KYLIE Jenner and Timothee Chalamet have responded to breakup rumors as they reunited at a Budapest coffee shop. It comes as the Hollywood power couple recently had fans speculating they could be going their separate ways after some "tell tale signs". 6 Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet confirmed they were very much still together with this picture Credit: Instagram/budapestbaristas_buda 6 It came after couple recently have sparked speculation they've split Credit: Getty 6 The Hollywood power couple have been dating since 2023 Credit: Getty Kylie, 28, and Timothee, 29, who have been dating since 2023, put any rumors of a break-up to bed when they reunited after 45 days apart. The last time the couple were spotted together was on a yacht on July 5, in St Tropez, France. But now they are back together, after the youngest Kardashians star went to visit her man in Budapest, where he is currently filming Dune 3. Kylie and Timothee thrilled two employees at a local coffee shop, when they took a picture with them. Proving they were definitely still a couple, they posed happily with the star struck fans. Posting on the Instagram page for Budapest Baristas, one of the employees wrote: "Today Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet just walked in to our coffeeshop at Buda we were so in confusion, we could barley concentrate, but i think you can see on our face." The happy couple faced split rumours after Timothee was noticeably absent from Kylie's 28th birthday recently. She then posted on Instagram that she had been listening to break-up anthems, including Jeff Buckley's Lover, You Should've Come Over and Labi Saffre's Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying. Fans recognised she did this just before after her split with Travis Scott, and believed it was a sign that she has called time with Timothee. Sharing theories on Reddit, one fan wrote: 'Obviously could mean nothing, but I don't post break up songs casually myself. Hoping it's nothing though!!' Timothee Chalamet's sister Pauline throws new jab at Kylie Jenner as she slams 'wealth' in furious post This prompted another to write: 'Oof, the first sign of her breakup with Travis was random breakup songs. Could be nothing, she's still following him… 'Edit: yeah I interpret the song as a man messing up, but he still wants to be with his (ex?) lover. Definitely a yearning thing.' However, others thought it might not be a sign of a split, with one noting: 'Could actually be a suggestion by Timothee especially since a Jeff Buckley documentary just came out today.' 'But then she posted the 2nd breakup song from another artist (she actually posted it twice to tell us she's actually listening to it 😭)' noted another. "Not saying they did, but everything is calculated with Kylie. She knows what people are going to assume." "this song has been trending on tiktok for at least the last month," noted another. "i don't think it's anything more than that" But thanks to their Budapest selfie, fans will be pleased to know that Hollywood's young power couple, are very much together.

Hollywood A-lister lined up to play Sinead O'Connor in new film about her life – & she's ‘spitting image' of Irish star
NATALIE Portman tops the list of actresses in the frame to play Sinéad O'Connor in a film about her life. Three Irish film companies have teamed up to produce a biopic about Sinéad, who died aged 56 in 2023. 3 Natalie Portman is the frontrunner to play Sinéad O'Connor in a film about her life Credit: Getty 3 Natalie was the 'spitting image' of Sinéad in her 2005 film V For Vendetta Credit: Warner Bros 3 Three Irish film companies have teamed up to produce a biopic about Sinéad, pictured, who died aged 56 in 2023 Credit: Getty Insiders said Natalie, 44, was being lined up for the role. A source said: 'Natalie is the actress the filmmakers want to play Sinéad. 'They think she is the spit of Sinéad in terms of her physicality but as an actress, they know she has the strength and power to do justice to Sinéad.' Natalie previously shaved her head for the 2005 film, V For Vendetta. A source added: 'She is the spitting image of Sinéad in that film. 'It's uncanny. 'Natalie really is a triple threat – she can morph into characters, dance and sing – and is a true perfectionist. 'She would be a great signing for this.' Sinéad's biopic is being directed by Josephine Decker, who made a film about horror writer Shirley Jackson, starring Elisabeth Moss, in 2020. The writer will be by Stacey Gregg, whose TV credits include the series Mary And George, Little Birds and The Letter For The King. 'I cried my eyes out for a fortnight' - emotional Sinead O'Connor's dad tells of losing his singer daughter and life without the star Production companies behind the project include See-Saw Films – who were behind The King's Speech, Shame, The Power of the Dog and Slow Horses – as well as Nine Daughters and ie:entertainment, which was an executive producer on Nothing Compares. Sinéad is still best remembered for her 1990 hit Nothing Compares 2 U, which was accompanied by a music video in which she sported a shaved head and shed a tear over the memory of her dead mother. Her career was defined by controversial moments due to her strong and outspoken views, along with her conversion to Islam in 2018. Sinéad once ripped up a picture of Pope John Paul II during a performance on US show Saturday Night Live. Looking directly into the camera after singing Bob Marley's War, Sinead said 'fight the real enemy' - said to be a protest against the Catholic church. The stunt saw her banned for life by US broadcaster NBC. Days later, Sinéad took part in Bob Dylan's 30th anniversary tribute concert at Madison Square Garden and was booed But Sinéad stood by the protest, saying in an interview with the New York Times in 2021: 'I'm not sorry I did it. It was brilliant.' She also spoke out on racism, human rights, women's rights, child abuse and organised religion - namely the Catholic Church in her home country. Our source added: 'This film about Sinéad is going to be as unflinching and brutal as most of her life was – and Natalie is a dab hand at dark portrayals on camera.'
