Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner have officially made their red carpet debut as a couple, marking a significant milestone in their two-year romance. The couple stepped out together at the 70th David di Donatello Awards in Rome, Italy, on May 7, 2025, showcasing their love and style as they walked the red carpet hand in hand.
Chalamet, 29, was honored with the prestigious David for Cinematic Excellence, a recognition that highlights his talent and contributions to the film industry. Piera Detassis, President and Artistic Director of the Academy of Italian Cinema, praised him, stating, “The Academy is delighted to award him the David for Cinematic Excellence, which is meant to be an acknowledgement of the great actor of quality and innovative films, and, at the same time, of the global protagonist.” Detassis noted that Chalamet’s rise to fame was significantly bolstered by his role in the Italian film Call Me by Your Name, directed by Luca Guadagnino.
For their red carpet appearance, Jenner, 27, dazzled in a stunning floor-length, figure-hugging black gown by Schiaparelli. The gown featured a criss-crossing open back, and she accessorized with surrealist gold earrings and a gold-embellished black clutch. Chalamet complemented her look in an all-black velvet double-breasted suit, complete with a white rose corsage pinned to his lapel. The couple's coordinated outfits and their evident affection for each other—Chalamet wrapping his arm around Jenner’s waist and the two holding hands—captured the attention of photographers and fans alike.
This public appearance came just days after Jenner attended the 2025 Met Gala solo, while Chalamet opted to watch the New York Knicks play the Boston Celtics instead. Despite not being together at the Met Gala, Jenner showed her support for Chalamet at the Oscars in March, where he was nominated for Best Actor for his role in A Complete Unknown. Although they did not walk the red carpet together at that event, they were seen sharing moments of affection inside the ceremony, further fueling speculation about their relationship.
Rumors of their romance began in April 2023, and since then, the couple has been spotted together at various events, including Coachella and the Miami Grand Prix earlier this month. Their relationship has been described as fun and exciting, with a source revealing, “It’s been really fun for her because it feels a lot different than her past relationships. It’s new and exciting for Kylie, and she’s having a lot of fun.”
In a recent interview, Chalamet humorously addressed the challenges of maintaining privacy in their high-profile relationship, referencing a recent episode of South Park that parodied public figures seeking privacy. “Sometimes, people are going to be hella confused when you say you're trying to live a private life,” he remarked.
The couple’s love story has been characterized by a blend of public appearances and private moments. Jenner shares two children, Stormi, age 7, and Aire, age 3, with her ex-partner Travis Scott, and Chalamet’s relationship with her family has reportedly been positive. In an interview, Chalamet’s mother, Nicole Flender, expressed her admiration for Jenner, stating, “I have to say she’s lovely. She’s very nice to me.”
While the couple has enjoyed their time together, they have also been clear about their desire for privacy. They have made it a point to balance their public appearances with low-key outings, allowing them to enjoy their relationship without the constant glare of the spotlight.
As they continue to navigate their relationship in the public eye, Chalamet and Jenner’s recent red carpet appearance at the David di Donatello Awards signifies a new chapter in their romance. Their coordinated looks and affectionate gestures showcased their bond, leaving fans and onlookers excited for what’s to come.
With their love story unfolding in front of the world, one thing is certain: Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner are a couple to watch.
