For months, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have been Hollywood’s most-watched couple. From their red carpet debuts to their cozy appearances at award shows, the A-list pair seemed inseparable. But now, just two years into their romance, whispers of a breakup have taken over the internet — and Kylie has finally spoken up, in her own way.
From Glamorous Debuts to Disappearing Acts
Kylie Jenner, 28, and Timothée Chalamet, 29, first sparked dating rumors in April 2023. What began quietly quickly turned into a full-fledged relationship that dominated headlines. By early 2025, they were “practically living together,” insiders claimed, and their affectionate red carpet appearances — from the Golden Globes to the BAFTAs — had fans convinced this was Hollywood’s new power couple.
But fans grew suspicious this summer when the pair suddenly stopped being seen together in public. Notably, Chalamet was absent from Jenner’s birthday celebrations in August, a red flag considering the couple’s previously high-profile outings.
Kylie’s Social Media Fuelled the Fire
What really ignited speculation were Kylie’s cryptic Instagram posts. Around her birthday, the beauty mogul shared screenshots of breakup songs she had on repeat — including Jeff Buckley’s “Lover, You Should Have Come Over” and Labi Siffre’s “Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying.”
Adding to the mystery, Kylie’s close friend Hailey Bieber left a pointed comment under her birthday photos: “28 is better I promise.” Fans immediately took this as a sign that Kylie may have endured a rough patch — possibly linked to her romance.
Fans Demand Answers
As weeks went by without sightings of the couple, online speculation exploded. TikTok, Twitter, and fan forums buzzed with theories ranging from a quiet breakup to a deliberate attempt to keep their relationship private.
One fan wrote: “Timmy missing Kylie’s birthday is suspicious. They were glued together all awards season and now… silence?” Another added: “Kylie posting breakup songs says everything we need to know.”
Kylie Breaks Her Silence — Sort Of
Neither Jenner nor Chalamet has directly addressed the rumors, staying true to their famously private approach. But Kylie appeared to shut down the chatter with one subtle move: she liked Timothée’s Instagram post promoting the trailer for his new film Marty Supreme.
The gesture was enough for fans to interpret it as a quiet but deliberate message that the couple is very much still together. As one fan commented under the post: “Kylie’s like says it all — they’re fine.”
Why Did Timothée Miss Kylie’s Birthday?
The mystery remains unsolved. While insiders haven’t revealed why Chalamet skipped Jenner’s 28th birthday, Kylie seemed unbothered in her posts.
“Best birthday ever,” she wrote. “I’m so grateful to my family and friends for making this weekend so special and full of love. 28 feels so good!!!!! To my sister Kendall, thank you from the bottom of my heart for planning everything so perfectly. I’m so lucky to have you.”
The absence of Timothée’s name didn’t go unnoticed — but fans also know his career schedule is relentless, especially with film promotions and upcoming shoots.
What’s Next for Kylie and Timothée?
Whether the breakup rumors were exaggerated or not, it’s clear the couple remains under intense scrutiny. Their every like, comment, and appearance (or lack thereof) is dissected by fans and media alike.
For now, Kylie and Timothée are letting their subtle actions do the talking. And if history is any indication, they may be spotted together again just when fans least expect it.
