Social media was briefly abuzz with false claims about celebrity couple Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner allegedly ending their relationship, highlighting once again how quickly misinformation can spread online despite clear evidence to the contrary.
The rumors began when a parody account named HoopsCrave posted on X (formerly Twitter) on February 20 that the high-profile pair were “breaking up after three years together.” The post quickly generated reactions ranging from skepticism to humorous comments, with some users questioning why Jenner’s relationship status would warrant headlines at all.
Multiple X users immediately expressed doubts about the report’s authenticity, pointing to recent public sightings of the couple together. Their suspicions were well-founded, as the account posting the claim is clearly labeled as a parody account not affiliated with the legitimate entertainment news source PopCrave. A context card attached to the post explicitly contradicted the breakup claim, noting that Chalamet and Jenner had been photographed kissing on a date just three days earlier, on February 17.
Verified reports confirm that the actor and beauty mogul remain in a committed relationship. The couple has increasingly stepped into the public eye in recent months after initially keeping their relationship relatively private when they first began dating.
Their relationship milestone was publicly acknowledged at the Critics Choice Awards in January 2026, where Chalamet won Best Actor for his performance in “Marty Supreme,” a period drama set in 1950s New York following the journey of a table tennis player. During his acceptance speech, Chalamet made a rare public reference to his personal life, thanking his “partner of three years” for “our foundation.” Cameras captured Jenner smiling in the audience and mouthing “I love you” in response.
According to Vogue’s January 11 coverage, the couple’s relationship has been marked by several notable public appearances that have delighted fans. Their courtship became public knowledge when they attended Beyoncé’s birthday concert together in 2023, followed by affectionate appearances at the US Open final.
The couple has since established themselves as a fixture at major entertainment industry events, appearing together at the Golden Globes, Oscars, and Critics Choice Awards. Their relationship has also taken on an international dimension, with joint appearances in Paris, Berlin, and London during Chalamet’s press tours, often sporting coordinated outfits that have drawn fashion media attention.
Industry observers note that the couple represents an interesting merger between Hollywood’s prestigious acting circles and the reality television-turned-business empire world that the Jenner-Kardashian family has built. Chalamet has established himself as one of his generation’s most respected actors with critically acclaimed performances in films like “Call Me By Your Name,” “Dune,” and now “Marty Supreme,” while Jenner has transformed her reality TV fame into a billion-dollar cosmetics enterprise.
The false breakup rumor demonstrates the continued challenge of misinformation in celebrity news reporting, where parody or satirical accounts can sometimes be mistaken for legitimate news sources in the fast-moving social media environment, even when clearly labeled as such.
