Why Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet Took Their Time for a Red Carpet Debut
Hollywood's dynamic duo, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet, have been an item for two years now, but they just made their big red carpet debut. The couple, who have been spotted together at various events like festivals and basketball games, officially stepped out together at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards this past Wednesday.
So, why the long wait for this 'hard launch'? According to Gemma Nice, a multi-award-winning sex and relationships coach, there’s a solid reason behind their decision to keep things low-key for so long.
In an exclusive chat with Not On The High Street, Gemma explained that delaying a public announcement can actually take the pressure off a relationship. She noted, “It’s healthy to hold off on a hard launch because it also gives you the time to test the waters and let the relationship grow, especially after the ‘honeymoon’ phase.”
By opting for a soft launch, Kylie and Timothée have been able to protect their relationship from the relentless scrutiny of the media. Gemma pointed out that being in the public eye means they are acutely aware of the stories that could be spun about them, and they might want to keep their private lives just that—private.
“Some celebrities prefer to keep their relationships out of the media spotlight, and this could be the case for Kylie and Timothée,” she added. “They likely came to this agreement together, understanding the pressures that come with fame.”
Interestingly, this approach is a departure from how they handled their previous relationships. Gemma suggested that both have learned from past experiences, especially Timothée, who hasn’t navigated dating a reality TV star before. He likely wants to avoid the intense media scrutiny that can come with such a high-profile relationship.
“Timothée probably wants to maintain his professional acting career without getting swept up in Kylie’s glamorous world,” Gemma explained. “By doing a soft launch, they’ve been able to build trust and communication without the constant bombardment from the media.”
Gemma also highlighted that this strategy isn’t just for celebrities. In everyday life, it can be wise to keep a relationship under wraps if you know certain friends or family members might have negative opinions. “It’s all about communication and trust between partners,” she said. “When you both feel ready to share your relationship with the world, that’s when you should do it.”
As Kylie and Timothée continue to navigate their relationship, it’s clear that they are taking a thoughtful approach to their public image. By waiting to make their red carpet debut, they’ve shown that sometimes, less is more when it comes to love in the limelight.
