Kylie Jenner is reportedly pressing Timothée Chalamet toward engagement while the Oscar nominee remains unready for marriage, sources say.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder, 29, has made her intentions clear to the “Wonka” star, 30, after roughly three years together. “Kylie is ready to get engaged and has made it pretty clear to Timothée that she sees marriage in their future,” an insider said. “She’s not giving him ultimatums or demanding a ring, but she’s definitely making her feelings known and hoping he’ll get there sooner rather later.”
The source added that this campaign is taking a toll on the actor. “It’s putting some pressure on Timothée to take that next step.”
Chalamet’s camp paints a different picture of his readiness. “Timothée loves Kylie and is very much invested in their relationship, but he’s simply not there yet,” the insider said. The source continued with a telling caveat: “There’s a feeling that if he were to propose anytime soon, it would be more because of the pressure he’s feeling rather than because he’s genuinely ready.”
The couple first sparked dating rumors in April 2023, making their public debut at a Beyoncé concert that September before attending the Golden Globes together the following January.
The timing of Kylie’s push carries extra weight given developments in her sister’s love life. Kendall Jenner, 30, has been building an increasingly serious bond with “Euphoria” star Jacob Elordi, 29, and those close to both couples believe the model and actor could beat the younger pair to the altar.
“While the ‘Euphoria’ star ‘is completely all in with Kendall,’ Kylie and Chalamet ‘still have a more fun and carefree dynamic,'” the source explained. That contrast has reportedly stung the younger Jenner sister.
“What really bothers Kylie is the possibility of Kendall getting engaged before her, despite being in a much newer relationship,” the insider said. The source described Kylie as feeling “some jealousy and frustration” over the scenario.
This sibling dynamic adds a fresh layer to a romance that has played out largely in the margins of Hollywood’s spotlight. Chalamet and Kylie have kept their relationship relatively private compared to her past high-profile pairings, though they have stepped out for select major events including the 2025 Academy Awards.
The actor’s own words about marriage have taken on new relevance in light of the current reports. During a February promotional event in London for his film “Marty Supreme,” Chalamet fielded a personal question about his future plans.
When an interviewer asked whether he thought he would ever get married, the “Dune” star initially deflected with humor. He joked that the question was too personal and could get him in “trouble.”
However, he ultimately answered with an enthusiastic “Yes. Yes.”
That public acknowledgment of eventual marriage now sits awkwardly against claims that he is “not there yet” with his current partner. The gap between his abstract willingness to wed and his concrete timeline with Kylie appears to be driving the present friction.
Reps for Kendall, Kylie, Chalamet and Elordi did not respond to the outlet’s requests for comment.
The reported pressure campaign marks a notable shift for a relationship that began with casual public sightings and evolved into one of entertainment’s most watched pairings. Whether Chalamet’s February “Yes. Yes.” translates to a near-term proposal remains an open question as Kylie watches her sister’s romance accelerate.
Chalamet’s next major promotional obligation is the continued rollout of “Marty Supreme,” with additional international appearances expected through the spring.
