Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet made sure all eyes were on them at the Academy Awards, openly showing their affection with hand-holding and sweet kisses.
The couple, who have been dating since 2023, seemed completely at ease in front of the cameras—until an unexpected moment changed the energy.
Disappearing Act During Lily-Rose Depp’s Presentation
Things took a turn when Chalamet’s ex-girlfriend, Lily-Rose Depp, stepped on stage to present the award for Best Costume Design.
Instead of staying seated, Jenner and Chalamet were noticeably absent when the camera panned across the audience.
Just moments earlier, Chalamet, dressed in a pastel yellow suit, was seen leading Jenner away during a commercial break.
Their disappearance didn’t go unnoticed, sparking speculation among fans.
A video capturing the moment went viral on TikTok, with Reddit users weighing in on the mystery.
Some called their exit “immature” and “embarrassing,” while others defended the decision, saying it was a strategic move to avoid awkward camera shots.
Chalamet and Depp’s Past Relationship Resurfaces
Chalamet and Depp previously dated for about two years after starring together in The King (2019).
Their relationship was relatively private, and their split was only confirmed when Chalamet mentioned he was “currently single” in a 2020 interview.
In a past conversation with GQ, Chalamet admitted to feeling embarrassed when paparazzi photos of him and Depp kissing on a yacht went public.
“I went to bed that night thinking it was one of the best days of my life,” he recalled, but waking up to the media frenzy made him feel exposed and uncomfortable.
Now, with Depp currently dating rapper-singer 070 Shake, their brief encounter at the Oscars reignited discussions about their past, especially when she stood in front of a giant illustration of Chalamet during a tribute to costume designer Arianne Phillips.
Kylie’s Red Carpet Solo and an Elton John Etiquette Debate
Earlier in the night, Jenner and Chalamet arrived separately, with the Dune actor walking the red carpet alone before reuniting with Jenner inside the Dolby Theatre.
Despite their affectionate moments throughout the ceremony, Jenner found herself in the spotlight for a different reason—her interaction with Sir Elton John.
During a commercial break, Chalamet introduced Jenner to the legendary musician.
Instead of standing, she remained seated as she extended her hand, which Sir Elton kissed.
Viewers were quick to criticize the moment, with one commenting, “That is Sir Elton John—you stand when greeting him.”
Others argued that it was simply a casual interaction blown out of proportion.
Wrapping Up the Night at the Vanity Fair Party
After the awards, Jenner and Chalamet continued their evening at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, joined by her sisters Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian.
Despite the online buzz surrounding their night, the couple appeared unfazed, celebrating together late into the night.
With their relationship constantly under the microscope, fans are left wondering—what’s next for Kylie and Timothée?
