Timothée Chalamet ‘Hiding’ Kylie Jenner Romance, Doesn’t Want Her to ‘Overshadow’ Him, Source Says
Fans didn’t trust that Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner could sustain a lasting romance when they started dating in 2023. However, the movie star and the socialite are proving everyone wrong. Chalamet and Kylie keep their romance private, but insiders claim they’re still very in love. So, why the secrecy surrounding their relationship? Here’s what a source said regarding how Chalamet doesn’t want Kylie to “overshadow his career.”
Timothée Chalamet allegedly doesn’t want Kylie Jenner to ‘overshadow his career’
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner went public with their romance in September 2023. However, neither of them put their love on display. While Kylie has been more open with her relationships in the past, it’s clear she and Chalamet intend to keep the details of their relationship private.
A source told In Touch Weekly that the couple is “still going strong” after a year of dating. However, “they are keeping their romance on the down low” and have a “reason” for “hiding it.”
So, what’s the reason? The insider explained that Chalamet wants to ensure he prioritizes his career, as he “has too many important movies in the works.” The source noted that he “doesn’t want his relationship with Kylie, who makes headlines by just stepping outside, to overshadow his career.”
Kylie is allegedly “fine” with hiding her romance with Chalamet. However, her sister, Kim Kardashian, and mom, Kris Jenner, disagree.
“Her sister Kim and her mom Kris think she’s wasting a great opportunity and should basically exploit the romance,” the source continued. “Clearly, Kylie isn’t taking their advice. She loves Timothée and wants this relationship to work.”
Chalamet also seemingly doesn’t want to use the Kardashian-Jenner family’s reality TV platform to launch him to new heights. A source told The U.S. Sun that Chalamet’s team is “scared” of reality TV and wants to remain careful of his professional choices.
Kylie Jenner’s inner circle allegedly fears Timothée Chalamet isn’t as invested
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner are both career-driven professionals in their fields. Chalamet has become a booming Hollywood star, and Kylie attained fame in reality TV and with her cosmetics brand. While Kylie seems to want to make the romance work, those close to her inner circle allegedly fear that her famous boyfriend doesn’t have the same level of investment.
“Kylie is trying to hold onto her relationship with Timothée. But those around her fear it is becoming evident that he’s just not as invested in their relationship as she is anymore,” a source told DailyMail.com. “Kylie is madly in love with Timothée, and she put so much into this relationship. She went so public with their romance because she was sure it would last. But those closest to her feel he doesn’t make her a priority, and her sisters are now telling her to walk away, but she can’t.”
Another insider told Life & Style that Chalamet doesn’t seem to want to get to know the Kardashian-Jenner clan. “Timothée is obviously enjoying himself with Kylie, but when it comes to getting to know her family, he’s put in almost no effort and doesn’t seem to want to,” the insider alleged.
Are the two headed toward marriage?
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet haven’t publicly discussed where their romance could head next. So, is there any marriage talk between them? A source told The U.S. Sun that there’s a very real possibility of Kylie and Chalamet tying the knot.
“At the same time, he and Kylie are in a very serious relationship and could wind up as husband and wife,” the source claimed.
With the couple’s busy schedules and low-key romance, we don’t imagine Chalamet will get down on one knee in 2024.
