Sarah Tena, a former adult entertainer and Instagram model, has publicly claimed that Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet blindsided her by swiftly beginning a relationship with Kylie Jenner shortly after their three-year romance ended. Tena describes the transition as "disrespectful" and admits to feeling deeply saddened by the sudden loss of their connection.
A Three-Year Romance Abruptly Ends
According to Tena, she and Chalamet were involved in an on-and-off relationship spanning from 2020 to 2023. She speaks highly of the 30-year-old actor, characterizing him as "genuine" and "invested" in her life, noting that he consistently showed interest in her 11-year-old daughter. Tena reveals that she "was in love with Timothée" and that both parties expressed deep feelings for each other, though she never explicitly verbalized her love to him.
The Final Meeting and Last Contact
The last time Tena saw Chalamet was in New York, where she gifted him a bracelet similar to one she owned, believing it would strengthen their bond. Unbeknownst to her, this would mark their final in-person encounter. Their last communication occurred on January 5, 2023, when Tena wished him a happy birthday, and Chalamet merely "liked" her message without further engagement.
Swift Transition to Kylie Jenner
Merely three weeks after their last contact, reports emerged that Chalamet had moved on with Kylie Jenner. The pair were first spotted together at Jean Paul Gaultier's Paris Fashion Week show, and by April 2023, TMZ published photos of Jenner's Range Rover parked at Chalamet's Beverly Hills residence, indicating they were "hanging out."
Tena's Emotional Response
In an interview, Tena confesses she misses the star, having not seen him for "a couple of years." She expressed her dismay, stating, "I did get down and a little sad about the whole thing because I was like 'wow I might not ever see him again' and when I had always felt so sure about him and I and it turned the complete opposite of that." Tena added that she never anticipated their communication would cease, emphasizing their underlying friendship and noting, "He's changed."
Chalamet's Public Declaration for Jenner
Despite Tena's claims that Chalamet "does not like PDA" (public displays of affection), the actor made a significant public tribute to Kylie Jenner at the Critics Choice Awards in January. After winning Best Actor for his role in "Marty Supreme," Chalamet thanked "my partner for three years," declaring, "I love you. I couldn't do this without you." Cameras captured Jenner mouthing "I love you" in response from the audience.
Privacy and Public Appearances
Chalamet and Jenner began publicly dating in 2023 after keeping their relationship private initially. Interestingly, despite the public declaration at the Critics Choice Awards, the couple attended the Palm Springs International Film Festival separately the previous day, posing solo on the red carpet, highlighting their preference for maintaining certain boundaries.
The Mirror has reached out to Timothée Chalamet's representatives for comment, but no response has been provided at this time. Tena's revelations shed light on the personal dynamics behind the glamorous facade of celebrity relationships, underscoring the emotional complexities involved when high-profile romances transition abruptly.
