Timothee Chalamet made this major life change after friends warned him about Kylie Jenner
He'd risk it all for Kylie
Timothee Chalamet decided to make a huge life change after meeting Kylie Jenner. He listened to the worried opinions of his close-knit friendship group, who were fearful about him dating one of The Kardashians. For a while, Timothee and Kylie’s relationship was kept under wraps, but the celebrity couple are no longer making an effort to keep their love private.
Timothee Chalamet was warned about Kylie Jenner
Timothee has been warned about Kylie since they started dating at Paris Fashion Week two years ago. His friends reportedly don’t like Kylie, and haven’t done since they started seeing each other in late 2023. Since then though, Timothee has made a huge life change to prove he’s prioritizing Kylie, yet doesn’t feel super comfortable with their relationship being public.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Some of Timothée’s pals didn’t think it was smart to get involved with the Kardashian clan. They sat him down and expressed their fears that despite his many awards and nominations, the industry wouldn’t take him seriously if he was linked to Kylie. He knew from the beginning that it wasn’t just a fling with Kylie. He not only decided not to listen to his friends, but to also cut ties.”
It makes sense, because Timothee and Kylie bonded over mutual friends, a shared taste in music and their “goofy” personalities. He’s even become close to Kylie’s family, with him being spotted at the annual Kardashian-Jenner Christmas party, which was a small affair held at Kendall Jenner‘s home at the end of 2024.
People worry he’s Kylie’s ‘black cat’ in viral trend

For a few months, people have been concerned that Kylie is using Timothee as an accessory. The viral trend, black cat theory, is a concept that originated on TikTok as a way to describe a particular type of girlfriend (or partner) who embodies the personality traits often associated with a stereotypical black cat. They are typically introverted and mysterious, like Timothee, while their golden retriever partners are extroverted.
For instance, they’re independent, mysterious, slightly aloof, and perhaps a bit intimidating, which is a bit like how black cats are often perceived. People say that Kylie and Jenner fit the black cat relationship, with her as the boyfriend’s usual role. Kylie was described as “needy and desperate for his approval” in their recent behavior at a tennis match.
The woman who started the black cat theory said that their relationship started with Kylie “as the prize” but that the dynamics have changed. TikTokker Anna Krstna said, “I truly think these two are actually very good for each other. She broke her pattern of red flag guys she used to date in the past. He lets her shine which made her more feminine. She seems happier and more confident.”
