Who Is Timothee Chalamet Dating? Everything We Know About His Love Life in 2026

Who Is Timothee Chalamet Dating Right Now?

Timothee Chalamet is dating Kylie Jenner, and the relationship is now in its fourth calendar year. What began as whispered rumors in the spring of 2023 — the pair reportedly met during Paris Fashion Week that January — has become one of the most documented romances in Hollywood, even as both parties have said almost nothing about it directly. The public record is built from appearances: the U.S. Open in September 2023 (their debut as a couple), Golden Globes dates in 2024, 2025, and 2026, a red carpet debut in May 2025 at Rome's David di Donatello Awards, and a 2026 awards season in which Chalamet thanked Jenner from every podium.

The 2026 awards run was the relationship's coming-out party. Accepting Best Actor at the Critics' Choice Awards on January 4, 2026, for his performance in Marty Supreme, Chalamet said: "Thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn't do this without you." Cameras cut to Jenner mouthing "I love you, too." Days later at the Golden Globes, she kissed him as he was called to the stage, and he shouted her out again in his speech. At the Oscars in March 2026 — where he was nominated for Best Actor — he walked the carpet solo but she was seated beside him inside.

As of October 2026, they are still together and, per recent reports, deeply serious — with engagement rumors swirling and being batted away in equal measure. The latest sightings include a May 2026 double date in New York (after Chalamet skipped the Met Gala, where Jenner appeared solo) and hand-holding at the 2026 World Cup final in July. Us Weekly reported in 2026 that the couple has discussed getting engaged, with a source saying Jenner jokes Chalamet is "already her husband" — while a separate People report in August 2026 said they are "very much in love" but in no rush.

Who Is Kylie Jenner, Timothee Chalamet's Girlfriend?

Kylie Jenner, 29, needs little introduction: reality television royalty turned beauty mogul, founder of Kylie Cosmetics (launched 2015), Kylie Skin, and the fashion label Khy, and star of The Kardashians. Born August 10, 1997, she is two years younger than Chalamet. She is also a mother of two — Stormi and Aire — from her on-and-off relationship with rapper Travis Scott (2017-2019, 2021-2023).

What makes the pairing fascinating is how thoroughly it defied expectations. When rumors first surfaced in April 2023, Chalamet's devoted fanbase largely refused to believe it — some called it a PR relationship, others simply willed it not to be true. Three years of courtside PDA, awards-show kisses, and matching outfits later, the skeptics have mostly gone quiet. Chalamet has integrated into her world (family events, her brand — he wore Khy on Instagram in May 2026) and she into his (every major awards show of 2026).

Notably, Jenner has kept Chalamet almost entirely off her own platforms: she has not posted photos of him on Instagram, and he has not appeared on The Kardashians (save a clip of her getting ready for the 2025 Golden Globes, which she attended with him). The relationship lives in paparazzi photos and his acceptance speeches — his terms, seemingly, more than hers.

Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner: Relationship Timeline

Three and a half years, assembled from sightings and speeches.

The relationship's visibility has increased in direct proportion to its duration — the opposite of most celebrity romances, which start hot and cool. The 2023-2024 era was paparazzi-driven; 2025 brought the red carpet debut; 2026 brought the podium declarations. If there is a fourth act, the engagement rumors suggest what it might be — but both camps have been careful to say "not yet."

Before Kylie: Timothee Chalamet's Dating History

Chalamet's pre-Jenner romantic history was a catalog of Gen-Z it-couples. His first serious relationship was with Lourdes Leon, Madonna's daughter, whom he dated while both attended LaGuardia High School in New York. Leon confirmed in 2021 that they remain on good terms, calling him "my first boyfriend" and saying "I respect him a lot."

Next came Lily-Rose Depp (2018-2020), the defining paparazzi romance of his early fame — their 2019 Venice makeout session, captured on a boat, became one of the most circulated celebrity photo sets of the decade. Chalamet later told GQ he went to bed thinking it was one of the best days of his life, then woke up embarrassed by the coverage. A brief 2020 fling with Eiza Gonzalez followed, then an unconfirmed Coachella 2022 moment with influencer Sarah Talabi that both sides declined to dignify.

The Jenner relationship has now lasted longer than all the others combined — and at a far higher wattage of fame. It is, by any measure, the defining romance of his adult life so far.

Are Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner Engaged?

No — or at least, not that anyone can confirm. The engagement question has trailed the couple through 2026. In February 2026, Chalamet was asked directly whether he could see himself getting married and, after joking "you're gonna get me in trouble," answered "Yes." Us Weekly reported the couple has talked about getting engaged in 2026, with Jenner joking he is "already her husband." But a People-sourced report in August 2026 pumped the brakes: the pair are "very much in love" and want the relationship to keep "progressing slowly," with no engagement plans in the near future.

Read together, the reports describe a couple in no hurry — which, given the three-and-a-half-year runway, is its own statement. They have done everything except the paperwork: met the families, attended the weddings of friends as a unit, integrated into each other's professional lives, and declared love on live television. The wedding, if it comes, will be announced on their terms.

As of October 2026: dating since spring 2023, red-carpet official, awards-season official, not engaged, not married — and, by every available account, the steadiest thing in either of their public lives.

There is a case that this is simply what a modern long-term celebrity relationship looks like when both parties are too famous to hide and too disciplined to overshare. No joint interviews, no couple's brand, no reality-TV arc — just a slow accumulation of public evidence: a U.S. Open here, a Golden Globe there, a "partner of three years" dropped into an acceptance speech like it was the most natural thing in the world. Three and a half years in, Chalamet and Jenner have built the rarest thing in Hollywood: a relationship the public feels it knows, assembled entirely from moments neither of them staged.
