Fans of reality TV star and beauty mogul Kylie Jenner are in a frenzy, convinced she is now engaged to her actor boyfriend, Timothee Chalamet. The speculation ignited after Jenner, 28, was spotted wearing a significant diamond ring in a recent social media post.
The Sparkling Clue That Set the Internet Alight
In a video shared on her social media channels, the mother-of-two showcased a fresh haircut while seated in her car. However, it was not her new hairstyle that captured the attention of her millions of followers. All eyes were drawn to a large, eye-catching diamond ring adorning the little finger of her left hand. Jenner captioned the post, "Got a fresh haircut don’t talk to meeeee," seemingly ignoring the jewellery that sent comment sections into overdrive.
Followers were quick to analyse the placement and size of the ring, with many concluding it was too substantial to be a mere pinky ring and must signify an engagement. One fan commented, "It HAS to be an engagement ring because it’s too big to be fitted for her pinky." Another excitedly wrote, "Mrs. Chalamet has never looked this beautiful. A touch of happiness made her glow," while a third simply stated, "Kylie Chalamet."
A Public Declaration of Love Fuels the Fire
The ring speculation comes hot on the heels of a very public and emotional moment for the couple. At the recent Critics Choice Awards, Timothee Chalamet won the Best Actor award for his role in 'Marty Supreme'. During his heartfelt acceptance speech, he directly addressed Jenner, who was in the audience.
"Thank you to my partner for three years. I love you. I couldn’t do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart," the actor said. Cameras captured a visibly moved Kylie Jenner mouthing the words "I love you" back to him. This display followed rumours that the pair had split, making the moment even more poignant for observers.
Experts Weigh In on the 'Strategic' Romance
According to psychologist Darren Stanton, speaking on behalf of Press Box PR to the Daily Mail, the couple's recent public displays are a calculated form of "relationship validation." He suggested their overt gestures are designed to send a clear message about the strength and longevity of their bond.
"They're sending a very clear and direct message to the public that the relationship is real, secure and intentional," Stanton explained. "It isn't just for the cameras - they're in this relationship for the long haul." He added that such public affection helps reduce speculation and discourage online trolls, noting that Kylie Jenner, in particular, is "very media trained and controlled."
The couple, who first sparked dating rumours in the summer of 2023, made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Italy in May 2025. While neither Jenner nor Chalamet has confirmed the engagement rumours, the combination of the diamond ring sighting and his recent award speech has left fans eagerly awaiting an official announcement.
