Family drama may be brewing in the world of Hollywood’s most unexpected couple. Pauline Chalamet, the sister of Dune star Timothée Chalamet, has seemingly taken yet another jab at his billionaire girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, in a recent social media post that has left fans speculating about tension between the two.
While neither Pauline nor Timothée have openly discussed Kylie in depth, this latest move has fueled rumors that not everyone in the Chalamet family is thrilled about the actor’s high-profile romance.
Pauline, 32, an actress and writer best known for her role in The Sex Lives of College Girls, has always maintained a relatively low profile compared to her younger brother. However, in recent months, fans have noticed what appears to be subtle (and not-so-subtle) digs at Kylie Jenner.
In her latest post, Pauline shared a cryptic message that many believe was aimed directly at Kylie. While the exact wording of the post remains open to interpretation, social media was quick to connect the dots, pointing out how her comments seemed to shade Kylie’s extravagant lifestyle and billionaire status.
One fan wrote, “Pauline really isn’t holding back with these Kylie slights. She’s making it clear she’s not here for this relationship.”
Another speculated, “It’s giving ‘I don’t want my little brother dating a Kardashian-Jenner’ energy.”
This isn’t the first time Pauline has seemingly expressed her disapproval of Timothée’s relationship with the reality star and beauty mogul. Earlier this year, she liked a post that subtly criticized the Kardashians' influence on Hollywood, sending fans into a frenzy.
She has also remained noticeably silent when it comes to acknowledging her brother’s romance, a stark contrast to how she has supported his past relationships.
Sources close to the Chalamet family claim that Pauline has concerns over Timothée dating Kylie, particularly given the vast difference in their lifestyles.
While Timothée is known for his indie film choices and private, artsy persona, Kylie represents the epitome of mainstream celebrity culture, complete with billion-dollar beauty empires, luxury-filled social media posts, and reality TV fame.
“Pauline is very protective of Timothée,” a source shared. “She sees him as this serious actor who has worked hard to create a name for himself outside of the typical Hollywood machine. Kylie’s world is so different from that, and it just doesn’t align with how Pauline sees Timothée’s life and career.”
When news first broke that Timothée and Kylie were dating in mid-2023, fans were taken by surprise. The relationship seemed to come out of nowhere, pairing an Oscar-nominated actor known for his roles in indie films with a reality TV star-turned-beauty mogul.
Since then, the couple has made several public appearances, including their highly talked-about PDA-filled moments at Beyoncé’s concert and the Golden Globe Awards. Despite their growing presence together, insiders claim that not everyone in Timothée’s inner circle is fully supportive of the romance.
Pauline’s latest social media move only adds to speculation that there may be tension between the Chalamet family and Kylie. Whether this is a case of a protective older sister not fully embracing her brother’s high-profile relationship or a deeper personal dislike remains to be seen.
As expected, social media was quick to react to Pauline’s possible shade. Many fans took to Twitter and Instagram to discuss the ongoing tension, with opinions divided on the matter.
Some fans supported Pauline, believing she’s just looking out for her brother:
“Pauline is just saying what we’re all thinking. Timmy and Kylie make no sense.”
“She has a right to be skeptical. This relationship feels so random.”
Others defended Kylie and questioned why Pauline was getting involved:
“Why does Pauline care so much? Timothée is a grown man who can make his own choices.”
“If Timmy’s happy, that’s all that should matter.”
Neither Kylie, Timothée, nor Pauline have addressed the ongoing speculation directly. However, if Pauline’s past actions are anything to go by, this likely won’t be the last time she subtly weighs in on her brother’s love life.
For now, Timothée and Kylie appear to be going strong, despite the external skepticism. Whether or not family tensions will play a role in their relationship moving forward remains unknown, but one thing is certain—fans will be keeping a close eye on Pauline’s next move.
