Did Kylie Jenner’s birthday hint trouble with Timothée Chalamet?

Kylie Jenner’s 28th birthday has set the internet ablaze with rumours of a split from Timothée Chalamet, as eagle-eyed fans noticed the actor’s conspicuous absence from her celebrations. Known for her extravagant parties and carefully curated public image, Kylie marked her big day surrounded by close friends and family, yet one of the most talked-about details was who wasn’t there.

While Kylie shared glamorous snaps and videos from the festivities, Chalamet, her partner of nearly two years, was nowhere in sight. More telling for some was his Instagram activity on the day. Instead of a loving tribute, the Dune star posted an unrelated black-and-white image of Muhammad Ali in the boxing ring with the caption “Dream Big.” Followers immediately dissected the post, speculating whether it was a cryptic message or simply a poorly timed coincidence.

Kylie’s own posts stirred the pot further. In the days surrounding her birthday, she uploaded a carousel of tracks with heartbreak-heavy themes, including Jeff Buckley’s soulful Lover, You Should’ve Come Over and Labi Siffre’s bittersweet Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying. Many interpreted these as thinly veiled hints at trouble in paradise.

Despite the frenzy, some argue the couple’s lack of public display could simply be a result of conflicting schedules. Chalamet is reportedly in Budapest filming Dune: Part Three, a project expected to keep him tied up for months. This wouldn’t be the first time distance has fuelled rumours for celebrity couples.

Still, the silence from both sides has only intensified the whispers. Kylie and Timothée have been a constant topic of fascination since their relationship became public at Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour in 2023. Now, their romance is once again making headlines, but for reasons neither has confirmed nor denied. For now, fans are left reading between the lines, wondering if this was a missed birthday or the first sign of an ending.
