At first, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner did precisely that. The 29-year-old actor has an intense, devoted fan base, a lot of whom had been sad to be taught of his hyperlink to the 27-year-old actuality TV star and wonder mogul. They referred to as it a PR relationship. They willed it to not be true.

However for greater than two years the pair had proved the haters unsuitable. Kylithée exceeded all expectations. In Could the couple made it clear how critical they had been about one another by lastly showing on the crimson carpet collectively.

Till we subsequent see the couple in public — or not — right here’s a recap of their relationship to this point, from super-secretive beginnings to turning into extra comfy being a pair within the limelight.

At this level, Kylie Jenner has been courting on-again-off-again boyfriend (and father of her kids) Travis Scott since 2017. Their last breakup got here on the finish of 2022, once they had been famous to have spent their holidays individually.

Travis Scott was decidedly much less supportive of the union, with the identical supply saying: “Travis isn’t thrilled about Kylie shifting on, however they’re nonetheless cordial and centered on co-parenting and being one of the best mother and father they are often.”

All was quiet and calm within the Kylithée family in July, till Travis Scott appeared to touch upon the connection on a observe from his new album Utopia.
