Notably Absent from Kris Jenner’s Star-Studded Birthday Bash
As Kris Jenner rang in her 70th birthday with a lavish party at Jeff Bezos’s Beverly Hills mansion, fans and media outlets were quick to notice a glaring omission from the guest list: Timothée was nowhere in sight.

According to The Daily Mail, insiders claimed it was “trouble in paradise.” One source alleged that the actor had ended things with the beauty mogul and that it had already happened before.
“He is filming quite a bit, and she feels that she has to chase him. She is putting in the work more than him,” the insider divulged.

Breakup Rumors Quickly Debunked by Reliable Outlets
However, other outlets were quick to refute those claims. PEOPLE reported that the pair were still very much an item, citing multiple sources close to the couple.
Not only are they still together, the sources said, but Timothée and Kylie are doing “great.” His absence from Kris’s party wasn’t a red flag — it was due to work obligations. The actor was in Europe filming “Dune: Part Three” at the time.
Despite their demanding schedules, the couple reportedly makes an effort to see each other every few weeks. With Timothée set to get the holidays off, the two are said to be making plans together.

The source added that Kylie visited him on set in New York City and that they met up in London while he was shooting “Dune.” “They’re really in love,” the insider insisted.
