Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are currently one of Hollywood’s biggest – and most unexpected – power couples. But are their worlds too different to merge? Kylie, 27, is a reality star and beauty mogul from one of the most famous families on television. Timothée, 29, on the other hand, has developed a reputation as one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation. He’s known for his work in films like Call Me By Your Name and Dune.

Since going public with their relationship in 2023, Kylie and Timothée have faced intense scrutiny and relentless break-up rumors. People can’t understand why they’re together. And the more they keep their relationship on the down-low, the more the public questions if something is amiss. The pair have been particularly PDA-heavy recently, putting questions about a split to rest. But there may be trouble in paradise, as Kylie reportedly wants Timothée’s help getting into acting. But he has good reason to be reluctant, and it may end up creating tension as well as resentment.

Kylie Wants More Than Reality T.V.

Kylie made a name for herself on her family’s reality shows Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and now The Kardashians. But she’s apparently eyeing a break in the big screen. According to Radar Online, Kylie has been seriously pushing Timothée to help make her dreams a reality.

“She’s desperate for him to get her plum roles. She wants to go straight to the top and be an A-lister – no bit parts for her,” the source claimed. “He’s tried. He’s dropping hints to people he knows in the business, but they’re not warming to it.”

It won’t be an easy path for Kylie, with or without Timothée’s help. The source notes, “Industry folks don’t consider her an actress.”

“You have to find it within you to forgive. You don’t have to forget.”

Another insider told Daily Mail that Timothée is “blindsided” with Kylie’s new career goal – and he may feel like she’s edging on his territory. “She would love to star opposite Timothée in a romantic movie,” they said.

“When Timothée finally recovered from the shock of her admission, he tried convincing her how tough the business is,” they added.

Apparently, however, Timothée hasn’t had any success in changing Kylie’s mind. It sounds like he’s even beginning to mentor her, as he had her sign up for acting lessons. “After much persuasion, Timothée advised her to get into a serious acting class, see if she likes the craft, then take it from there,” the same source noted. “She is more than willing and wants to learn everything she can. Kim has done it and there is no reason why Kylie can’t try.”

While Timothée may have been the motivation behind Kylie signing up for acting classes, it sounds like he did so begrudgingly. The pair have been together for two years, but there remain questions about whether Timothée will survive the Kardashian machine. If he’s acquiesced Kylie’s demands for help to become an actress, there’s no telling what will come next.

Reports have said Kris Jenner wants to get Timothée on The Kardashians to boost ratings (or perhaps even Khloe Kardashian’s new Hulu show). But the couple have been hesitant, and so far, the actor hasn’t made his reality TV debut. Kylie’s motives may not be genuine – and there’s a chance Kylie may be able to see right through them. After Gwyneth Paltrow made comments about filming an intimate scene with Timothée earlier this year, reports said Kylie was feeling jealous. She doesn’t like the idea of him getting close to co-workers, so she may hope to insert herself on set by becoming an actress herself.

“Timothée has no problem being intimate in movies, but Kylie doesn’t like it,” a source told Radar Online. “She doesn’t want him to film any more sex scenes.” If she’s the one Timothée has to film with, then the problem is solved, right?

Timothée and Kylie have worked hard to keep their relationship away from the public eye. But if she pushes to break into acting – and he’s as head-over-heels as he seems in the picture – he may feel like he has no choice but to support her… and use his connections to help Kylie get on the silver screen.
