Timothée Chalamet Shuts Down Questions About Kylie Jenner, Saying He “Doesn’t Have Anything to Say” — Inside His Rare Response to Their Private Relationship
Timothée Chalamet has always carried an air of quiet mystery, but when it comes to Kylie Jenner, his silence is deafening — and intentional. In a new interview, the 29-year-old Oscar-nominated actor was asked directly about his relationship with the 28-year-old beauty mogul, and his response was short, sharp, and telling: “I don’t have anything to say.”
The remark came during a recent Vogue feature that focused primarily on Chalamet’s upcoming projects and his artistic process. But when the interviewer pivoted to the topic that has fascinated fans and fueled headlines since 2023 — his relationship with Jenner — Chalamet made it clear that some parts of his life are not open for discussion. “I understand the interest,” he said, according to the publication, “but there’s nothing I want to add.”
It was the kind of moment that speaks volumes. In an era where celebrities often use social media to control their own narratives, Chalamet’s refusal to share anything about his personal life was both rare and deliberate. His relationship with Kylie Jenner — one of the most public figures on the planet — has sparked nonstop curiosity since the two were first linked in the spring of 2023. From secret sightings in Los Angeles to their long-awaited red carpet debut in Rome earlier this year, every public moment has been dissected and discussed.
The pair’s first major appearance together came at the 70th David di Donatello Awards in May 2025, where they arrived hand in hand. Chalamet was being honored with a special award for cinematic excellence, but the night quickly became about the couple’s chemistry. Jenner wore a sleek black gown with gold accessories, while Chalamet kept his look classic in a double-breasted velvet suit with a white boutonnière. Their body language was affectionate but poised — intimate enough to confirm the rumors, restrained enough to keep the public guessing.
That balance has defined their relationship ever since. While Jenner occasionally appears in paparazzi shots entering Chalamet’s New York apartment or supporting him at film events, the two have avoided making their romance part of their brands. Unlike Jenner’s previous high-profile relationships, which often unfolded under social media scrutiny, this one has remained largely offline. Neither has posted a single photo of the other. For fans accustomed to oversharing from celebrities, the privacy feels almost old-fashioned.
When asked by Vogue if his silence was an attempt to shield their relationship from the media storm, Chalamet clarified, “It’s not about hiding anything. It’s about protecting something.” His words echoed what Jenner herself told Elle earlier this year, saying that “privacy is peace” and that she had learned to draw stronger boundaries around her personal life as she got older.
Their shared desire for discretion may be what’s kept them steady in a world that thrives on spectacle. Still, that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating about everything from their living arrangements to whether they’re planning a future together. “Kylie and Timothée are doing things their own way,” a source told People earlier this summer. “They both respect each other’s careers and need for independence. That’s what makes it work.”
Indeed, their respective worlds could hardly be more different. Jenner, founder of Kylie Cosmetics, has spent her adult life navigating the spotlight that comes with being part of the Kardashian-Jenner empire. Chalamet, by contrast, built his reputation through selective film roles, from Call Me By Your Name to Dune and Wonka. Their pairing, at first, seemed improbable — the reality TV star and the indie darling. But for both, it appears to be a case of opposites attracting in the best possible way.
Chalamet has long been protective of his private life. Even at the height of his fame following Call Me By Your Name, he rarely discussed his relationships publicly. His past romances with Lily-Rose Depp and Eiza González were similarly kept quiet. But Kylie Jenner represents a different level of public curiosity, and his choice to stay silent seems to be his way of maintaining control over his narrative.
In the same Vogue profile, Chalamet spoke candidly about the pressures of fame. “You can’t control what people say,” he said. “But you can control what you give them to talk about.” It’s a sentiment that mirrors his approach to acting — deeply considered, carefully chosen, and rarely impulsive. For Chalamet, mystery isn’t an accident. It’s a boundary.
Still, fans have noticed that Jenner’s presence in his life has softened him in small ways. Those close to the actor say she brings balance to his intense creative energy. “Kylie is more grounded than people think,” one insider told Entertainment Tonight. “She makes him laugh, and he gives her space to be herself outside the spotlight.”
In September, the couple was spotted sitting courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers game, sharing quiet moments and subtle smiles that instantly went viral. Days later, they were seen attending the New York Film Festival together. But even then, they avoided public statements. To those who’ve followed their journey, it’s clear that their silence is not an absence of emotion — it’s a choice to keep something sacred.
Chalamet’s latest comment has reignited the debate about how much celebrities owe the public. For some, his refusal to discuss his relationship comes across as evasive; for others, it’s refreshing. In an industry that thrives on transparency, Chalamet represents a rare kind of restraint — one that feels almost defiant.
It’s not the first time he’s taken this approach. In a 2023 GQ interview, Chalamet addressed the impossibility of true privacy in modern celebrity culture. “If you really wanted to be left alone,” he said with a laugh, “you probably wouldn’t date one of the most famous people on Earth.” The comment, half-joking and half-aware, showed that he understands the irony of his situation.
Now, nearly two years later, that irony has evolved into maturity. His partnership with Jenner appears to exist on their own terms — private, selective, and measured. For all the noise surrounding them, they seem to be living quietly, balancing the weight of fame with a shared understanding of what to keep for themselves.
And yet, the intrigue persists. Fans scour photos for subtle signs of affection, tabloids read meaning into every look and gesture, and social media remains ablaze with theories about their future. But Chalamet’s recent response suggests that no amount of curiosity will draw him into the conversation. His silence, in a way, is its own statement — one of love guarded, not denied.
Professionally, Chalamet is entering one of the most defining periods of his career. His upcoming projects include the biopic Marty Supreme and the third installment of Dune, both expected to dominate the box office in 2025 and 2026. With his name attached to some of the decade’s most anticipated films, he seems determined to let his work, not his relationships, take center stage.
Whether his romance with Jenner continues to evolve quietly behind the scenes or reemerges on another red carpet, one thing is certain: Chalamet will decide how much the world gets to see. In his refusal to answer, he has already said the most important thing — that privacy, in a world that thrives on exposure, is an act of self-respect.
His words — “I don’t have anything to say” — are not a dismissal, but a declaration. They are a reminder that even in Hollywood, some stories belong only to the people living them.
