Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet's 40 days apart EXPLAINED as rumors persist they are over
The last time the dynamic duo were spied side-by-side was on July 5 when they were in St Tropez, France during a yacht vacation.
Since then the 27-year-old billionaire has been spotted having fun with friends like Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber as well as sister Kendall Jenner over red wine and vodka martinis in Los Angeles.
The California-based cosmetics mogul has also been flashing her generous cleavage and toned tummy in sexy bra-top outfits on Instagram.
Fans have wondered if the brunette bombshell and Oscar nominee have parted ways after two-and-a-half years together.
But the Daily Mail can explain their distance.
Turns out Chalamet has been filming his next project, Dune: Messiah, in Hungary.
The New Yorker plays the character Paul Atreides in the third installment of the Dune movie franchise.
'Timothee is busy making a movie and the schedule is grueling because he is in so many scenes, he is the star,' said a source. 'So he has to be very focused and together to do his best work.'
Jenner gives him all the support he needs, added the source.
'She helps him out as much as she can, like give him space to work and have her private jet on standby in case he needs to go somewhere fast,' said the source.
'Kylie is a good girlfriend to him. She is always there and wants him to be happy, and if that means he has to be overseas for a few months, she is OK with it, she will wait. She also secretly jets off to see him when she can.
'Of course she misses her man and her heart hurts when he is not near, but she makes it work.'
There has been shooting in Budapest for the third Dune film.
Chalamet's costars are Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Robert Pattinson, Anya Taylor-Joy, Florence Pugh and Jason Momoa.
Dune Messia is being shot entirely with IMAX cameras and will be in theatres on December 16, 2026.
The IMDB logline for the film is brief: 'The film follows Muad'dib, heir to unimaginable power, as he brings to fruition the ancient scheme to create a superbeing ruler among men, not in the heavens.'
Dune Messiah is a 1969 science fiction novel by American writer Frank Herbert, the second in his Dune series of six novels.
A sequel to Dune, it was originally serialized in Galaxy magazine in 1969, and then published by Putnam the same year.
Jenner and Chalamet started dating in January 2023, were rumored to be an item in April 2023 and then they went public with their romance in September 2023.
Their first red carpet together was at the 70th David Di Donatello event at Cinecitta Studios in Rome, Italy on May 7, 2025.
In early July Jenner started following Chalamet on Instagram.
The businesswoman boasts almost 400million followers on the photo-sharing site, but she is quite choosy about who she follows, with only 119 profiles making the cut.
However, one of those is now her boyfriend of two years.
Fans of TyMothée - the pair's most popular ship name - have been driven into a frenzy after spotting Kylie has allowed the A Complete Unknown actor into her close social circle.
However, at the time of writing, the follow is yet to be reciprocated.
The 29-year-old actor has 19.7 million Instagram followers, and has only shared 147 posts, compared with Kylie's whopping 7,244 posts.
But the Kardashians star shouldn't feel snubbed because he doesn't follow anybody on Instagram.
That's including his ex-girlfriend Eiza Gonzalez, who recently admitted she is 'obsessed' by his new romance with reality star Kylie.
During an appearance in Cosmopolitan magazine's online video series Cheap Shots, Eiza explained: 'They look so cute together. They look so in love and so cute, I'm obsessed with them, and I love Timmy.'
She added of the Dune star: 'I think he's the most talented, sweetest - honestly, sweetest boy - and I'm just so proud to see him thriving and doing great in his career, and we're just good friends.
'I have nothing but amazing things to say about him.'
Chalamet has been romancing Kylie - who is mom to Stormi, seven, and three-year-old Aire with ex-boyfriend Travis Scott - since April 2023, and their relationship has won the seal of approval from Timothee's mother Nicole Flender.
The real estate agent told Curbed: 'I have to say she's lovely. She's very nice to me.'

Man charged with killing an 'American Idol' exec and husband will undergo mental evaluation
A man charged with fatally shooting an 'American Idol' music supervisor and her husband in their Los Angeles home will undergo mental evaluation to determine whether he's fit to stand trial, a judge ruled Wednesday. Raymond Boodarian, 22, was set to be arraigned in a courthouse in Los Angeles but did not enter a plea. A judge suspended the criminal proceedings against him while a psychiatrist examines him to determine his competency. He's charged with two counts of murder in the killing of longtime 'American Idol' producer Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca, both 70, who were shot when they came home unexpectedly during a burglary on July 10. A judge at a court that specializes in mental health will consider the evaluation and decide whether Boodarian will proceed toward trial or be placed in a state hospital. Boodarian stood behind a window in a custody area of the courtroom, and appeared to try to remain out of sight. His attorney declined comment, and the district attorney's office had no immediate comment. Boodarian will undergo the same evaluation in the same small courthouse on Hollywood Boulevard where a man charged with stalking Jennifer Aniston and driving into the front gate of her home was recently found to be not competent to go to trial. Police said they responded to a 911 call about a burglary at the home of Kaye and Deluca in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles. Police said they found no sign of forced entry or other trouble and left. Four days later the couple's bodies were found, shot to death, when officers carried out a welfare check at the home. Boodarian was arrested the following day. District Attorney Nathan Hochman later said in a community meeting that investigators believe the couple arrived home unexpectedly while Boodarian was burglarizing it. He shot them with their own gun and later called 911 himself, Hochman said. Kaye had been with 'American Idol' for more than 15 years and was working on the upcoming season of the hit singing competition TV series at the time of her death. She had also worked in the music departments of several other productions, including 'The Singing Bee,' 'Hollywood Game Night,' 'Lip Sync Battle,' and several Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.

French ‘influencer' dies after months of abuse filmed live on website
A French social media influencer has died on camera during a two-week livestream marathon after months of being 'humiliated and mistreated' for the entertainment of viewers. Raphaël Graven, better known to his 500,000 subscribers as Jean Pormanove, died in his sleep on Monday during a broadcast on the website Kick. The 46-year-old from Contes, north of Nice, is said to have suffered from a serious heart condition and had been broadcasting for more than 298 hours before his death. Videos seen by The Telegraph featuring Mr Graven with influencers Owen Cenazandotti, 26 – known as Naruto – and Safine Hamadi, 23 – alias Safi – apparently show him regularly being beaten, strangled, force-fed, doused in unpleasant liquids and targeted with a paintball gun. The creators of the videos allegedly received financial donations from viewers, who encouraged more and more degrading and extreme acts to be broadcast. The death has caused outrage in the French media, with Le Monde describing the dark side of human nature as 'reminiscent of some of the most chilling episodes from the British dystopian tech series Black Mirror '. Politicians called on regulators and livestreaming platforms to explain how the apparent abuse was broadcast online without any intervention. Prosecutors in Nice confirmed they had opened an investigation into Mr Graven's death and are conducting a post-mortem examination on Thursday. Police seized the group's recording and digital equipment during a search of a property in Contes. 'At this stage, there is nothing suspicious, interviews are under way,' a police spokesman said. In one video, Mr Graven, reportedly a former soldier, screams 'call the cops' to viewers after being pummelled by paintball pellets. In another that resurfaced after his death, Mr Cenazandotti and Mr Hamadi are apparently heard explicitly discussing the possibility of Mr Graven dying live on air. They urged him to tell viewers that if he were to die tomorrow it was 'because of his s----- health and not because of us'. Mr Cenazandotti is seen to say: 'People will come after us but it's because of your 46 years of a miserable life.' Eventually Mr Graven reluctantly stated to the camera: 'If something happens to me live, I take full responsibility.' Mr Graven is said to have sent a message to his mother shortly before his death that was read out by Mr Cenazandotti. In it, he stated: 'I think this is going too far, I feel like I'm being held captive with their s----- concept. I'm fed up, I want to get out, the other guy won't let me, he's holding me hostage.' In an excerpt from the latest 'XXL' livestream, which was widely shared on social media on Tuesday, Mr Cenazandotti can be seen expressing concern about his 'partner's' breathing problems and the risk of 'physical troubles'. The final video of Mr Graven, since deleted, shows him lying immobile under a duvet as a plastic water bottle is thrown in his direction. 'He's in a really weird position,' one man says before the broadcast is swiftly turned off. A fundraising counter shown on the video suggested the group had collected more than £31,000. Mr Cenazandotti and Mr Hamadi were detained in January before being released as part of a preliminary investigation into suspected violence against vulnerable people, Le Parisien reported. They have both denied any wrongdoing and dispute the facts of the case. Damien Martinelli, the prosecutor leading the preliminary investigation, said three charges were being considered, including 'public incitement via electronic communication to hatred or violence against a person or group due to their disability'. Clara Chappaz, France's deputy minister for digital affairs, said the nature of Mr Graven's death and the violence he endured are an 'absolute horror'. She has referred the incident to Arcom, France's media watchdog, and Pharos, the public platform for reporting illegal online content. 'I extend my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. Jean Pormanove was humiliated and mistreated for months live on the Kick platform,' she said. 'I have also contacted the platform's management to obtain explanations. The responsibility of online platforms regarding the dissemination of illicit content is not optional: it is the law. This type of failure can lead to the worst and has no place in France, Europe or anywhere else.' Arcom has been criticised for failing to act despite repeated warnings from the media and viewers regarding Mr Grazen's alleged treatment. On Wednesday, Arthur Delaporte, the Socialist MP for Calvados, pointed out that Arcom had been notified of the problem following an investigation by news website Mediapart last December and would have to 'explain why nothing has happened since'. But he said the regulator 'does not have the resources to carry out its mission, with only 23 people to enforce the [European] Digital Services Act, compared to 60 in Germany'. In a written response, Arcom said it had been unable to act because the Kick platform has no legal representative within the European Union. Mr Delaporte said the 'parallel police investigation' had also failed to prevent this 'tragedy' and that French authorities in general had 'failed to protect this man'. Kick is one of the world's most popular livestreaming platforms and is often used by teenagers to film themselves playing games. The Australian-based website said it was 'urgently reviewing' the circumstances surrounding Mr Graven's death, including its own community guidelines. According to its terms of service, Kick specifically prohibits streamers from featuring anything that 'contains self-harm or excessive violence' and 'content in furtherance of harmful or illegal activities'. In a message posted on his Instagram account, Mr Cenazandotti said: 'My brother, my partner, my friend. Six years side by side, never letting go of each other. I love you, my brother, and we will miss you terribly.' Yassin Sadouni, his lawyer, told Le Monde: 'We are waiting for the results of the investigation to determine the full circumstances of JP's death and to identify the responsibilities of each party.' Mr Hamadi posted 'Rest in peace, my brother'. A spokesman for Kick said: 'We are deeply saddened by the loss of Jean Pormanove and extend our condolences to his family, friends and community. 'We are urgently reviewing the circumstances and engaging with relevant stakeholders to investigate the situation. Kick's community guidelines are designed to protect creators, and we remain committed to upholding these standards across our platform.'
