Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner recently turned heads with their public display of affection at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California. The couple, who have been linked since 2023, attended the match on Sunday, and their courtside interactions quickly went viral. Fans were curious about their conversation, and now, a forensic lip reader has decoded their exchange, revealing an interesting dynamic—Chalamet seemed more engrossed in the match than his girlfriend.
Chalamet Prioritizes the Game Over PDA
According to forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman, Chalamet appeared deeply focused on the ongoing match. When Jenner leaned in for a kiss, the Dune star reportedly told her, “Wait a minute, love,” keeping his eyes fixed on the court. The Kardashians star continued to caress his face, prompting her to ask for “eye contact.” Chalamet responded with “Go on,” followed by “Yum, yep.”
Despite their affectionate moments, Chalamet seemed visibly uncomfortable at one point during the game between Denmark’s Holger Rune and France’s Ugo Humbert. The Wonka actor leaned back in his seat, exclaiming, “Ow!” and grimacing. Concerned, Jenner immediately asked, “Are you okay?” according to Freeman’s analysis.

In response, Jenner began rubbing Chalamet’s stomach, seemingly trying to comfort him. However, the actor assured her that he was fine, saying, “No problem, I’m good, don’t worry about it.” Even as she continued the soothing gesture, Chalamet urged her to “watch the point.”
Following his lead, Jenner shifted her attention to the match and took photos, later sharing them on her Instagram Story. Chalamet remained engrossed in the game, cheering on Humbert with “atta Ugo” and critiquing a play, calling it a “bad miss.”
While their courtside interactions showcased their chemistry, it was evident that Chalamet’s love for tennis momentarily took precedence over their romantic gestures.
A source close to Jenner previously revealed to PEOPLE that she enjoys supporting Chalamet at his events. "She knows that his career is so important to him. She wants to be by his side for it all," the source shared.
Regarding their relationship, the insider added that Jenner is "the happiest" she has ever been. "They are very serious. Everyone in her family loves him," the source noted.
