Kylie Jenner has sparked engagement rumors with Timothée Chalamet after fans noticed a possible hint during their red carpet debut together. The couple appeared at a photo call for the 70th David di Donatello Awards in Rome on Wednesday, and eagle-eyed followers were quick to point out an unusual Schiaparelli earring Kylie wore on one ear, which some believe could be a subtle clue.
Fans are speculating that Kylie Jenner may be engaged to Timothée Chalamet after spotting a possible hint in her accessories at their red carpet debut. At the 70th David di Donatello Awards in Rome, Kylie wore mismatched Schiaparelli earrings—one of which featured a gold hand cupping her ear, adorned with a diamond ring.
This detail sparked engagement buzz, with one Reddit user asking, “Do we think Kylie is engaged?” and another noting, “Bling on that gold hand has me thinking…”
Adding fuel to the rumors, Kylie also wore a large teardrop-shaped diamond ring to the event—but interestingly, it was on her pinky finger rather than her ring finger. Fans are now wondering if the jewelry choices were subtle clues pointing to a secret engagement.
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have officially stepped out as a couple, making their red carpet debut at the prestigious David di Donatello Awards in Italy. Kylie stunned in a plunging black gown that showed off her curves, while she cozied up to Timothée, who looked sharp in a black velvet suit.
The couple, who began dating in early 2023, appeared smitten as they walked hand-in-hand into the event. Timothée was there to receive the Special David prize in recognition of his accomplished acting career.
Fans had speculated the pair might debut their romance at the Met Gala earlier this week, but that didn’t happen. A source told the Daily Mail that Timothée ultimately chose not to attend, as he’s a devoted New York Knicks fan and prioritized watching their game. The insider added that Kylie didn’t pressure him to go, something he deeply values about their relationship, saying, “She allows him to do his own thing.”
Kylie Jenner turned heads at the David di Donatello Awards in a figure-hugging corset dress by Italian fashion house Ferragamo, paired with £700 designer heels, as she joined a host of celebrities at the prestigious event.
Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet was enjoying a boys’ night in, sharing moments from an intense Knicks game. The Wonka star posted excited updates on social media, declaring, “This game is insane,” and admitting he was “sh***ing myself” during the team’s dramatic 108–105 comeback win over the Celtics in the second-round playoff series.
Though the couple discussed attending the Met Gala together earlier in the week, they ultimately decided against it. In addition to Timothée’s commitment to the game, they reportedly didn’t want their appearance to become a media circus.
A source explained, “They didn’t want to do the whole song and dance of it all together because it would have felt more like a chore than a fun date night. If it had been Kylie’s first Met Gala or an event where she was being honored, he would’ve been there 100 percent — but they agreed to do their own thing.”
Timothée Chalamet was reportedly ecstatic he chose to watch the Knicks’ thrilling playoff victory over the Celtics instead of attending the Met Gala, which he skipped despite earlier discussions with Kylie Jenner about going together.
In his absence, Kylie made a glamorous appearance at the David di Donatello Awards, posing with Ferragamo designer Maximilian Davis in a sleek look by the fashion house. Despite not walking every red carpet side by side, Kylie and Timothée haven’t shied away from showing affection at high-profile events, including this year’s Oscars and Coachella, and were even seen kissing courtside just days before the Met Gala.
Their decision to keep certain aspects of their relationship private appears to be intentional. According to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail, the couple has set clear boundaries—particularly around social media and Kylie’s reality show The Kardashians.
“Timothée made his intentions clear early on that he didn’t ever want to be a prop,” the source said. “That’s why he doesn’t want to appear on The Kardashians and is only seen with Kylie at public events.”
The insider added that Timothée is focused on being taken seriously as an actor and fears being reduced to just “the guy dating a Kardashian.” The couple reportedly understands that if he were to start appearing on the show, it could jeopardize their relationship.
Jenner, who has two young children with her ex Travis Scott, appears to have issued a blanket ban on any questions about Chalamet in interviews too, with the actor mentioned only in passing in major recent spreads in the Wall Street Journal and Vogue.
Chalamet followed suit when Jenner cropped up during an interview earlier this year.
Asked what it was like to have his ‘partner in crime, Kylie’ supporting him at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, he refused to acknowledge her and instead addressed the support he gets from fans and peers.
