Fans hoping to catch a glimpse of Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner together at the Kardashian-Jenner family’s legendary Christmas Eve bash were left disappointed this year—the Dune star was nowhere to be seen.
Despite being one of Hollywood’s most buzzed-about couples, Chalamet and Jenner kept things low-key this holiday season. While Kylie stunned in a striking black-and-white Galliano gown at her family’s annual star-studded soirée, her 29-year-old boyfriend was noticeably absent from every photo and video that surfaced online.
The actor’s no-show immediately sparked online chatter, with fans speculating whether he skipped the event entirely or simply avoided the cameras. However, sources say his absence isn’t all that surprising. The couple, who first linked up in 2023, have made a habit of keeping their romance private—even as their relationship quietly passed the two-year mark.
Chalamet, who recently gave Kylie a playful nod in his EsDeeKid rap collaboration and joined her for a matching Chrome Hearts moment at the Marty Supreme premiere, has never been one for flashy couple appearances. “He’s just not someone who feels the need to be in every photo,” one insider told People. “They’re happy and solid but value their privacy.”
The actor himself hinted at that boundary in a recent Vogue interview, saying simply, “I don’t say that with any fear, I just don’t have anything to say.” Kylie echoed the sentiment in a separate ELLE profile, admitting, “It’s hard to make decisions when the whole world is watching, so I like to keep certain things to myself.”
Still, insiders say the couple is “doing great.” Even with Chalamet currently in Europe filming Dune: Part Three, he reportedly plans to spend part of the holidays with Kylie. “They make an effort to see each other every few weeks,” a source said. “They’re making plans for when he has time off.”
So, while Timothée may have skipped the Kardashian-Jenner Christmas photo frenzy, sources insist all is calm and bright behind the scenes for Hollywood’s most stylish—and most private—pair.
