While the aforementioned article contains photographs of actor Timothee Chalamet on the streets of Tribeca, he was not leaving Kylie Jenner's house. In actuality, the source does not know where Chalamet was coming from or where he was headed next. The article mentions a rumored relationship with Jenner, but the sources provided are labeled as inside sources and not from either party directly.

Other instances have fueled rumors about this romance as well. According to an article published by TMZ, Kylie Jenner's black Range Rover was seen parked in front of Chalamet's house on Thursday, April 13th.

While the two celebrities may have had previous interactions, this does not mean the two are in a romantic relationship. It is possible that Jenner and Chalamet are in a platonic relationship and may partake in the occasional conversation.

Celebrities are constantly rumored to be dating other celebrities, and often these rumors are nothing more than just that - a rumor. While multiple articles may be claiming Jenner and Chalamet are in a relationship, readers must conduct additional research before making conclusions, and prioritize information for a direct source (i.e. Jenner or Chalamet in this particular situation).

Pop-culture news sources come out with statements about two A-lister celebrities dating every month, and it can be hard to keep up. This month's couple is Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. This news was first exposed by seemingly “credible” (according to supporters) celebrity gossip Instagram account, Deux Moi. Deux Moi exposed that a close source to Kylie stated that she and French actor, Timothée, have been seeing each other for a while, and are getting close. This story was then quickly picked up by celebrity gossip journalists like People magazine and Teen Vogue. US Magazine released an article that provided the most information about the two, stating that an “insider” is giving all the information about them to news sources. Here is the article:

In regards to the article included, Timothée is known to be awkward and shy in general, so connecting that to the relationship speculations with Kylie does not work. 

In my opinion, this is a Public Relations stunt if anything. ​​Right after news broke out, content of Timothée filming a commercial with Martin Scorsese in New York started to be released. He is also walking on the streets of New York City getting pictures with fans and paparazzi pictures. I think the increasing amount of name recognition and public sightings is to promote future events for Timothée, like the upcoming Wonka film released in 2023. Although, who knows, maybe the insider source does know something about them that we don’t.

Right now it is simply a rumor that they are dating. While anonymous "inside sources" have claimed that the rumors are true, there is still no solid proof that the two are dating. Pop culture sources have fueled rumors with their "inside sources" even going as far as to claim that his car was seen at her house. All of these are speculative and can't be proven true as of the moment. Even if the two are seen together it doesn't necessarily mean that they are dating. So as of the moment it's just a rumor but there's no telling what will happen or be revealed with the pair in the future.
