Hollywood’s newest ‘It’ couple, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet, just had their first embarrassed PDA moment caught on camera.
On May 7, 2025, the lovebirds attended the prestigious 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome, where Chalamet was honored with the David for Cinematic Excellence for his 2024 film A Complete Unknown.
But while it was supposed to be his big night, a minor on-camera slip between the pair ended up stealing the spotlight.
In a now-viral clip circulating on social media, the actor jumped up excitedly as his name was announced. He leaned in for a quick celebratory kiss with Kylie but unknowingly dodged her second attempt as he turned to shake hands with people seated behind them.
The video also showed the reality star clapping and cheering for her man after the little hiccup. Still, eagle-eyed fans couldn’t help but notice the subtle flicker of embarrassment on her face as she smiled through the moment.
Fans Hilariously Mock The Couple’s Viral Kiss On Social Media
The online community wasted no time taking sarcastic jabs at Timothée and Kylie, calling their award show kiss painfully awkward and cringeworthy. Several such comments on a reddit post read,
“I dunno what it is but she seems so awkward at events with him. Makes me feel kinda sorry for her!”
“Her going for a second kiss and not getting it is hilariously awkward”.
“That hurt me deep in my soul“.
“Her going for a 2nd kiss and not getting it 💀”
“I laughed at the awkwardness”.
“It almost looks like she was going in for a hug too. Idk… like how awkward”.
“As long as he’s in the spotlight she’ll cling to it for sure. Once he’s done with fake people and wants to settle down she’s gone”.
Kylie And Timothée Go Red Carpet Official With Their Romance
That same night, the couple made their stunning red carpet debut after two years of dating.
The duo turned heads in matching all-black ensembles. Kylie wowed in an embossed, figure-hugging Schiaparelli mermaid gown, complete with spaghetti straps, a plunging neckline, and a soft, flowing train.
Meanwhile, Timothée opted for a custom velvet suit layered over a satin black shirt, finished with a boutonniere and bold black buttons on his jacket.
In paparazzi-captured images from the event, The Kardashians star and her beau were seen adorably holding hands as they hit the red carpet. At one point, Timothée gently rested his hand on Kylie’s stomach while she held his hand, both flashing soft smiles as they posed for the cameras.
Kylie and Timothée first sparked dating rumors in April 2023 and went public with their romance by September that year. Since then, the duo has mostly kept things private.
Earlier, on May 5, 2025, the reality TV star hit the iconic Met Gala steps solo, while Chalamet was spotted courtside, watching the Knicks pull off a 108-105 comeback win over the Celtics in Game 1 of the second-round playoffs.
Their separate outings had fans buzzing with questions about the state of their relationship. But with their recent red carpet debut, it’s clear Jenner and Chalamet are still going strong.
One thing’s for sure: whether they’re dodging kisses or debuting on the red carpet, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet know how to keep fans talking and steal the spotlight.
