When rumors took the internet by storm that Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet were dating, fans were quick to dismiss this theory.
The public couldn’t wrap their heads around how indie-darling and renowned actor Timothee Chalamet could find any common ground with the trendy reality TV star. After all, Chalamet became an overnight sensation following his oscar-nominated role in Call Me By Your Name, in which the young actor was highly praised for his complexity, intellect, and depth.
Meanwhile, many have criticized the Kar-Jenner clan over the years for endorsing a more superficial lifestyle.
While some fans have defended Kylie Jenner, saying it’s not fair to speculate on her character simply based on her public persona, others think that when it comes to The Kardashian family, what you see is what you get. The reality stars have been heavily criticized over the years for promoting unrealistic beauty standards, engaging in cultural appropriation, and celebrating status over talent. As it turns out, one of the Kar-Jenner’s biggest critics of all is, according to inside sources, Timothee’s loved ones. Particularly, his sister, Pauline Chalamet.
Who is Pauline Chalamet?
While Timothee Chalamet may be the bigger name, Pauline Chalamet is a versatile and talented actress in her own right. The 33-year-old has been killing it as the comedic force in Mindy Kaling’s Sex Lives of College Girls, and uses her social media platforms to promote causes that are near and dear to her heart.
Yet on some of her more recent social media posts, eagle-eyed fans were quick to assume her Instagram stories were directly taking a jab at Kylie Jenner.
Pauline Chalamet Seemingly Throws Shade at Kylie Jenner Via Instagram
Back in January, Pauline took to her Instagram story to call out billionaires. She even went so far as to claim “billionaires do not need to exist.” Many fans were quick to point out that Kylie Jenner was ranked the youngest self-made billionaire by Forbes Magazine back in 2019. (This status has since been revoked by Forbes.)
“Our system is so flawed that it allows billionaires to exist,” she wrote on her Instagram story back in January (per The U.S Sun.) She continued, later saying, “This should not be possible. Billionaires do not need to exist.”
Pauline’s followers began to speculate that her comments were directly shading the Kylie Cosmetics founder. Since then, the Sex Lives of College Girls actress has done nothing to refute those claims.
Timothee Chalamet and Sister Pauline Chalamet Are Allegedly No Longer Speaking
According to a recent source (Per The Sun), Timothee and Pauline Chalamet have been living completely separate lives ever since the Ladybird star became romantically linked to Kylie Jenner. While the siblings used to be “best friends,” Pauline’s disapproval of Timothee’s romantic life has put a major strain on their relationship.
“Timothee and Pauline speak much less often than they used to because this relationship is creating a massive gap between them,” the source revealed to The Sun. “It is sad and frustrating for both of them. The rift is deep.”
The source continues, suggesting Pauline is worried of the “changes” she’s noticing in her brother amid his growing success and stardom. “Pauline is seeing her brother change, and not in a good way,” said another source close to the actress. “She doesn’t recognize the little brother she loves so much, and it’s making her sad.”
Are Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet Planning an Engagement?
Ever since the dating rumors began swirling in 2023, Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet have only gotten closer. While many were certain their relationship would be nothing more than a fling, the high-profile celebs have proved themselves to be getting more and more serious as the years go by.
In fact, several sources claim the A Complete Unknown actor is planning on proposing to the reality TV star with a 300 thousand dollar custom diamond ring (per The Sun.)
