Gwyneth Paltrow didn’t realise Timothée Chalamet was dating Kylie Jenner

Gwyneth Paltrow has sparked headlines after revealing her candid thoughts on Timothée Chalamet’s relationship with Kylie Jenner, describing it as “punk rock” while admitting she hadn’t realised who he was dating at first.

Speaking in her British Vogue cover interview, Paltrow said she thought it was “a cool choice to go out with a young woman who has two kids,” calling the relationship “kind of punk rock.” She then added, “But my point is I didn’t know it was Kylie Jenner.”

The comment quickly went viral online, with fans praising her honesty while others debated her surprise at the pairing. The Iron Man star has a history of being refreshingly direct in interviews, often sharing unexpected takes on celebrity culture and modern relationships.

Chalamet and Jenner first went public with their relationship in 2023 after months of speculation, appearing together at a Beyoncé concert and several red-carpet events. Their relationship has remained relatively private, though it has been the subject of constant discussion across social media, with fans dissecting everything from their red-carpet chemistry to Jenner’s recent return to the spotlight as a mother of two.

Following Paltrow’s Vogue comments, fans flooded Reddit and X, with many calling her description “the most Gwyneth thing ever.” One user wrote, “Only Gwyneth could describe dating Kylie Jenner as punk rock.” Another joked that the actress seemed “as surprised as the rest of us when that relationship first broke.”

Despite the humour online, some users pointed out that Paltrow’s perspective highlighted how unusual it still seems for Hollywood stars to date reality TV figures, particularly those with children. Others praised her for not making it sound judgemental but instead refreshingly positive, with one fan commenting, “She made it sound cool, not condescending, that’s rare in celebrity interviews.”

As for Chalamet and Jenner, the couple have yet to comment on Paltrow’s remarks, though fans are already calling it one of the most unexpectedly entertaining celebrity crossovers of the year.
