Timothee Chalamet’s Behavior in New Video With Kylie Jenner Sparks Strong Reaction
Just over a week ago Timothee Chalamet competed for best actor at the Oscars where he attempted to dethrone Adrien Brody’s long-standing record as the youngest winner of the award.
Nominated for his role as the legendary musician Bob Dylan in the biopic “A Complete Unknown” from director James Mangold, Chalamet ultimately fell to Brody (“The Brutalist”), along with fellow nominees for best actor Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave), Sebastian Stan (“The Apprentice”) and Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”).
Fast forward a week and Chalamet was enjoying a different competition – instead of being in one. He and girlfriend Kylie Jenner stepped out at the BNP Paribas Indian Wells Open in Indian Wells, Calif., on Sunday, March 9.
Jenner, 27, rocked a red printed crop top look with black shades and Chalamet, 29, sported a casual striped button-down shirt with pleather pants.A video of the couple enjoying the match hit social media and showed Jenner planting a kiss on the young actor, later reaching a hand in his shirt as they laughed.
Chalamet was locked onto the match, as France’s Ugo Humbert squared off against Denmark’s Holger Rune, who went on to win the match, 5-7, 6-4, 7-5.
The video quickly made the rounds on social media, with fans from across the sport weighing in. Some aren’t too fond of the union, which they described as “forced” while others love their relationship.
“The way Timmy is still keeping an eye on the match,” one person said.
“body language so off omg may this never find me,” offered another.
“Why am I obsessed with them,” added a third.
“That looks forced for a camera she’s looking at,” claimed another.
After keeping their relationship mostly under wraps since rumors placed them together in 2023, they’ve made two very public appearances together in the past week.

Celebrity sightings continue in Indian Wells as Timothee Chalamet, Kylie Jenner take in tennis
There’s the old joke that tennis is the least romantic sport because love means nothing, but someone needs to tell that to young Hollywood.
A celebrity sighting at the BNP Paribas Open isn’t rare, but for the second straight year a young couple has significantly increased the star wattage of the celebrity sightings and decreased the age.
During Sunday afternoon’s action, actor Timothee Chalamet and beau Kylie Jenner were spotted in a suite, canoodling and watching some tennis. Jenner’s sister, Kendall, was in the box too as the Jenner-Kardashian family does own a home in the area. This comes two months after Chalamet was in town for the Palm Springs International Film Festival, receiving an award at the red carpet gala with Jenner on his arm backstage.
And all this comes a year after young actorly couple Zendaya and Tom Holland were spotted in Indian Wells, chilling in a suite and watching some tennis and even taking time to autograph some hats and tennis balls that were thrown to them. Zendaya, who linked up with champion Iga Swiatek for a few pointers later in the day, was there to promote her tennis-based film “Challengers” which was a big hit in 2024.
You can count on reliable celebrities at the BNP Paribas Open every year like Ben Stiller, Charlize Theron Will Ferrell, Mike Tyson and Bill Gates, but these past two years have shown that even the 20-something set is tuned into tennis. Perhaps the sport is having a coolness rebirth.
Zendaya and Tom in 2024. Timothee and Kylie in 2025. I guess the tennis ball’s in your court for 2026 Taylor and Travis. We’ll see you in tennis paradise.
