amid widespread speculation of a breakup. While the gesture may have seemed small, fans viewed it as an indication that the romance is alive.
Why the Rumors Gained Traction
Questions about their relationship intensified after Chalamet’s absence from Jenner’s 28th birthday celebrations earlier this month. Adding further intrigue, she shared Instagram Story posts featuring melancholic breakup love songs, including Jeff Buckley’s Lover, You Should’ve Come Over, and Labi Siffre’s Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying. The cryptic posts triggered comparisons to her previous patterns during her split from Travis Scott.
Busy Schedules, Not a Broken Bond
A report by People has clarified that the duo is navigating a long-distance relationship amid their demanding schedules. Chalamet is filming Dune: Messiah in Budapest while Jenner balances motherhood and business commitments in Los Angeles. The report claimed that Jenner visited him in July, and the couple keeps the connection alive through frequent FaceTime calls. “They’re making it work,” one source told the publication.
A Relationship That Appeals to Both Privacy and Public Romance
Despite being a high-profile couple since 2023, Jenner and Chalamet have remained private about their romance—with occasional public appearances, such as their outing in St. Tropez, red carpet debut at the David Di Donatello Awards, and fans’ enduring interest in their love life. Jenner especially values privacy, as she’s shared in previous interviews.
Between the cryptic social posts and grueling professional commitments, it’s clear that the couple is choosing careful discretion over drama. And while fans may scrutinize every lyric, insiders suggest this is a case of “making it work” rather than ending it.
