Jenner’s quiet Instagram move dismissed rumours after Chalamet missed her birthday celebrations

Kylie Jenner has ended weeks of speculation about her relationship with Timothée Chalamet with just a single action. A quick tap on Instagram – liking her boyfriend’s latest movie trailer – was enough to silence the online rumours that had been building about their supposed split.

The reality star and beauty entrepreneur turned 28 earlier this month, celebrating in style with her family and friends. She shared a series of posts on Instagram, gushing about the love-filled weekend. “Best birthday ever,” Jenner wrote, thanking her sister Kendall for planning the celebrations. Yet one detail did not go unnoticed: Timothée Chalamet was missing from the guest list.

Fans quickly began speculating online that the couple’s romance had run its course. Social media was flooded with breakup theories, fuelled further by the pair not being seen together in recent weeks.

Chalamet, however, has been busy. The actor is currently filming Dune: Part Three in Budapest, a schedule that kept him away from Jenner’s birthday festivities. When he briefly reappeared on social media to promote his upcoming film Marty Supreme, Jenner immediately showed her support. Her subtle like on his post put an end to the whispers – the two are very much still together.

This isn’t the first time the pair have had to dodge speculation. Despite choosing to keep much of their relationship private, they have occasionally offered glimpses into their romance. In July, the couple were photographed holding hands during a getaway to Saint-Tropez. They avoided posting about each other directly, but paparazzi pictures captured them looking relaxed and affectionate.

Earlier this year, Jenner and Chalamet made their red carpet debut together at the David di Donatello Awards, confirming what had been one of Hollywood’s worst-kept secrets. Since then, they’ve been spotted courtside at New York Knicks games and attending awards ceremonies side by side.

Their relationship, which first surfaced in April 2023 when DeuxMoi hinted at a budding romance, has become increasingly public over the past year. Jenner has shown support for Chalamet’s acting projects, including his acclaimed performance in A Complete Unknown, which earned nominations at the Oscars, Golden Globes and SAG Awards.

The recent wave of breakup chatter, however, showed how closely the couple’s every move is watched. Jenner’s birthday posts, full of love for her children, family, and friends, were scrutinised more for what wasn’t there. Chalamet’s absence was enough for some to declare the romance finished.

But Jenner’s online show of support tells a different story. Far from drifting apart, the pair appear to be navigating the realities of two demanding careers while still finding time for one another. Her understated move was a reminder that not every relationship update requires a public announcement – sometimes, it’s the smallest gesture that speaks the loudest.

For fans of the couple, the message is clear: Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are still going strong. While they may spend periods apart, their bond looks set to withstand the pressures of fame, distance, and constant online speculation.
