Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner enjoyed a tennis date at the BNP Paribas Indian Wells Open, but their cozy courtside interactions stole the show. While Jenner, 27, leaned in for affection, the “Dune” star, 29, was more focused on the match. According to forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman, Chalamet softly asked Jenner to “wait a minute, love” when she requested a kiss. As the beauty mogul caressed his face, she asked for “eye contact,” and Chalamet playfully responded, “Go on… yum, yep.”
The pair’s affectionate exchange was caught on camera as they cozied up throughout the match between Holger Rune and Ugo Humbert. However, Chalamet’s attention remained locked on the court while Jenner playfully sought more interaction.
Chalamet’s Painful Moment and Jenner’s Concern
During the match, Chalamet appeared to experience sudden discomfort. Freeman claims the actor muttered “Ow!” to which Jenner immediately turned her attention toward him and asked if he was okay. Chalamet, seemingly brushing off the moment, reassured her with “No problem, I’m good, don’t worry about it.” The Kylie Cosmetics founder responded with a gentle stomach rub, and Chalamet quickly refocused on the game.
Freeman also noted that Chalamet remained engaged in the action, even instructing Jenner to “watch the point” while she snapped photos for her Instagram Stories. He was also overheard cheering for Humbert with an enthusiastic “atta Ugo!” and commenting on a missed shot with “a bad miss.”
The Couple’s Recent Public Appearances
Chalamet and Jenner have been making waves with their public appearances. Just a week before their tennis date, the couple attended the Academy Awards together, where Jenner supported Chalamet’s Hollywood success. They later turned heads at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, where they packed on the PDA for photographers.
Jenner has been increasingly present at Chalamet’s big events, including the BAFTAs 2025, where they subtly matched Cartier rings, sparking engagement rumors. Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner, Kylie’s sister, was also in attendance at the BNP Paribas Open, sharing glimpses of the event on social media.
Their Relationship Timeline
Jenner and Chalamet first sparked dating rumors in 2023, making their romance official later that year. Since then, their relationship has been a constant topic of interest, with fans eagerly analyzing their every move. Whether it’s glamorous award show appearances or casual sporty dates, the couple continues to captivate the public’s attention.
With their recent tennis outing, Chalamet and Jenner proved they can balance romance and personal interests. While Jenner craved attention, Chalamet remained dedicated to the game—a dynamic that keeps their relationship intriguing to fans worldwide.
