Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet Quash Split Rumors Amidst Demanding Schedules
Despite actor’s absence from Jenner’s 28th birthday, sources confirm the high-profile couple remains committed, balancing global careers with dedicated communication.
Recent fan speculation regarding the relationship status of beauty mogul Kylie Jenner and acclaimed actor Timothée Chalamet has been definitively put to rest. Chalamet’s noticeable absence from Jenner’s 28th birthday celebrations earlier this week sparked a flurry of rumors, but sources close to the couple confirm to PEOPLE that their bond remains strong as they navigate the complexities of a long-distance relationship.
The primary reason for their recent time apart, according to insiders, is the rigorous filming schedule for Chalamet’s highly anticipated film, Dune: Messiah. The 29-year-old actor has been immersed in production at a studio in Budapest, with upcoming legs of filming slated for Jordan and Abu Dhabi. “They haven’t seen each other for a few weeks only because Timothée’s been filming Dune in a studio in Budapest, and Kylie’s been working too,” a source revealed.
For Kylie Jenner, a mother and a prominent businesswoman overseeing her beauty empire, the geographical challenges are significant. Even with access to a private jet, the flight from Los Angeles to Budapest spans approximately 12 hours. “She’s a mom and she works as well. She has a lot of responsibilities in LA,” the source added, emphasizing the dual pressures on her time. Similarly, Chalamet’s cinematic commitments are described as “grueling, with very little downtime.”
Despite the considerable distances and demanding careers, the couple is actively making their relationship work. Sources report they maintain connection through daily video calls. “They FaceTime most days. They miss each other and are totally fine,” an insider assured. Jenner also demonstrated her commitment by visiting Chalamet on set in July, a trip that occurred shortly after her attendance at Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos’ wedding in Italy. This brief reunion in France provided them a few precious days together before Chalamet departed for Prague to continue filming Dune: Messiah.
The couple’s romance first captured public attention when they were romantically linked in April 2023. Their first notable public appearance together followed five months later, when they were spotted at a Beyoncé concert in September 2023.
It wasn’t until May 2025, approximately two years into their relationship, that they made their official red carpet debut at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome, where Chalamet was honored with the prestigious David for Cinematic Excellence.
Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner celebrated her 28th birthday on August 10 with a chic dinner party meticulously planned by her sister, Kendall Jenner. The festivities, which Jenner shared glimpses of on Instagram, included a painting session, photo booth fun, and multiple celebratory cakes. “Best birthday ever!!!!!!! I’m so grateful to my family and friends for making this weekend so special and full of love. 28 feels so good!!!!! and to my sister @kendalljenner thank you from the bottom of my heart for planning everything so perfectly. I’m so lucky to have you,” she captioned her heartfelt posts. Chalamet, in turn, received subtle support from Jenner, who recently liked a clip of the trailer for his upcoming film, Marty Supreme, on Instagram.
