Timothée Chalamet has entered a new era. Actor, fashion darling, awards-season regular, and now, apparently, romantic muse-maker. The Oscar-nominated star is blending love, art, and a touch of playful flexing as his relationship with Kylie Jenner quietly yet unmistakably seeps into his creative orbit.
The internet first raised an eyebrow when rumors swirled that the “Marty Supreme” actor had adopted a secret rap alter ego called EsDeeKid. It sounded chaotic and unlikely. Naturally, it turned out to be fake. Timothée shut down speculation in the most Timothée way possible by popping up in a remix video for the song “4 Raws,” delivering a verse that was self-aware, tongue-in-cheek, and impossible not to decode.
“It’s Timothée Chalamet chillin’, tryin’ to stack $100 million,” he raps on the Dec. 19 release, before landing the line that sent social media spiraling. “[My] girl got $1 billion.” The moment marked one of the clearest acknowledgments yet that Kylie Jenner is more than just a red carpet plus-one.
A Love Story Told Between the Lines
Despite the lyrical shout-out, Timothée remains firmly committed to privacy. The 29-year-old has repeatedly declined to discuss his relationship with Kylie, including during a recent interview with Vogue. “I don’t say that with any fear,” he explained in November. “I just don’t have anything to say.”

The beauty mogul has long kept her romantic life guarded, even while living under one of the most powerful spotlights in pop culture. She shares two children, Stormi Webster, 7, and Aire Webster, 3, with ex Travis Scott, and has made it clear that certain parts of her world stay offline. Together, Timothée and Kylie have created a relationship that thrives on selective visibility. When they appear, it counts. When they disappear, speculation fills the gap.
The Red Carpet Reset Moment
That balance was on full display in early December when Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet arrived hand in hand at the Los Angeles premiere of “Marty Supreme.” After weeks of breakup rumors and radio silence, the couple delivered a visual mic drop.

Kylie stunned in a form-fitting orange dress with dramatic cut-outs and a plunging neckline. Timothée matched her energy in a bold orange ensemble of his own, complete with a ping pong paddle-shaped crossbody bag. The accessory was a playful nod to his character Marty Mauser, a champion table tennis player, and proof that Timothée never misses a thematic beat.
It was their first public appearance together since October, when they were spotted watching the New York Yankees take on the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium.
Quiet Romance, Loud Impact
While Kylie has avoided mentioning Timothée on “The Kardashians” and the couple rarely posts each other on social media, their presence has been felt throughout the year. Front-row Knicks games. International film awards. Carefully chosen moments that support Timothée’s career while keeping the relationship out of the influencer-industrial complex.
