Kylie Jenner has set social media abuzz after sharing a series of provocative Instagram images that appear to playfully reference her rumoured split from actor Timothee Chalamet. The 28-year-old beauty entrepreneur posted the collection of previously unseen photos on Saturday with the caption 'cute random pics i never posted', just days after sources claimed their relationship faced 'trouble in paradise'.
Instagram antics spark speculation
Among the carousel of images, one particularly telling photo shows Jenner playfully flipping the bird while posing with friends at a restaurant during Paris Fashion Week last month. Seated beside her is an individual bearing a striking resemblance to the Wonka actor, adding fuel to speculation about the status of their romance.
The reality star turned business mogul showcased various looks throughout the post, including a busty display in a low-cut tank top during a car selfie and several sultry bedroom shots where she appeared covered only by a bedsheet. Jenner also flaunted her toned physique in a white bodysuit layered with a sheer skirt, an outfit she previously wore to her mother Kris Jenner's 70th birthday celebration.
Relationship troubles come to light
The Instagram post follows exclusive revelations from Daily Mail sources indicating that Chalamet has ended his relationship with the Kylie Cosmetics founder. According to insiders, this isn't the first time the couple have parted ways, with one source noting 'this has happened before' and suggesting Jenner might attempt to reconcile again.
Another insider elaborated on the situation, stating 'There is trouble in paradise, but they aren't completely over. He is filming quite a bit, and she feels that she has to chase him. She is putting in the work more than him.' The couple, first linked in 2023, have maintained a relatively private relationship despite occasional public appearances at award ceremonies and sporting events.
Chalamet's revealing Vogue interview
The relationship strain appears connected to Chalamet's recent Vogue cover story for the December issue, where the actor declined to discuss his romance with Jenner. When pressed about his relationship, Chalamet told the publication 'I don't say that with any fear, I just don't have anything to say.'
However, the Dune star did open up about future plans for marriage and children, noting how friends like Zendaya and Anya Taylor-Joy have taken significant steps in their relationships. 'Zendaya is engaged. Anya is married,' Chalamet observed, adding that fatherhood 'could be on the radar' for him eventually.
Sources told Radar Online that Jenner felt 'really upset' by how casually Chalamet dismissed questions about their relationship. 'She honestly believed they were past the point of hiding things and that he'd want to celebrate their relationship, not act like it doesn't exist,' the insider revealed.
Despite putting on a brave face through social media, the beauty mogul is reportedly 'shocking and heartbroken' over his comments. The couple's busy schedules have also contributed to relationship strain, with Jenner feeling she's putting in most of the effort through calls and visits while Chalamet focuses on filming commitments.
Meanwhile, Chalamet was spotted enjoying a guys' night out in Hollywood last Friday, appearing carefree as he exited a popular hotspot with friends. As both stars navigate this uncertain period in their relationship, fans remain watching for any further developments in this celebrity romance saga.
