It’s about time Kylie Jenner and her beau Timothée Chalamet were spotted at a red carpet with one another – but an expert has lifted the lid on why they waited so long
Hollywood couple Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have been dating for the past two years – but the couple have waited for two years to ‘hard launch’.
Despite their unlikely relationship, the influencer and actor seem to be going strong and have been pictured multiple times at festivals, basketball games and more, it was only Wednesday that the pair went ‘official’ on the red carpet at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards.
According to multi-award-winning sex and relationships coach Gemma Nice, the couple waited this long to hard launch their relationship for a solid reason.
Speaking exclusively to Not On The High Street, Gemma revealed that delaying a hard launch can relieve the pressure on the relationship to succeed.
She said: “It’s healthy to hold off on a hard launch because it also gives you the time to test the waters and the relationship to grow, especially coming out of the ‘honeymoon’ period.
“With regards to Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet coming out onto the red carpet together, they have given their relationship a complete soft launch, and this is to protect them as a couple away from prying eyes.
“As they are in the public eye, they are aware of the stories that may be written about them and may want to avoid them. Some celebrities like to keep their relationships out of the media, and this may be the case for Kylie and Timothée, keeping work as work and their private life private.
“They will have most likely come to this agreement together and communicated this between themselves. They don’t need prying eyes or media attention as they are both more than well aware of the pressures it can bring.”
The pair had not adopted this approach in their former relationships and may have learned their lesson after being stung before.
Gemma continued: “Timothée hasn’t done this with previous relationships because he hasn’t dealt with dating a reality TV star before, and probably wants to avoid media scrutiny for it.
“He most likely wants to maintain a professional acting career and not get swept up in Kylie’s high-profile life. Doing a soft launch of the relationship has given them time to build trust and communication, and not be bombarded by the media.
“He wants to be recognised by the world for his professional work rather than who he is dating, while also keeping his relationship with Kylie out of the spotlight to protect them both.
“This can certainly be the case in everyday relationships, too. Suppose you have a family member or a friend who you know is going to comment or make nasty remarks about your relationship.
“In that case, it’s best to keep it hidden from them until you’re ready, so you don’t get caught up in the negative energy from this specific person. It’s all about communication and trust within each other, and when you both feel ready to tell the world.”
