Timothee Chalamet & Kylie Jenner ‘aren’t that serious’ but ‘she likes what she sees’

This Kylie Jenner-Timothee Chalamet rollout is really something. I never would have thought that Chalamet would participate in a Kardashian operation, but here we are. Not for nothing, but I always respected the way Kylie Jenner operated in her romantic life too, in that she keeps things very quiet, she was able to hide a whole-ass pregnancy and people still have no idea what happened between her and Travis Scott. So, Kylie isn’t in-our-faces about who she’s seeing. Usually. But suddenly, she’s going on dates with Timothee out in public? They were spotted at a taco joint two Fridays ago:

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are giving us a lot to taco ’bout. The rumored couple was spotted on a secret date night last Friday outside Los Angeles hotspot Tito’s Tacos.

After attending an art show, the “Dune” actor — who tried to stay under the radar in a baseball hat and face mask — waited for a ride outside, only to be picked up by Jenner’s Lincoln Navigator. One of the “Kardashians” star’s security guards then hopped into Chalamet’s car, driving behind Jenner’s car motorcade-style until reaching the restaurant.

The stars, who hid behind tinted windows, went to extremes to keep their rendezvous on the down low, chowing down on tacos from the backseat of Jenner’s SUV. Not only did the pair want privacy from the public, but Jenner’s security also stepped out of the car for about 30 minutes to give the A-listers a little alone time.

Although the reality TV star was never photographed, her car was also spotted at the actor’s Beverly Hills mansion less than one week later.

This is so weird. Were paparazzi sitting on this info? Or did some paparazzo only put it together recently that Kylie’s SUV picked up Chalamet? And what a weird way to go on a date too – I don’t begrudge Kylie her top-of-the-line security, but I could think of much easier ways to have a taco date. Us Weekly did a little story about Kylie and Timmy too:

“Kylie has only hung out with Timothée a couple of times, so things aren’t that serious. However, she’s enjoying getting to know him better and is open to seeing where things go. Things are very new so it’s hard to tell, but so far she likes what she sees.”

“Timothée is a total gentleman and treats [Kylie] with respect. He’s very charming and he makes her laugh, and he’s easy to talk to,” the insider adds. “He’s not like any of the other guys she’s dated before and although he may not seem like her type, they have really good chemistry.”

[From Us Weekly]

HE might not seem like HER type? What I’m stuck on is that she does not seem like HIS type at all. I picture him with fine-boned, bird-like women, not someone with a BBL and a dozen other cosmetic procedures. All that being said… they’re both young, so whatever – maybe they’re just dating and having a good time and it’s nothing super-serious. But surely I’m not alone in finding this coupling to be crazy-random, right?

BTW, what’s their portmanteau? Kylothee? Timlie? Jennamet? Kymmy?

    It doesn’t necessarily surprise me that he’d be down to hook up with her on the sly. He’s young and probably thinks she’s hot, whatevs.

    But from a PR perspective, and the way this is all rolling out, it just seems…. Not great? Like, in terms of maintaining the “high brow artist” image his team has curated.

    That’s what feels so confusing to me. Weird move, bro

    • Geegee says:

      It still feels like fake, desperate kardashian bullshit. Momagers making a lot of phone calls.

      • Typical Virgo says:

        @GeeGee- 100000%!!!!! If Kylie Jenner is dating Timothy Chalemet then I’m the Queen of England. And I most DEFINITELY am not Camzilla.

        This is all about Kyle trying to make Travis jealous. And Kaiser is incorrect, there is PLENTY of tea out there about the Kylie/Travis breakup

    • LIONE says:

      There is no chance in hell Timmy C will play step-dad, so this will never get super serious.
      But she is his type. He has been linked to models who fill their body parts with plastic ever since he broke up with Lily-Rose Depp.
      He doesn’t like too skinny. Remember Eiza Gonzales?

      This will be probably just be a “thing” and if they start dating more seriously he will be out pretty soon. Kids, plastic, lots of paparazzi and gossip. He’s not going to deal with that.

      And the way everything is from her perspective. Someone’s feeding all this detail to the press. What a mystery….. lmao

  2. Persephone says:

    Yawn. This is fakest PR move ever.

  3. Duch says:

    I love this. who has the power in this developing relationship? SHE likes what SHE sees. Man. Growing up in the 70’s with the male in relationship presented as the one doing the choosing, this just gives me a chuckle.

    • Eurydice says:

      It’s hilarious, like she’s buying a horse – good teeth, nice haunches

    • Esmerelda says:

      Yep, I’m enjoying the vibe of “she got herself a pretty boy for the summer”, it’s like she’s cosplaying a cougar ironically, it’s fun.
      And I firmly believe you need some authentic bad taste to enjoy life, he was getting a bit too cerebral, he could have become an artiste at any moment, he’s saved now. Give us a proper photo op, Khalamet

  4. blue says:

    This doesn’t seem real. I’d expect him to aim higher. It elevates Kylie from vacuous attention-seeking make-up (& fake-up) show off.

    • kelleybelle says:

      I keep waiting for those ridiculous lips to explode …

      • shanaynay says:

        That, and the whole body. Especially that butt! I think eventually they are all going to explode and melt away.

  5. SarahCS says:

    Tylie.

  6. SAS says:

    Kymmée?

    Sounds like the most awkward date ever. I’m honestly wracking my brains trying to think of any brand ambassador crossovers they have, like is LV trying to create another Nick Jonas/ Priyanka Chopra are they-aren’t they Met Gala moment?? Weird.

  7. Ruby says:

    I like to look up menus of places where celebs eat. Everything on the Tito’s Tacos menu looks – messy? Like it would be hard to eat in the back seat of a car. Beef and cheese tacos? I just can’t imagine Kylie and Timmy “chowing down” and then having a 30 minute make out session with the mess, wrappers, smell etc. Weird date.

    • Jc says:

      I laughed when they described Titos as a hot spot. Hardly. It is hole in the wall that had been there forever and the food is terrible.

      • DaniB says:

        What? Tito’s is DEFINITELY a hot spot! That place is always busy and always has crazy long lines!

      • Ang says:

        DaniB, by that logic, the drive through McDonalds is a hot spot.
        I think JC meant it is not a chic en-vogue spot one would expect pap-bait to frequent.

    • BeanieBean says:

      That’s what I thought, tacos in the back of a car? Just parked at the curb? Doesn’t sound like a fun date to me.

    • LIONE says:

      My friend who’s an astrologer did Kylie’s and Timmy’s charts and the first thing he said was: well, they are both very messy people who struggle with household duties and follow-through, and I laugh at that everytime I think about it.
      Apparently they are a good match because they are oddly similar. Who would have thought?

  8. K8erade says:

    I doubt it’ll work in the long-run. My best guess is she’ll be back with Travis by the end of the year and he’ll be back to his normal artiste self by then too. However, we could all read this totally wrong. But this seems like a healthy adventure for both of them.

    • Sudie says:

      Where does all this, Timothee is an artiste, coming from. He played a gay man in a very indie artistic movie and has a diacritic above his double ee’s in his name (which seems more pretentious than “artiste”)? Other than that, I haven’t seen anything to indicate that he is anything other than a normal 25 year old guy. I genuinely don’t understand where this perception of him being a 18th century poet comes from. ???

  9. Nyro says:

    The Kardashians are desperate to remain relevant. This sounds like they hooked up a couple of times and now Kris and Kylie are playing p.r. games in order to try to claim him. Random pictures of Timothee alone and pics of random black SUVs is all anyone’s seen. That family have pulled bigger stunts than this, so I’m not buying it.

  10. Sugarhere says:

    The day Plastic Kylie + Timothée Chalamet became the new Gigi + Leo. None of them is important enough for me to really care.

    Chalamet should be warned he has a lot to lose money-wise and image-wise, by being acquainted with a notorious s….

    • Ang says:

      What is “s…”? She is disgusting, stupid, a tart, and deformed, but if the “s” word is slut, I’m not sure that’s accurate. I think she’s only ever had two boyfriends.

    • Meh says:

      @Ang — I think S could only mean sugar, since sl** is such an outdated, woman-shaming misogynistic, patriarchal term. Right, @S****here?

    • Mel says:

      I can’t stand the K-Clan but calling her a slut isn’t cool and nowhere near accurate. They are serial monogamists who are always looking for someone to settle down with to have a family. Plenty of other things to call them that they’ve earned and deserved but they are far cry from sluts.

      • Typical Virgo says:

        Mel- I agree that ‘slut’ is an absurdly out-dated, misogynistic term that hypocritical men use to describe any woman who isn’t a nun.
        But, when you say Kylie is “a far cry”, I’m assuming that you’re implying that she has only had sex with a small # of men, and unless you two are confidantes, you can’t really know that. I think it’s better for NONE of us to claim at all to be privy to the amount of action, or lack thereof, that Kylie has had in her life. None of us know her, ya know? And that really should be applied to ANYONE we don’t know intimately. A total stranger should never be commenting on my sex life, or lack thereof lol, and vice versa.

        And I’m totally joking when I say “amount of action, or lack thereof”

      • Sugarhere says:

        Regarding that person, I stand by my opinion on her general conduct.

  11. mycatlovestv says:

    After the night is over (or several nights), you still need to have a partner that you can talk to. And I don’t see any there there in the deep discussion department. Have fun kids…while it lasts.

  12. Normades says:

    “ Kylie has only hung out with Timothée a couple of times, so things aren’t that serious.”
    They hooked up once and are milking it for all it’s worth. They’ll be dunzo tomorrow.

  13. Zazzoo says:

    Ugh @ the Bauhaus tee. I’m not gate keeping who can listen to Bauhaus but I’m sure the band would agree they don’t want to be even tangentially associated with a K- J.

  14. FilmTurtle says:

    Wait, so according to these excerpts, she wasn’t actually photographed? Just her alleged car and alleged bodyguards? That’s a sweet gig; worldwide PR and you don’t even need to show up.

  15. MsIam says:

    Well I keep seeing on the internet how KarJenner show ratings are down this season, so I guess they are holding auditions for new cast members.

  16. Rose says:

    I heard someone saying that Kylie actually is his type – Kylie and Eiza Gonzalez resemble each other and Timothy and Eiza were a thing.

    Whatever these two are doing, if it’s dating casually, seriously, a hookup, a fauxmance or whatever – God bless.

  17. Mel says:

    I will buy them as a real couple when he walks a red carpet with her and behaves like they are a couple. It’s always all fun and games in the shadows…… Have fun kids!

  18. Anonymous says:

    Kylie seems like a good egg. Especially since, for context, she was basically forced into being a child star and then her family go so famous that it wasn’t really feasible for her to pursue many activities and other options that she normall would at key developmental ages. She was allowed to hang out with an older man who was grooming her while she was living through the trauma of their parents’ divorce and her “greatest athlete in the world” father transitioning to female, losing her childhood live-in bff Jordan, breaking up with Tyga and almost immediately getting pregnant at 19. Somehow, she managed to avoid the worst of Hollywood and became a super loving mother to two children while following her passion for makeup and becoming at least a half-billionaire and, unlike most of her sisters, largely extricating herself from the must-be-in-every-episode reality tv demands of KUWTK/TK. When you do see her, she does things like go grocery shopping with Kris because she misses it (A throwback to her younger adult days when her episodes would focus on her wanting to become a homeowner and learn how to do laundry, decorate, etc.). If Kylie Jenner is now, maybe for the first time in her life, embarking on an age-appropriate dating adventure with Timothy C., I say good for her. She has survived and thrived through what almost no one ever has or would-her life has been a Truman show experiment. She seems to have made the most of it and kept her sanity and provided wonderful lives for her kids. Is she perfect? No, but who is?

  19. Oswin says:

    Not since Cavill and Cuoco went grocery shopping has there been so obvious a publicity stunt…

  20. Abby says:

    There’s a lot of misogyny in the way the media is treating this. Why would we not consider it from her perspective? Why does it have to be from his? Yes, he may not be HER type. What makes him so much better than her? He’s an ACTOR, he lies and pretends for a living. He’s not a filmmaker or a writer or a painter or a composer. Why would he be somehow above her? Does he have a secret degree from MIT or Oxford that we don’t know about?

    Give the woman some respect and benefit of the doubt. So what if she has transformed her appearance? Is she not allowed to? What woman has not altered her apperance in some ways at least once in their life? Most women wear makeup, get their hair done, take care of what they wear to appear a certain way, get braces if their teeth are crooked, bla bla. And yes, many people also get plastic surgery. It’s not a crime and doesn’t reflect on someone’s intelligence.

    I don’t care if she has plastic surgery or whether she makes money from selling makeup or doing a reality tv show. It’s not different than what he does when you get down to it, so good for her. She’s hustling for a living and so is he. They both seem like decent people, not like abusers or pedophiles or whatever. So stop piling crap on her as if she isn’t worthy of him.
    We need to move on from this backward partiarchical mentality about women and their worth.

    • Kitten says:

      She’s not some harmless businesswoman just trying to make a buck. She’s a vapid culture vulture who upholds and promotes unhealthy body standards. That’s why some people dislike her.

    • Sof says:

      The misogyny lies in the way people treat Chalamet thinking PR moves are “above” him or something. He dated Lourdes Leon and Lily Rose, imagine if it was a girl going from the son of a world famous singer to the son of a world famous actor? People would have diminished her acting abilities immediately, accussing her of getting jobs through her connections.
      And don’t get me started on how no one questions his working with Woody Allen like they do with other women!
