APPLETON, Wis. — Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, the Hollywood actor and reality TV star turned cosmetics mogul, appear to be heating up their romance with a sun-soaked beach getaway, based on recent social media posts from both. Chalamet, 30, shared Instagram photos on March 30 showing him running shirtless across a secluded beach in black swim trunks and lounging in shallow waters, while Jenner, 28, posted her own images from March 29 and 30, including one in a black string bikini in crystal-clear water with the caption, “Having the time of my life.” The images, which seem to capture the same tropical location, come amid a relationship that has evolved publicly over nearly three years, marked by red carpet appearances, award show shoutouts, and occasional glimpses into their private world.
According to reports from E! News, the couple's latest vacation photos suggest they shared the trip, though neither directly featured the other in their posts. Chalamet's images included him making waves on a watercraft in the ocean, with a yacht visible on the horizon. Jenner's additional post from March 30 showed her posing on the same beach in a tan-and-yellow swimsuit and relaxing on a yacht's sun bed. The pair was last spotted together publicly at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party on March 15, where they displayed rare public displays of affection while posing on the red carpet.
Their relationship first sparked rumors in April 2023, shortly after Jenner's split from rapper Travis Scott, with whom she shares two children: daughter Stormi, born in 2018, and son Aire, born in 2022. E! News confirmed in August 2023 that the couple was still together, countering earlier reports of a breakup. By September 2023, they made their connection more official, attending Beyoncé's birthday concert in Los Angeles, where they were seen packing on the PDA, and later a star-studded New York Fashion Week dinner.
That same month, Chalamet and Jenner appeared courtside at the U.S. Open in New York, sharing a kiss that fueled further speculation. In an October 2023 interview with GQ, Chalamet addressed the challenges of dating someone with Jenner's level of fame, laughing as he referenced a South Park episode parodying Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's privacy struggles. “This reminds me of that recent South Park episode with the Worldwide Privacy Tour,” he said. “Sometimes, people are going to be hella confused when you say you're trying to live a private life.”
November 2023 brought more low-key date nights, including the WSJ. Magazine Innovator Awards, where they skipped the red carpet but were spotted smiling together inside. Later that month, after Chalamet hosted Saturday Night Live, the couple arrived separately at the after-party but were seen together. As 2024 began, they turned the Golden Globes into a romantic affair, with reports describing it as a “kiss cam” moment amid the awards buzz, free from breakup rumors.
The tradition continued into January 2025, when Jenner again accompanied Chalamet to the Golden Globes. There, he was nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture—Drama for his role in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, though he lost to Adrien Brody. Despite the professional setback, sources described their evening as a win in the romance department. Jenner did not join him at the 2025 Oscars, where Chalamet was again nominated for A Complete Unknown, but she was by his side at the Vanity Fair after-party that followed.
April 2025 saw the couple enjoying a night out at a Los Angeles Lakers game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. In May 2025, they made their first joint red carpet appearance at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome, where Chalamet received a special prize for his acting career. That same month, Jenner's sister Kendall Jenner joined them for a date at a New York Knicks versus Boston Celtics game at Madison Square Garden.
By August 2025, Jenner traveled to Budapest to visit Chalamet on the set of Dune: Part Three. The pair posed for photos with fans at a local coffee shop, offering a rare candid moment. In December 2025, they matched in orange Chrome Hearts outfits at the Los Angeles premiere of Chalamet's film Marty Supreme, an ensemble so memorable that it was recreated by actors Megan Stalter and Paul W. Downs at the January 2026 Critics Choice Awards.
Awards season in early 2026 highlighted their bond further. At the Critics Choice Awards in January, Chalamet won Best Actor for Marty Supreme and dedicated the honor to Jenner, calling her his “partner of three years.” “I'll just say thank you to my partner of three years,” he said in his acceptance speech. “Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn't do this without you.” Jenner, watching from the audience, mouthed “I love you” in response. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much,” he added.
The Golden Globes that same month brought online excitement when a viral image purported to show Jenner's name card as “Kylie Jenner Chalamet.” However, E! News reported from inside the Beverly Hilton ballroom that the font on the actual cards differed from the fake image circulating online. Despite the unconfirmed speculation, it was a celebratory night, with Chalamet winning Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy for Marty Supreme and giving Jenner a sweet shoutout.
In February 2026, the couple attended the British Academy Film and Television Arts Awards in London, where Chalamet was nominated for Leading Actor. Sources described their appearance as a beautiful transatlantic extension of their awards season romance. Throughout their time together, Chalamet and Jenner have balanced high-profile moments with efforts to maintain privacy, especially given Jenner's role on The Kardashians and her business empire with Kylie Cosmetics.
The beach photos mark a return to more relaxed, vacation-style sharing after a period focused on Chalamet's promotional duties for Marty Supreme, which also saw him lose the Best Lead Actor Oscar to Michael B. Jordan earlier this year. While the couple has not commented directly on the getaway, the timing aligns with a brief pause in their schedules following the Oscars circuit.
As their relationship enters its fourth year, observers note the pair's ability to navigate fame's glare. Chalamet's comments on privacy resonate amid ongoing media interest, and Jenner's posts suggest a focus on personal joy. With Chalamet set to resume filming and Jenner expanding her brand, their shared moments like the recent beach trip underscore a foundation built on mutual support.
Neither Chalamet nor Jenner has addressed marriage rumors directly, but their public trajectory—from quiet dates to red carpet debuts—indicates a deepening commitment. Fans and media alike continue to follow their story, which blends Hollywood glamour with reality TV intrigue. For now, the tropical escape serves as a vivid reminder of the couple's enduring spark.
The Appleton Times reached out to representatives for both Chalamet and Jenner for comment but did not receive an immediate response. As details emerge, the pair's blend of discretion and visibility keeps their romance a compelling narrative in entertainment circles.
