Kylie Jenner Happy Letting Her Boyfriend Take the Spotlight

Kylie Jenner is proving that she knows when it’s time to let someone else shine. Despite growing up in the spotlight on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” and currently Hulu’s “The Kardashians,” Jenner has once again skipped the red carpet to ensure all eyes were on her man, Timothée Chalamet.

Timothée Chalamet Posed on the Red Carpet Solo

Chalamet arrived at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival to receive the Arlington Artist of the Year award in a buttoned-down yellow and lime green shirt and baggy jeans. After flashing a peace sign on the red carpet, he met Jenner inside, who contrasted his look with a plunging black dress she modeled on Instagram. To fans of the couple, it’s no longer surprising to see Jenner hanging back at events that honor Chalamet.

“She enjoys attending the events with him,” a source acknowledged to PEOPLE about the extremely private couple. “She knows that his career is so important to him. She wants to be by his side for it all.” Despite the darkened room, the makeup and fashion mogul could be seen sitting next to Chalamet, intently watching his career introspective displayed on the screen.

Despite Dating Since 2023, the Couple Have Yet to Make Their Red Carpet Debut

Jenner has shown her support for her man many times since the two first sparked dating rumors when TMZ first reported that Chalamet was seen leaving her house in April 2023. Just seven months later, the entertainment outlet posted photos showing her arriving at the Saturday Night Live afterparty to help him celebrate his first hosting gig. Soon, she was sneaking into his film premieres, like Dune and Wonka, and appearing at numerous after-parties by his side. She attended both the 2024 and 2025 Golden Globes with Chalamet, meeting him inside the event both times. The couple are generally silent when it comes to discussing the other in interviews, with Jenner admitting to The New York Times “I just don’t want to talk about private things.”

Despite not gushing about each other in public, it’s obvious that they’re crazy about each other and fully supportive of each other’s endeavors, with Chalamet also showing Jenner support when she received an Innovator award at the WSJ. Magazine’s 2023 event. Whether the smitten couple ever make their red carpet debut is just a minor detail.
