Love is in the air for... *checks notes* Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet? (???) This surprising pairing became the Internet's latest obsession when rumors that the Kylie Cosmetics founder and Oscar-nominated actor were dating took over social media.

The alleged couple has kept a very low profile over the past few months since news first broke of their reported love connection, but little details and many a documented PDA session have continued to trickle in that create a pretty compelling case for Kylothée — including a potential diss from Jenner's ex, rapper Travis Scott. This likely won't play out on a three-episode arc of The Kardashians, so here's everything we know about Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's reported relationship thus far.

August 2024: Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet jet off to the Bahamas for her 27th birthday

After a long time with no new sightings, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet were photographed together getting off a private jet after reportedly celebrating Jenner's 27th birthday in the Bahamas. Both Jenner and Chalamet were captured deboarding the plane in casual and comfy 'fits featuring zip-up hoodies and joggers. The couple went for full incognito mode by donning face masks, but they still managed to catch everyone’s attention. (You can see the photos here.)

Kylie Jenner celebrated her 27th birthday on August 10. The star took to Instagram on August 11 to share pictures from her birthday bash — albeit without Chalamet making an appearance. “27 (basically 30) ?? filled with love and so grateful. thank you God,” Jenner captioned her post, which included three Polaroid-style snaps of herself holding her birthday cake, one of which featured a cameo from momager Kris Jenner. On August 12, Jenner posted another photo dump from her birthday celebrations, this time showing a yacht and a tropical setting. “best birthday ever ??” Jenner captioned the post.

July 2024: Kylie Jenner is reportedly “fighting back” Kris Jenner's requests to have Timothée Chalamet be more public with their relationship

Kylie Jenner is used to having pretty much her entire life chronicled on The Kardashians, but it looks like she doesn't want the same for Timothée Chalamet. According to exclusive source comments recently obtained by the Daily Mail, “Kylie and Timothée are going so well because Kylie is not putting ultimatums on him to be a part of the Kardashians TV show.”

According to the unnamed source, Kylie and Timmy are enjoying “a more private relationship in which they can be as normal a couple as is possible considering their levels of fame.”

That said, momager Kris Jenner is reportedly eager to have Timothée appear on the show and be more public about his relationship with Kylie. “Kris would love for Timothée to flaunt Kylie everywhere, but Kylie is making sure to fight this because she doesn't want to make it more of a spectacle than it already is,” the source said, adding that Kylie “wants to nurture the relationship and have it last and not make a mockery out of it. They love doing normal and fun things with each other and are homebodies.”

According to the insider, Timothée reciprocates the feeling and “wants to focus all his attention away from work on her” because “he wants to be with Kylie for a long time.” The source shared that things like babies, engagements, and eventual weddings “are definitely on the table; it is not something for the immediate future."

June 28, 2024: Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet go on an incognito movie night date

After months of not being spotted together, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet put breakup rumors to rest by going on a movie night date in Los Angeles. The duo was photographed on an incognito date at Hollywood's TCL Chinese Theatre on a Friday night, wearing casual outfits and matching black face masks to avoid the paparazzi.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's date marked the first public outing of the pair caught on camera since they hardlaunched their relationship at the Golden Globes on January 7, 2024. That means it was the first time they were seen together in almost six months or half a year. You can see pictures of their outing here.

March 8, 2024: Kylie Jenner addresses comments claiming her new look is inspired by Timothée Chalamet.

Things have been on the quiet side for Kylothée over the past few months, with Chalamet busy promoting Dune 2 all over the world, Jenner entering her perfumier era, and multiple rumors that the two have broken up swirling around. Still, that doesn't mean they are not in each other's lives and Jenner's latest interview with The New York Times proves it.

Though Kylie Jenner was profiled by the newspaper to promote her new fragrance Cosmic, she was also asked about her relationship with Timothée Chalamet, particularly if she had seen online discourse implying her current, more laid-back style is influenced by her relationship with the actor, who's known to favor more casual looks.

"I don't know how I feel about that," Jenner replied when asked if she had seen people claiming Chalamet as the influence behind her current style. "I just don't want to talk about personal things."

Instead, Jenner said it was the birth of her second son, Aire, that made her switch gears when it comes to style. "It takes me a while after I have a baby to feel like myself again," the mogul explained, admitting she had postpartum depression. "Then you get your body back, and you're like, 'Wait, the trends have changed.'"

Now, was her answer sincere, or was she just trying to ditch a question about her relationship with Chalamet because there's more there that we don't know about? Only time will tell, but the two had been pretty public about their relationship, getting up close and personal at the Golden Globes and whatnot, prior to the Kylothée news drought.

January 8, 2024: Chalamet is reportedly “incredibly appreciative” of Jenner’s support during awards season.

Things are looking rather serious for Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. Following their PDA-filled night at the Golden Globes 2024, a source close to the couple revealed to ET that "things have been going very well" between the pair, noting "they are extremely supportive of one other and like to be there for each other."

"Kylie is extremely busy and has so many of her own things going on, but she makes an effort to show up for Timothée," the source told the outlet. "It means a lot to him to have her support and that she goes out of her way for him and the things he's passionate about. He is so incredibly appreciative and sees a side of Kylie that she doesn't necessarily show everyone."

Though awards season has only just begun, Jenner has been by Chalamet's side since the actor started his press run for Wonka. As we previously noted, the youngest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan jetted off to London to support Chalamet at the film's world premiere, where she skipped the red carpet. She also reportedly used the back entrance to attend the Los Angeles premiere with momager Kris Jenner.

"Their feelings are very mutual, and they are very sweet with each other. They are each other's cheerleaders in all facets of their lives," the ET source added. “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.”

January 7, 2024: Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet attend the Golden Globes together.

The couple made another official appearance together at Golden Globes 2024, where reporter Kyle Buchanan noted early that they had their dinner placards set side-by-side. The pair were spotted hanging out backstage at the Globes, according to The Hollywood Reporter, and they then made it to their table during an early commercial break.

December 25, 2023: Timothée Chalamet is seemingly spotted at the Kardashians' annual Christmas dinner

If you have been even remotely keeping up with the Kardashians at any time, then you'd know Christmas is a very big deal for the family. On top of the annual Christmas card, the family also throws a major Christmas dinner every year, where they gather wearing their finest garbs. Well, up the major factor because fans believe the Kardashians' annual Christmas dinner included Timothée Chalamet in its guest list.

Eagle-eyed viewers spotted a man who looked a lot like Timmy in the background of a video from the party shared by Travis Barker's son, Landon Barker, on Snapchat. (You can see the photo for yourself here.) Adding to the speculation is the fact that the mystery man was captured chatting really close to Kylie Jenner.

December 10, 2023: Jenner brings her mom Kris to the Los Angeles Wonka premiere.

So Kris Jenner has now seen her daughter's boyfriend swim in chocolate. People reports that Kylie Jenner and her mom attended the Los Angeles premiere of the movie to support Timmy, apparently “slipping into the theater following the film's opening credits.” Jenner has been a super supportive girlfriend during Chalamet's entire press run for Wonka — this is the second premiere she's attended for the film. On December 11, Jenner posted a selfie with her mom in the backseat of a car, headed out for a night on the town. “Mommy nights are the best nights,” she wrote in the Instagram caption. We wouldn't be surprised if this post was a later-gram and the two Jenners were actually on their way to the Wonka premiere in the pics.

December 4, 2023: Jenner and Chalamet officially define their relationship.

According to a source, anyway! Things keep moving right along between the Wonka star and the Kylie Cosmetics founder, and it appears they've (finally) put a label on their relationship. The source (Kris Jenner?) told People that Jenner is “incredibly happy” with “her boyfriend” and that her family loves him. He's equally smitten; the source says Chalamet is “in awe of everything she is accomplishing” and “especially thinks she is an amazing mom.”

Though the pair both have a ton going on in their professional lives — major movies, clothing lines, filming a reality show, going to galas — they're cool with it. “He is very supportive of her career and she of his,” the source shared. “They both try to attend important events for each other.” (Case in point: Jenner flying to London for the Wonka premiere and Chalamet popping up at the WSJ Innovator Awards, where Jenner was honored.)

Though we haven't seen the two together in a hot minute, it seems like everything is going well for the pair. “He is very good for Kylie. Since dating him, she seems very content, relaxed and focused," the source said. Does this mean Timmy is invited to the legendary Kardashian-Jenner Christmas Eve party this year? (Fingers crossed that he and Stormi are already planning their matching 'fits.)

November 28, 2023: Jenner travels to London to support Chalamet at the Wonka world premiere.

Chalamet might have been feeling the cold in his shirtless outfits at the Wonka world premiere in London, but it seems like he had someone there to keep him warm. Though she did not walk the red carpet alongside Chalamet, multiple eyewitnesses have confirmed Jenner made the trek from Calabasas to the British capital to support her boyfriend at his premiere screening.

TMZ and People have also confirmed Jenner joined Chalamet at the film's after-party, which was attended by other Wonka stars, including Hugh Grant and Keegan-Michael Key. Of course, Jenner being Jenner, her commute to the U.K. wasn't exactly discreet. Per TMZ, the beauty mogul touched down at Stansted Airport via her private jet. According to ET, Jenner was also spotted just “steps away” from Chalamet at the luxurious Corinthia Hotel in London, where the junket for the movie was taking place, wearing a “strapless black leather ensemble.”

November 1, 2023: Jenner and Chalamet match at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards.

After laying low for a while, Jenner and Chalamet were spotted together again at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City on November 1, where Jenner was honored with an award for her work with Kylie Cosmetics and her new clothing line Khy. As noted by People, Jenner and Chalamet didn't pose on the red carpet together, but their looks did match, they were seated together at the dinner, and they were spotted chatting and laughing during the event.

Jenner wore a gorgeous strapless Ferragamo gown with a shiny latex bodice, while Chalamet opted for a black-on-black suit. According to People, designer Haider Ackermann referenced their relationship when presenting Jenner with her award, shouting out her "very attractive lover" in the audience. Given that the holidays are on the horizon, we have one question: Will Chalamet appear on the legendary Kardashian-Jenner Christmas card this year?

September 21, 2023: Jenner uses a picture of herself and Chalamet as her lock screen.

While posing for photos at the Prada show during Milan Fashion Week, Jenner gave a subtle nod to her boyfriend via her iPhone lock screen. Elle Mexico has the pics, and shared the images with the caption: “We meet Kylie Jenner upon her arrival at the fashion show @Prada in Milan and we couldn't help but notice [her] wallpaper.”

Their photog caught her with her phone in hand, and the image on its background is very clearly a pic of Jenner and Chalamet in a very cozy, up close and personal moment together. He's almost — but not quite — kissing her cheek in the zoomed-in couples selfie. (This is honestly really cute and relatable.) The pic probably makes Jenner smile every time she reaches for her phone.

Back in California, TMZ caught up with Chalamet in Beverly Hills and asked him about his romance with Jenner. While the actor didn't answer the queries, but he did give a little smile when her name came up. It's the subtlety for me.

September 19, 2023: A source says Jenner is feeling “secure and confident” while dating Chalamet.

The Beyoncé concert and U.S. Open appearances were super high profile for the new couple, but a source told ET that there's a reason Jenner was OK debuting her relationship on such a public stage. According to the insider, the Kylie Cosmetics founder is “confident and secure” in her relationship with Chalamet and “feels like she can be herself with him,” which is something she values and enjoys.

The couple's connection apparently runs a lot deeper than we may have initially thought, when rumors about the two first began to circulate. "Timothée is also a family man and they relate to each other about that," the source explained. “Kylie’s friends and family think Timothée is great and love seeing her happy.” Once again, this is all coming from an unnamed source (Kris Jenner is that you?), so take it with a large grain of salt, but if Kylothée are happy, we're happy.

September 10, 2023: Jenner and Chalamet take their PDA to NYC.

In case you thought the Renaissance Tour videos were a fluke, the pair were spotted at NYFW events and the U.S. Open looking just as cozy — in matching outfits, no less. Now that the secret's out, it's time to admit that Kylothée is real, y'all.

First, the reality star and actor attended a dinner for designer Haider Ackermann together; a few days later, the couple were spotted cheesing in the celeb section of the U.S. Open, watching Novak Djokovic take on Daniil Medvedev. Not exactly a quiet, under-the-radar spot to be seen, so it seems like they're just fine letting the world know they're spending time together. (I mean, they did make out on camera at the concert.)

Jenner was dressed down in a black T-shirt, jeans and sunglasses, and Chalamet also kept things low-key in a gray T-shirt and black hoodie and hat. Throughout the game, Jenner and Chalamet sat with their arms around each other and repeatedly kissed, with Chalamet snapping film photos of his rumored girlfriend and Jenner also playing with her rumored boyfriend's hair as they watched the court action. Ah, l'amour.

September 4, 2023: Jenner and Chalamet are seen kissing at Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour.

Well, folks, it's official — Jenner and Chalamet are definitely a thing. The pair were spotted together at the September 4 Renaissance Tour stop in Los Angeles, first chatting casually and then cuddling and kissing in the VIP section. Yep, you read that right: cuddling and kissing. TMZ shared pics and videos of the duo looking very comfortable together indeed, and while we still don't have concrete proof that they're together-together (as in, a confirmation or denial from Jenner, Chalamet or their reps), these videos are certainly a compelling argument for Kylothée.

August 2, 2023: Rumors of a breakup are shut down by TMZ.

On August 2, Life & Style reported that Chalamet “dumped" Jenner after seven months of dating. “She’s telling people that things between them naturally fizzled out because they’re both busy and traveling,” said the magazine's source, “Kylie is playing it casual, but her friends know this must sting.”

However, only a few hours later, TMZ published their own report that shut down those very Kylothée breakup rumors, calling the story one that “couldn't be further from the truth.” According to “multiple sources close to the couple,” Jenner and Chalamet are avoiding the public eye intentionally; their relationship is private, not over. One of TMZ's sources claimed “any reports that say otherwise are false,” while another advised the public “not to believe everything they read.” Well, then.

July 28, 2023: Jenner's ex Travis Scott appears to diss Chalamet in a song.

Jenner's ex Travis Scott released his long-awaited fourth studio album Utopia on July 28, and may have weighed in on her new relationship via the the seventh track “Meltdown" featuring Drake. Scott's song references Willy Wonka — the very character Chalamet will portray onscreen later this year: “Chocolate AP and chocolate the Vs (Vs), got the Willy Wonka factory (Vs) / Burn a athlete like it's calories, find another flame hot as me, b*tch.” It might not the most compelling diss of all time, but it certainly doesn't feel like a coincidence.

Jenner and Scott have had an on-again, off-again relationship for years; they have been co-parenting Stormi and Aire since their latest split in early 2023. “Kylie knows she and Travis will always be in each other’s lives, and they have an amazing coparenting relationship," a source previously shared of the former couple. “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: A source confirms the pair are dating.

Shortly after Coachella's first weekend, Entertainment Tonight reported that Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet were actually dating, like, for real. A source confirmed the rumors to ET, revealing that the wild card couple is currently “keeping things casual” for now.

"It’s not serious, but Kylie is enjoying hanging out with Timothée and seeing where it goes," the source told ET. "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."

The Kardashian-Jenner family does love an unexpected boyfriend, like Kendall's recent public — and romantic — outings with Bad Bunny, and Kim's whirlwind romance with Pete Davidson. (Kylie and her on-again, off-again partner Travis Scott split for the second time in early 2023, several months after the birth of their son Aire.)

Social media did not take the Jenner and Chalamet news well, though. Timothée is one of the Internet's favorite actors, a constant boyfriend-of-the-month, and rumors of his relationship with Kylie are… a shock, to say the least.

"Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet dating is even more random than Kendall and Benito?!?!?" tweeted one user. "My life is over," wrote another. "The streets are saying Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner are dating… The Jenners are collecting my men like Pokemons, signing OFF," mourned another. Others think this could be a song and dance planted by either star's team (cough, cough Kris Jenner) to distract the public. "I’m sorry but the Timothée and Kylie rumors have to be a cover up for something bigger," theorized one Twitter user.

April 13, 2023: Jenner's car is seen at Chalamet's home.

On April 13, TMZ shared photos of Jenner's car, a black Range Rover, parked in the driveway of Chalamet's Beverly Hills home. A day later, Page Six reported that Jenner and Chalamet were seen out on a “secret date" in L.A. at a popular taco spot. Timmy was allegedly picked up by Jenner's driver and taken to the restaurant, and the couple reportedly ate their tacos in the backseat of her SUV. Romantic!

This led many to believe that Jenner and Chalamet would hard launch their relationship at Coachella. However, while Jenner was in attendance with her besties Fai Khadra and sister Kendall Jenner, Chalamet was not.

"Kylie decided she didn’t want to make things public with Timothée this past weekend at Coachella," a source told ET, “and really just wanted to chill and have fun with her friends.” The source also seemed to suggest that Jenner and Chalamet met through mutual friends — one mutual friend in particular. "Timothée is also friends with Kendall," said the source, “so it’s been easy for Kylie to integrate him into her life.”

Early April 2023: DeuxMoi reports Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are dating.

The dating rumors first caught fire during the first week of April via the celebrity gossip Instagram account DeuxMoi, which was lit up with anonymous tips about the potential coupling, including aforementioned rumors that the two would be attending Coachella 2023 together. While people claimed they had seen them together or have insider knowledge, nothing has been acknowledged, confirmed, or denied by Jenner or Chalamet. (Representatives for Kylie and Timothée did not respond to Teen Vogue's request for comment.)
