- Are Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet actually dating? Seems like it.
- Jenner was photographed leaving Chalamet's house in May.
- They still haven't confirmed a relationship, but the two reportedly first met in January during Paris Fashion Week.
In what is arguably the most unexpected celebrity coupling since Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson, Kylie Jenner appears to be dating Timothée Chalamet.
Reports first surfaced in April that the two were casually seeing each other. In the weeks since, more information has come to light about their rumored first meeting and sources have given details on the relationship, though neither Jenner nor Chalamet have commented on or confirmed it publicly.
Most recently, paparazzi photos showed Jenner leaving Chalamet's home in Beverly Hills, California. Here's everything we know about the unconfirmed relationship so far, from when it may have started to the pair's secret taco dates.
Representatives for Chalamet and Jenner didn't immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
January 2023: Jenner and Chalamet meet during Paris Fashion Week

People reported that Jenner had again split from Travis Scott, the father of her two children, earlier in January, though the source told People it was "probably not the end" of Jenner and Scott's famously on-again, off-again relationship. Chalamet, for his part, had most recently been linked to model Sarah Talabi in 2022 and actress Eiza González in 2020.
March 27: The two reportedly attend a dinner with Kendall Jenner and Kendall's rumored boyfriend Bad Bunny

Shortly before the Kymothée relationship rumors took the internet by storm, Page Six reported on March 27 that Jenner's sister Kendall and rapper Bad Bunny (who'd themselves been at the center of dating rumors for about a month at that point) were photographed out together leaving a club in West Hollywood, California.
The Page Six report mentioned in passing that Kendall and Bad Bunny had dinner "alongside other A-Listers — including her sister, Kylie Jenner, and Timothée Chalamet," among others.
April 6: DeuxMoi posts about Jenner and Chalamet dating rumors
On April 6, pop-culture gossip curator DeuxMoi posted an anonymous fan submission claiming that "multiple sources" had told them that Chalamet "has a new girl... Kylie Jenner. ⚰️⚰️"

DeuxMoi soon followed that up with submissions from other readers who claimed they could confirm the news. One anonymous source told Deuxmoi they'd known about the pairing since Paris Fashion Week in January, indicating that the relationship may have started then.
The internet had a collective meltdown, with some expressing shock and horror at the unexpected pairing and others straight up refusing to believe that the two, who seem to run in very different social circles, had ever even met.
April 7: Jenner and Chalamet eat tacos in a car together
According to photos from paparazzi agency Splash News reported on by Page Six and TMZ, Jenner and Chalamet had a "secret date night" at Tito's Tacos, a restaurant outside of Los Angeles, that involved a kind of complicated car swap situation.
Page Six reported that Jenner picked Chalamet up in her car after he attended an art show. One of Jenner's security guards then apparently drove Chalamet's car, which followed Jenner's car, to Tito's Tacos, at which point Jenner's team hopped out and brought tacos back to the car, according to TMZ.
Jenner wasn't photographed during the reported date.
April 13: Jenner's car is seen at Chalamet's house
On April 13, TMZ published photos from paparazzi agency Backgrid showing a black car, which they identified as Jenner's black Range Rover SUV, in the driveway of a house, which they identified as Chalamet's Beverly Hills, California, estate. Other publications, including the Daily Mail and Page Six, reported on the same photos.
Page Six noted that the SUV had tinted windows and Jenner was never actually photographed inside the car, so it's unclear whether she was in it. The Daily Mail reported that the black SUV "arrived around 10 a.m. and left mere minutes later" followed by a "blacked out security Escalade."
Jenner famously collects luxury cars and she's shown a preference for Range Rovers in the past.
Representatives for Chalamet and Jenner didn't respond to requests for comment from TMZ, the Daily Mail, and Page Six at the time of the reports.
April 14-19: Sources say Jenner and Chalamet are dating, but just casually
Entertainment Tonight and People both separately reported on sources confirming the casual romance and giving more context for why Jenner and Chalamet were not going public.
On April 14, People reported that "a source close to 'The Kardashians' star" confirmed that Jenner and Chalamet "are hanging out and getting to know each other." (Representatives for Jenner and Chalamet didn't respond to People's request for comment at the time.)
Entertainment Tonight reported similar information from a source.
"They are keeping things casual at this point. It's not serious, but Kylie is enjoying hanging out with Timothée and seeing where it goes," said Entertainment Tonight's source in a story published April 17. "It's been really fun for her because it feels a lot different than her past relationships. It's new and exciting for Kylie and she's having a lot of fun."
The two both attended Coachella mid-month but avoided being photographed together, Page Six reported.
According to the Entertainment Tonight source, Jenner may have met Chalamet through her sister, Kendall, which tracks with their reported attendance at the March 27 dinner. "Timothée is also friends with Kendall, so it's been easy for Kylie to integrate him into her life," the source told Entertainment Tonight.
People reported on April 19 that a source close to Jenner said Jenner and Chalamet "hang out every week" and that Jenner is "having fun" and "wants to date without any pressure" after her on-and-off relationship with Travis Scott. The source also told People that the two had met "earlier this year at an event in Europe," which tracks with the viral video of the two from Paris Fashion Week in January.

Since the relationship reports broke, fans had been speculating that in true Kardashian-Jenner family style, the couple would make their big public debut in a splashy spectacle on the Met Gala red carpet.
Alas, that didn't happen. Jenner did attend the Met Gala, but she went solo, and Chalamet skipped the fashion event altogether.
May 29: A source tells People that Chalamet and Jenner are still casually dating, but it's still not serious
After weeks of relative silence on the Chalamet-Jenner front, a source confirmed to People that the reality star and the "Dune" actor are still enjoying each other's company and not putting labels on their relationship. According to People's source, Jenner's main priority is being a mom to 5-year-old Stormi and 15-month-old Aire.
A few days before People's report, Backgrid photos obtained by Page Six appeared to show the same black Range Rover (apparently Jenner's) from the April 13 sighting parked once again in the driveway of Chalamet's Beverly Hills home.
Sometime in May: Jenner is finally seen leaving Chalamet's home
On June 1, Page Six reported that Jenner had been photographed leaving Chalamet's house for the first time. In the photos taken by Splash News, Jenner can be seen in the driver's seat of her black Range Rover, glancing at her phone before driving away from Chalamet's home.
Chalamet was photographed by the same paparazzo leaving in his own car shortly after Jenner departed.
