Insiders say Timothée Chalamet's obsession with Leonardo DiCaprio could strain Kylie Jenner romance

Timothée Chalamet has captivated audiences with his acting skills, which many consider rare today.

As his career flourishes with diverse projects, his personal life is also thriving. In 2023, he began a romantic relationship with beauty mogul Kylie Jenner, and the couple has kept their relationship relatively private.

However, recent reports suggest that his top priority, his admiration for Leonardo DiCaprio, could impact his relationship with Jenner. Both Chalamet and DiCaprio share similar paths to success, having achieved their breakthroughs at a young age while working alongside A-list stars. Chalamet's rise began with his role as Tom Cooper in Interstellar, while DiCaprio gained early recognition as Arnie Grape in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.

According to a source close to Chalamet, he has been openly influenced by DiCaprio and has sought his advice, though this admiration may have a downside. Chalamet has closely studied DiCaprio since his teenage years and made it a point to honor him as he established himself as a leading man.

As Chalamet prioritizes his career with ambitions of surpassing his idol, this focus could strain his growing relationship with Jenner. The source noted that Chalamet, like DiCaprio, is selective about his projects, striving to build a global fan base while maintaining a certain type of movie star persona.

DiCaprio's dedication to his career has often come at the expense of his personal life, leading to few long-term relationships. The insider remarked that this solitary life at the top has kept DiCaprio from starting a family or having a significant personal life beyond his luxurious vacations and environmental work. They added that as much as things seem positive between Chalamet and Jenner, Jenner is likely to observe where Chalamet's true priorities lie.

The source further suggested that Chalamet could face similar challenges if he continues on this path, emphasizing that the couple must support each other and find a balance between their professional and personal lives.
