Timothee Chalamet deftly ‘dodging’ Kylie Jenner question amid pregnancy rumors divides Internet

PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA: Actor Timothee Chalamet sparked social media buzz when he expertly dodged a question related to his girlfriend Kylie Jenner during the Palm Springs International Film Awards on Friday, January 3.

The two initially fuelled dating rumors in April 2023, soon after Jenner and Travis Scott, the father of her two children, parted ways. The former couple co-parent their son Aire, 2, and daughter Stormi, 6.

Timothee Chalamet expertly avoids Kylie Jenner question

The 29-year-old actor—who was praised for playing Bob Dylan in the recently released biopic 'A Complete Unknown'—expertly sidestepped answering a question regarding his famous romance with 'The Kardashians' star.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the PSIFF, the 'Dune' star was questioned about the Kylie Cosmetics creator and her presence as his support system. He immediately sidestepped the subject by focusing on friends and peers.

"I know you also brought your partner-in-crime Kylie here too. What's it like to her supporting you on a night like this?" the interviewer asked.

To which, the 'Dune' star replied, "It's a great feeling to be in a room with so much love and so many great peers, and people that are fantastic," dismissing the topic of his lady love.

"I like seeing the new wave and the new generation here. I also like seeing everyone who's been holding it down [for] decades plus," he added, per Daily Mail.

This followed rumors that Jenner is expecting a baby. Astute viewers noticed Jenner attempting to cover her stomach in a recent video featuring Stormi and niece Chicago West, which sparked further rumors.

The mother-of-two and the four-time Golden Globe winner have managed to keep their romance under wraps since they were initially linked in early 2023.

The couple attended the 2023 US Open together and even graced the 2024 Golden Globes.

A few weeks ago, an insider close to the A-list pair revealed that their love is "stronger than ever" and that they are getting closer.

"Kylie and Timothee are constantly in communication even when they're apart," the source told the outlet. "Their relationship is stronger than ever, and they deeply care for one another," they added.

The source also said that the couple has "a very close connection and love each other very much".

Timothee Chalamet dodging Kylie Jenner question at film festival divides fans

Fans were left divided on whether Timothee Chalamet's decision to skip mentioning beauty mogul Kylie Jenner's name was a purposeful boundary-setting or a covert snub.

One fan wrote, "I love how interviews keep trying to ask Kylie and Timothée about each other, looking for tea, and they pay those questions absolute dust. They said 'STAY out they business!'"

Another suggested that the 'Dune' star dodged the Kar-Jenner-related topic in order to avoid creating a stir, possibly due to his extensive PR training.

"PR training come through! As he should, one question opens the gate to more, that's none of their business tbh," commented one.

Another commented under the TikTok video, "Im cryingggg [four loudly crying face emojis] the way he dodged it," per The Mirror.

"It’s so awkward when interviewers do this. He’s not there to talk about that," chimed in one.

"I respect him dodging these questions it’s obvious they’d like to keep their relationship pretty private also not to overshadow the work he’s doing," remarked one.

Another astute fan said, "He was holding back his smile when he mentioned her name. He loves that s**t."

Some viewers, however, were perplexed as to why Chalamet remained silent about Jenner when it was already widely known that they were dating.

"I would be so upset if my boyfriend refused to acknowledge me or be seen with me," said one fan.

Another commented, "I may not be rich, but at least I date men who aren't ashamed to admit they co exist in the same galaxy as me."

One user explained, "They can’t win either way. If they talk about the relationship then ppl will say it’s just a PR relationship. If they’re private then he’s ashamed of her. Obviously whatever dynamics they have has been working so far. They’ve lasted for almost two years. I swear people get so f***ing weird about this relationship."
