Fears for Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet after latest loved-up appearance

Kylie Jenner has come under fire for allegedly treating Timothee Chalamet like a ‘ possession’, with their relationship likened to that of a mother and son rather than a romantic couple, following an uncomfortable public display of affection.

The pair sparked intense speculation about their relationship status when Jenner, 27, tried to steal a kiss from a seemingly ‘ reluctant ‘ Chalamet, 29, while they were watching a tennis match at India Wells in California on Sunday.

The beauty entrepreneur, donning a revealing red crop top, attempted to pull her boyfriend’s face towards hers for a photo op. However, the Oscar-nominated actor barely turned his head, keeping his gaze straight ahead as Jenner struggled to plant the kiss.

Body language expert Judi James commented on the awkward interaction, stating that despite being one of Hollywood’s ‘ hottest ‘ couples, their PDA made them appear ‘ totally out of sync’. “Timothee obligingly rips off his shades to pose for the camera, but Kylie takes over the choreography in a dominant and demanding way, grabbing his head to try to convert his polite pose into a couples ‘ picture”, James exclusively told DailyMail.com.

“Kylie uses cupped hands to try to pull his head round for a kiss while Timothee looks totally reluctant. She pulls his head closer to hers, but he still has his eyes fixed politely on the camera, causing some kind of a ‘ kiss tussle ‘ as she seems to make him respond to her guppy lip kiss despite his obvious reluctance”.

She went on to say: “Even when he does comply, he keeps his eyes open to suggest a lack of passion or romance. The ritual looks very much like a mom trying to get a kiss from her kid when dropping him off at school”.

The pair, who were spotted in the front row at the recent Academy Awards where Chalamet missed out on the Lead Actor award for his portrayal of Nobel Prize laureate Bob Dylan, were accompanied by Jenner’s sister Kendall last Sunday.

Chalamet, donning a striped shirt and leather trousers, was seen cheering as they watched Holger Rune of Denmark compete against France’s Ugo Humbert, with 12th-ranked Rune triumphing over the 18th-ranked Humbert.

During the match, Jenner was also observed rubbing the actor’s stomach, an act James interpreted as the reality star slipping into ‘ mum mode’.

“Kylie’s next gesture is one that suggests not only that she’s in mum mode here but that she is also keen to mark out Timothee as her possession”, she explained. “As he leans back in his seat, stretching out while still communicating with the guy in front, Kylie stretches out her arm and begins to rub him on his tummy. It’s a very exaggerated gesture with no apparent response from him, making it look again maternal rather than sexual”.

This footage ignited a heated discussion about the status of their two-year relationship, with critics predicting ‘ the end is coming’. “She is waaaay too clingy! Desperate almost, ‘ one Reddit user commented on Jenner’s behaviour”.

“She is more into him than he is into her”, another chimed in. A third said: “You can’t convince me this relationship is real”.

These comments comes just days after Jenner was accused of potentially jeopardising Chalamet’s second shot at an Oscar by making an unexpected appearance at the awards ceremony.

The actor, who missed out on the award to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist, had previously won at the SAG Awards, which Jenner did not attend. Their recent public display of affection was a far cry from their behaviour at the Oscars, where the couple, who have been together since 2023, were seen holding hands and exchanging loving glances and kisses.

However, during a commercial break before the Best Costume Design award, Chalamet was spotted leading Jenner out of the auditorium. When his ex-girlfriend Lily-Rose Depp took to the stage alongside Elle Fanning, his co-star in A Complete Unknown, the high-profile couple was conspicuously absent.
