Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet Are Deeply in Love — But Here’s Why They’re Not Rushing Toward an Engagement

After more than three years together, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet appear to be stronger than ever — but that does not mean wedding bells are about to ring.

The 28-year-old Kylie Cosmetics founder and the 30-year-old Marty Supreme star have built one of Hollywood’s most closely watched relationships since they first became romantically linked in 2023. Despite their increasingly public appearances and the growing seriousness of their romance, a source says the couple has no intention of putting pressure on themselves to take the next major step.

According to a source who spoke to PEOPLE, Jenner and Chalamet are happy with exactly where their relationship stands.

“Kylie and Timmy are very much in love,” the source said. “They don’t have plans to rush an engagement. They love how their relationship is.”

That approach appears to define the couple’s relationship.

Instead of following a traditional timeline or allowing outside speculation to dictate their future, Jenner and Chalamet are reportedly letting things develop naturally.

And over the past year, their relationship has become increasingly visible.

In 2026 alone, the couple has attended several major events together, demonstrating a level of comfort in the spotlight that they largely avoided during the earliest stages of their romance.

They appeared together at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards and later attended the Oscars, where their affectionate behavior once again attracted attention.

Their relationship has not been limited to Hollywood award ceremonies.

Jenner and Chalamet have also been spotted together at major sporting events, including the 2026 NBA Finals and the 2026 World Cup Final, where the pair were seen sharing a kiss.

Those appearances have only strengthened the impression that the relationship has moved far beyond the casual dating stage.

Still, neither appears interested in turning that stability into an immediate engagement.

The couple has also been enjoying private time together away from major public events.

According to the latest source, Jenner and Chalamet recently went on what was described as a “double vacation” with Jenner’s sister Kendall Jenner and her boyfriend, actor Jacob Elordi.

The four reportedly spent time together in Malibu for a relaxed “staycation.”

For Kylie and Timothée, these quieter experiences seem to be just as important as the glamorous appearances that attract international headlines.

They also reflect what sources close to the couple have consistently said about their relationship: the two are comfortable together, enjoy each other’s company and have successfully created a romance that works despite their demanding careers.

In late June, another source told PEOPLE that Jenner and Chalamet were “in a great place.”

According to that insider, the pair share an easy chemistry and have also received strong support from the people closest to them.

“They both are in a great place, make each other laugh and friends and family love them together,” the source said.

The insider also described how Chalamet has become a calming presence in Jenner’s life.

“Kylie is so relaxed with him, he puts her at ease and she makes him feel so secure,” the source explained.

Friends reportedly believe the relationship has the potential to last for years.

However, even those closest to the couple do not expect them to accelerate the relationship simply because they have been together for several years.

“Friends can see them in it for the long haul, but they aren’t rushing anything,” the source said.

Their romance began quietly in early 2023.

Jenner and Chalamet were first seen interacting in January of that year during Jean Paul Gaultier’s show at Paris Fashion Week.

At the time, there was no confirmation of a relationship, but their interaction eventually became the starting point for months of speculation.

By April 2023, a source confirmed that the two were spending time together and “getting to know each other.”

The relationship remained largely private through the following months.

Then, in September 2023, Jenner and Chalamet made their first major public appearance as a couple during Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour concert in Los Angeles.

The two were photographed kissing and openly showing affection, effectively confirming what had previously been the subject of speculation.

A source described the relationship at the time as “fun and uncomplicated” for Jenner.

Chalamet’s personality was reportedly one of the qualities that immediately appealed to her.

“He is charming, very loving and protective of Kylie,” the source said. “She likes that he is a private guy.”

That privacy has remained an important part of their relationship.

Although both are among the most recognizable celebrities of their generation, neither has chosen to constantly discuss the romance publicly.

They have appeared together at events and have been photographed showing affection, but they generally avoid giving detailed interviews about each other.

For Jenner, who grew up with much of her personal life documented through reality television and social media, that discretion may have been particularly valuable.

As their relationship continued through 2024, sources began describing it in increasingly serious terms.

By August 2024, an insider told PEOPLE that Jenner had “never been in love like this before.”

The source said she was “incredibly happy” with Chalamet and praised the actor for the way he treated her.

“He’s great for her,” the insider said. “He’s so discreet and always has her back. He’s very much a gentleman and everything that Kylie deserves.”

Another important part of Jenner’s life is her role as a mother.

She shares two children with former partner Travis Scott: daughter Stormi, now 8, and son Aire, 4.

Balancing motherhood with a demanding business empire and a high-profile relationship could easily create complications. Yet those close to Jenner have repeatedly suggested that Chalamet fits naturally into her life rather than adding additional pressure.

Their relationship reached another milestone in May 2025.

After nearly two years together, Jenner and Chalamet officially made their red-carpet debut as a couple at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome.

The appearance represented a noticeable change from the extreme privacy that characterized the beginning of their romance.

Since then, they have continued appearing together at increasingly high-profile events.

Yet their schedules can still keep them apart.

Chalamet’s acting career frequently requires extended filming periods and international travel, while Jenner’s business commitments and responsibilities as a mother keep her equally busy.

As a result, the two occasionally have to navigate a long-distance relationship.

Despite those challenges, their romance has continued to grow.

Perhaps that is also why the couple has little interest in forcing an engagement simply to satisfy expectations.

After years together, they have already experienced different phases of their relationship — from secretive early meetings and concert dates to red carpets, international travel, sporting events and time with family.

For Jenner and Chalamet, the next step appears to be less about reaching a particular milestone and more about protecting what already works.

They may be deeply in love, according to those close to them.

They may even see a long-term future together.

But right now, an engagement is not something they feel the need to rush.

In a celebrity world where relationships are often judged by how quickly they reach the next headline-making milestone, Jenner and Chalamet seem comfortable choosing a different path.

Three years into their romance, they appear to have found something they value more than a timeline: a relationship that works on their own terms.
