LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kylie Jenner is reportedly growing increasingly anxious over her mother Kris Jenner’s relentless efforts to bring her A-list boyfriend, Timothee Chalamet, into the Kardashian-Jenner empire.

According to sources close to the family, Kris is determined to get the Oscar-nominated actor to make an appearance on 'The Kardashians', hoping his star power will inject new life into the show.

However, Kylie is vehemently opposed to the idea and fears it could backfire both on their romance and Chalamet’s career.

After keeping their relationship lowkey for nearly two years, Kylie Jenner, 27, and Timothee Chalamet, 29, have recently stepped into the spotlight, attending recent events like the Golden Globes and BAFTAs, and enjoying a Paris getaway. Now that they have gone public, Kris sees an opportunity to capitalize on the buzz.

"Now that they’re comfortable being seen together as an established couple, Kris is eager to leverage this romance to its fullest, " an insider revealed. "This relationship is a game-changer for Kylie’s public image," they added.

The source added, "But being the savvy businesswoman she is, Kris envisions using it to enhance the family brand even more. Kris sees Timothee as the golden ticket and now she's got her sights set on him to help boost her brand she'll be utterly determined to land her daughter's man for the show."

With 'The Kardashians' reportedly struggling to maintain its once-dominant grip on audiences, Kris Jenner sees Timothee Chalamet as a game-changer. But Kylie Jenner, who has watched her sisters' love lives crumble under the intense scrutiny of reality TV, is standing her ground.

"She finds the idea completely unappealing, she’s genuinely alarmed by it," the insider explained. "Kylie is head over heels for Timothee and has no intention of jeopardizing their special bond. She is on red light about her mom's plans," they added.

Having witnessed how her sisters’ relationships have suffered because of the exposure, Kylie refuses to risk that for herself.

While Chalamet remains tight-lipped about any involvement with the show, sources say he has no interest in being pulled into the Kardashian machine. Having already faced criticism and scrutiny for dating Kylie, the 'Dune' star is unlikely to entertain the idea of stepping in front of reality TV cameras.

"Given the scrutiny he's already faced simply for dating her, adding more pressure could be damaging. She’s resolute about this and has made it clear to Kris that she needs to back off, otherwise, she risks being shut out of Kylie’s life entirely," the source concluded.
