Timothee Chalamet has stolen Kylie Jenner’s heart and maybe even her girlfriends, insiders spill the tea

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kylie Jenner has become noticeably distant from her social circle, focusing most of her attention on her boyfriend, Timothee Chalamet, claim insiders.

Since their relationship first made headlines in April 2023, Jenner and Chalamet have kept their romance largely under wraps.

Insiders said Kylie Jenner has been gradually distancing herself from her broader social circle, adopting a "homebody" lifestyle similar to that of her reclusive older brother, Rob Kardashian.

According to a source, "Kylie is turning into her brother Rob – she is choosing to be a homebody for the most part. For Kylie, it is her family, her kids and then obviously she is all in on hanging out with Timothee."

The source adds that Jenner has lost interest in maintaining industry relationships, stating, "Time for going out and doing the Hollywood friendship thing is long past her. She is 27 going on 70. What suits her now is being out there when she needs to be, not because she wants to be. She is so busy with her relationship and being a mom and a businesswoman."

The insider continues, "She doesn't miss her times in the Hollywood shuffle and her desire to have friends outside her bubble isn't anything she is interested in right now."

A second source notes that Kylie’s only remaining close friend is Anastasia 'Stassie' Karanikolaou.

The insider explained, "Kylie has become incredibly detached and pretty much only has one close girlfriend right now - Stassie. She is her ride or die and the two of them confide in each other for everything."

"They've been friends since they were in middle school and grew up learning how to adapt to fame together. Stassie knows that most people do not know who she is and she doesn't care," the insider continued.

Further the source noted, "She is the only person that Kylie turns to and the only person that has had her back no matter what and not burned her."

Despite Kylie’s focus on Timothee, she reportedly spends significant time with Stassie, "Kylie has shut out all her other friends. She is with Timothee as much as possible but spends more time with Stassie than him even. Along with Stassie, Kylie is usually seen spending time with friends such as Yris Palmer, Victoria and Sofia Villarroel and Harry Hudson - as well as her famous siblings," source wrote. 

However, Kylie’s inner circle has evolved significantly over the years due to scandals, accusations, and feuds.

Kylie Jenner considers Anastasia 'Stassie' Karanikolaou her 'sister'

Earlier this month, Kylie Jenner marked her 27th birthday with a private celebration in the Bahamas, exclusively with boyfriend Timothee Chalamet, best friend Stassie Karanikolaou, and a few select guests. This event underscored the recent shift in how she engages with her social circle.

Anastasia 'Stassie' Karanikolaou, known for being one of Kylie’s closest friends, has been in her life since they were pre-teens. In a July 2023 episode of 'The Kardashians', Kylie shared, “Anastasia and I have been friends since we were probably 12 or 13. She's definitely my oldest friend. We grew up together, we've been through so much together. She's like a sister.”

Stassie echoed this sentiment, adding, “We know too much about each other. We're stuck with each other forever. Literally, we're going to move to a farm together and get married.”

Despite their close bond, romance rumors have occasionally surfaced due to their affectionate displays. Kylie addressed these rumors, noting to her sister, “The whole internet thinks Stass and I are dating now [because we always make out]... A lot of best girlfriends do that.”

Although Stassie is one of Kylie’s longest-standing friends, some view her as a replacement for Jordyn Woods following their infamous fallout. Kylie and Stassie have frequently shared photos in matching outfits or cozy poses, and even have matching tattoos. Stassie often joins Kylie on lavish trips.

Kylie Jenner's close bond with other friends

Victoria Villarroel, who first met Kylie Jenner while working for Kris Jenner’s company, became Kylie’s personal assistant from 2015 to 2020. Victoria described their early working relationship as smaller and less chaotic compared to Kylie’s current scale. Even after leaving her assistant role, Victoria remains one of Kylie’s closest friends.

Victoria clarified in an Instagram Story that their professional separation did not affect their personal bond, stating, “I worked with Kylie for 5 years and she became one of my closest friends. We both decided it was time to grow without each other professionally about a year ago!”

Victoria’s sister, Sophia Villarroel, is also a part of Kylie’s circle, frequently seen with Kylie and her friends during outings and vacations, as per DailyMail.

Kylie’s friendship with Jordyn Woods, which began in 2012 through mutual friend Jaden Smith, was once very close. Woods frequently appeared on 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' and was welcomed into the Kardashian-Jenner family, attending events like Kris Jenner’s Christmas parties and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding in Italy.

However, their friendship faced a major setback in February 2019 after Woods was involved in a kissing scandal with Khloe Kardashian’s then-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson. This led Kylie to distance herself from Woods, though they were occasionally seen being friendly at social events. Kylie reflected on the situation, saying it was necessary for her personal growth.

Kylie met Heather Sanders at Kendall Jenner’s 16th birthday party in 2011, and their friendship deepened when they were both pregnant at the same time. Heather shared a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating their shared experience of pregnancy and Kylie’s role as a supportive friend.

After Jordyn Woods’ scandal, Kylie reportedly leaned on Heather for support.

Sofia Richie first became close with Kylie and Kendall Jenner in 2012. The trio often appeared together in social media posts and at events. However, their relationship strained when Sofia began dating Scott Disick in 2017, Kourtney Kardashian’s ex.

Although Kylie and Sofia’s friendship appeared to suffer, they seemed to reconcile by 2019, with Sofia supporting Kylie during the Jordyn fallout.

Sofia ended her relationship with Scott in 2020 and married Elliot Grainge in 2022, but none of the Kardashian-Jenner family attended the wedding.

After discovering that Kylie Jenner is focusing exclusively on her boyfriend Timothee Chalamet, fans expressed mixed reactions. Some have voiced their support for her choice, while others have criticized it as a significan mistake.

One user wrote, "Good for her- She has her own life & she has every right to spend it how she likes."

The second claimed, "So she has children, a home she likes to hang out in, and a partner she likes to hang out with. Sounds pretty normal to me."

The third user said, "Good. I think they’re an adorable couple and I hope they treat each other sweetly."

"Big mistake!!!! isolating from family and friends for someone who could walk away at any time." The other slammed. 

The last added, "Maybe it’s a good idea she separate from that crazy family.  It’s only a matter of time until that whole family has a melt down!"
