Ever since rumors of a possible relationship between Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet began circulating in April, the internet has been abuzz with speculation. Recently, the reality star, 26, and Oscar nominee, 27, were seen sharing a passionate kiss at Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on September 4th.
This public display of affection appears to confirm the long-speculated romance between the Kylie Cosmetics mogul and Dune actor. However, their recent sighting is not the only thing that has fans talking. Recently, video footage of Chalamet smoking a cigarette at the star-studded concert (where he was seen hanging out with Jenner) has caused some X (formerly Twitter) users to express their criticism.
The concert was held in an enclosed space, which led to concerns about Chalamet’s behavior. Other fans on TikTok found old photos of Jenner holding cigarettes as well, making them both subject to backlash.

Timothée Chalamet & Kylie Jenner Face Backlash After Smoking Footage Emerges Online
“I fear i have entered my timothee chalamet ick era because WHY ARE YOU SMOKING IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE,” one user tweeted along with an image of Chalamet smoking and getting cozy with Jenner at the show. Another added: “Ew, yuck. And did he just flick his ashes on the people below?”
Someone else chimed in: “Timothee chalamet smoking a cig at Beyoncé’s birthday show for her to inhale does not sit right with me.” (As seen on the SoFi Stadium website, smoking is prohibited when inside).
Others were just in awe after seeing Chalamet and Jenner kiss and embrace each other. "No amount of kissing is going to convince me they’re an actual couple i’m sorry," one wrote as another noted: "I genuinely just can't believe this."
Some also thought of Jenner's ex Travis Scott (whom she shares 5-year-old daughter Stormi and 1-year-old son Aire with), and how he might react to the footage.
"I cant wait to hear the Travis diss track," one tweeted as someone else replied: "Welp I hope Travis moves on and finds someone else as well. I wish them both the best."
In April, rumors of a romantic liaison between Jenner and Chalamet ignited a social media frenzy. Their subsequent appearances at Fashion Week events and on various dates only served to fuel the flames of speculation. Now, they have been seen together at this Beyoncé concert as well, making these rumors seem more convincing.
Jenner's most recent romantic partner was rapper Scott, 32, who she has had an on-and-off relationship with, and they have two children together. In contrast, Chalamet has been linked to a number of celebrities, such as Lily Rose-Depp, Eiza González and Lourdes Leon, according to reports.
