Take a deep breath, devotees of celebrity scandal—there’s a sultry new pair in Tinseltown, and they’re pairing off right under our noses! If you don’t follow the Kardashians, you might have a hard time fully grasping the extent of their stranglehold on American popular culture. Even longtime defenders of the family’s dubious nature and antics, like myself, don’t fully understand their pervasive power. But Kylie Jenner, the youngest billionaire in the world (by some estimates), is at the forefront of that strange beast known as contemporary American pop culture. So it’s news, or something damned close to it, when she starts dating.
In a forthright recent interview with British Vogue, Kylie divulges the reason why she is keeping this high-profile romance on the down-low. She tells the world, “Privacy is so important to me.” The immensely wealthy 26-year-old, who has never shied away from publicity, is making it clear that she and the unnamed partner intend to enjoy life off the very public stage—without the world peering in.
This starry-eyed relationship first came to fans’ attention in April 2023, after Kylie Jenner ended her relationship with rapper Travis Scott. Since then, Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have set the world abuzz as they’ve been seen enjoying some hot-and-heavy summer romance. Whether they’re soaking up the sun in a California wine country, pouring on the PDA at the U.S. Open, or looking super serious and kissy-kissy outside the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, it’s clear that this duo has the makings of a long-term Hollywood power couple.
Kylie is as enigmatic as they come. In an interview with the New York Times, she stated about personal questions, “I just don’t want to talk about personal things.” Yet how can one avoid talking about the personal when one is the subject of an all-but-universal fascination? For all the secrets that Kylie keeps, a few blushing public moments with her and her loved one have become the known knowns of this budding romance. What will happen next? One can only wait with bated breath for the next installment.
If you are as eager as I am to find out what happens next in the love story of Kylie and Timothée, then you’re going to have to wait. What power couple could ever be more likely to surprise us than these two? They are way too good at romantic surprises for my liking, but I guess I can’t fault them for it. So stay tuned—will they get married? Will they have kids? Will they break up? This is serious business, folks.
