When it comes to relationships in Hollywood, few have garnered as much attention as Kylie Jenner’s romance with Timothée Chalamet. While the couple has kept their relationship relatively private, insiders are now revealing that the Call Me by Your Name star isn’t exactly a fan of Kylie’s famous family—particularly the Kardashians. Despite the whirlwind romance between Kylie and Timothée, sources say that Timothée is far from comfortable around the Kardashian-Jenner clan, and his lack of enthusiasm for getting involved with her family is causing some tension behind the scenes.
Timothée’s Reluctance to Join the Kardashian World
While Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have made headlines for their low-key relationship, there’s no denying that they both come from completely different worlds. Kylie, a reality TV star turned beauty mogul, and Timothée, an acclaimed actor known for his indie roles, have had very different public lives. Kylie is part of one of the most famous families in the world, with her every move scrutinized by the media, while Timothée has largely maintained a more private, low-profile life. And it seems like Timothée is doing everything he can to keep it that way—especially when it comes to Kylie’s family.
Sources close to the couple say that Timothée is “uncomfortable” with the Kardashian-Jenner family dynamic and that he’s not eager to get too close to them. While Kylie and Timothée have been spotted together at a few events, including the Golden Globes, and have shared some private moments, Timothée’s reluctance to engage with her family has raised eyebrows. According to one insider, Timothée has made it clear that he “can’t stand” the Kardashian way of life and would rather avoid getting involved in their public drama.
Kylie’s Family Doesn’t Approve of Timothée
Kylie’s family has noticed Timothée’s hesitance, and it’s starting to cause friction. Sources say that her sisters—Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney—are skeptical of the relationship and have raised concerns about Timothée’s lack of effort to bond with them. “He’s just not interested in getting to know them,” one insider said. “He’s shown up to a few family events, but it always feels forced. He spends most of his time talking to Kylie and ignoring everyone else.” This has apparently rubbed her family the wrong way, with some of her sisters feeling that Timothée is “too good for them” or doesn’t respect their family dynamics.
It’s not hard to understand why Timothée might feel this way. The Kardashians are known for their fame, drama, and constant media presence, and for someone like Timothée, who values his privacy, it could feel overwhelming. Sources claim that Timothée doesn’t want to be just another Kardashian “hanger-on,” someone who gets dragged into their reality TV circus. Instead, he’s more focused on his own career and keeping his personal life as private as possible—something that doesn’t exactly mesh well with the Kardashians’ penchant for public exposure.
Kylie’s Attempts to Keep Timothée Away from the Drama
Despite the tension, Kylie has reportedly done everything she can to keep her family from getting too involved in her relationship with Timothée. According to insiders, Kylie has told her family to “stay out of her business” and has even gone so far as to keep Timothée away from the more public family events. She’s aware of the drama that follows her family and doesn’t want to drag Timothée into it, especially considering the history of the Kardashian men often becoming targets of media scrutiny once they get involved with the family.
Kylie has also reportedly told her family that the best way to protect her relationship with Timothée is to keep it as private as possible. “The less they know, the better,” a source explained. “She doesn’t want her family’s drama affecting her love life, and she’s doing everything she can to keep it that way.”
Timothée’s Growing Disinterest in the Kardashians
While Kylie seems intent on keeping things low-key with Timothée, it’s clear that his disinterest in her family is growing. Recently, Timothée was spotted at a family gathering, but he reportedly spent most of the time standing off to the side, not engaging with anyone except Kylie. This lack of effort is reportedly frustrating her sisters, who feel that if Timothée were truly serious about Kylie, he would make more of an effort to connect with them.
In fact, some insiders believe that Timothée might even be trying to distance himself from the Kardashian-Jenner clan altogether. “He’s very much his own person,” one source said. “He’s not someone who’s looking to get sucked into the Kardashian orbit. He’s here for Kylie, but he doesn’t want to be part of their world.”
What Does This Mean for Kylie and Timothée’s Future?
As their relationship continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Timothée’s dislike for Kylie’s family will cause a major rift between the couple. Kylie, who’s used to the Kardashian family drama, may be able to balance her love life with her family’s expectations. But it’s clear that Timothée, as someone who values his privacy, might be finding it more difficult to navigate the complex world of the Kardashians.
For now, Kylie and Timothée are still going strong, with Kylie reportedly feeling more in love than ever. However, if Timothée’s reluctance to get closer to the Kardashians continues, it could put a strain on the relationship. Kylie’s family may not be impressed with Timothée’s lack of effort, but if Kylie is determined to make it work, she’ll likely continue to protect her relationship by keeping it as private as possible.
In the world of the Kardashians, where everyone’s business is everyone else’s, it seems Timothée might be the first to put up real boundaries—and that might just be the key to making his relationship with Kylie work.
