After months of speculation and furtive glimpses, the whispers have been silenced. Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner have officially confirmed their relationship, stepping onto the red carpet together for the first time, sending shockwaves through the entertainment world and delighting fans who have eagerly followed their burgeoning romance. The couple’s public debut took place at the prestigious David di Donatello Awards in Rome, Italy, an event celebrating the best in Italian cinema.
Chalamet, a rising star in Hollywood and beyond, was honored with the David Speciale award, a recognition reserved for actors of exceptional talent and those who contribute to innovative filmmaking on a global scale. The Academy of Italian Cinema acknowledged Chalamet’s significant impact on the industry, specifically highlighting his collaboration with acclaimed Italian director Luca Guadagnino in the critically lauded 2017 film, "Call Me by Your Name." This film, which catapulted Chalamet to international fame, has become a touchstone in contemporary cinema, praised for its nuanced performances and sensitive exploration of love and identity.
Jenner, a reality television icon, beauty mogul, and businesswoman, stood proudly by Chalamet’s side as he accepted the award. The pair exuded affection on the red carpet, with Jenner leaning affectionately against Chalamet as he kept his arm wrapped securely around her waist. Their body language spoke volumes, solidifying the relationship that has been the subject of intense media scrutiny and fan speculation for nearly two years.
While this marks their first official appearance as a couple on the red carpet, it’s not the first time Chalamet and Jenner have been spotted together. The couple has been subtly supporting each other in the past, carefully navigating the spotlight while maintaining a degree of privacy.
During Chalamet’s busy award season, which included his role in the Bob Dylan biopic "A Complete Unknown," Jenner opted to skip the red carpets but joined him inside the events, including the Oscars and the Golden Globes. This strategy allowed them to share special moments together without the full glare of the media. Photos of the couple at the Oscars circulated widely online, fueling speculation and excitement among fans.
Despite being caught on camera sharing affectionate moments, including a kiss at the 2024 Golden Globes, neither Chalamet nor Jenner had publicly addressed their relationship status until now. The absence of official confirmation only amplified the public’s fascination with their connection. Eagle-eyed fans meticulously searched for glimpses of the couple at events, often finding them seated together at award shows.
The pair has also been spotted at various sporting events. They were seen looking loved up at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California, and sat courtside together to watch the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA playoffs in April. Their attendance at these events further fueled rumors and provided ample fodder for social media discussions.
Social media posts also suggested that Chalamet and Jenner attended the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival together. Although they were not photographed together at the festival, eyewitness accounts and social media clues pointed to their presence as a couple.
Prior to their red carpet debut in Rome, both Chalamet and Jenner had attended events separately. Jenner, accompanied by sisters Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian, made an appearance at the 2025 Met Gala alongside Ferragamo designer Maximilian Davis just days before her outing with Chalamet. Her striking monochrome outfit drew attention, but the focus quickly shifted to her upcoming appearance with Chalamet in Rome.
The relationship between Chalamet and Jenner has been a subject of considerable interest due to their contrasting public images and careers. Chalamet is known for his roles in independent films and his commitment to artistic projects, while Jenner is a reality television star and a successful businesswoman in the beauty industry. Their pairing has challenged conventional expectations and generated considerable media buzz.
The red carpet debut in Rome signifies a new chapter in their relationship, indicating a willingness to embrace the public eye and share their love with the world. Fans are eager to see what the future holds for this high-profile couple and how their relationship will continue to evolve. The confirmation of their romance marks a significant moment in pop culture, uniting two influential figures from different realms of the entertainment industry. Their appearance at the David di Donatello Awards is sure to be remembered as the moment Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner officially stepped into the spotlight as a couple.
