Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner reunited in Budapest on Tuesday, August 19, after several weeks apart juggling their busy lives. The couple was seen together at a local coffee shop, enjoying a quiet moment in the Hungarian capital during Chalamet’s filming of Dune: Messiah.
A Warm Encounter at a Budapest Café
The pair’s appearance at the café marked their first public meeting in weeks, as Chalamet’s demanding schedule has kept him filming both in Prague and Budapest. Fans were treated to a candid photo in which Jenner smiled warmly at the camera while Chalamet held up a peace sign. Observers noted his tucked-in shirt and baseball cap, sparking speculation that he shaved his head for his film role. Café staff described the couple as friendly and kind, sharing that their presence caused a buzz among employees.
Managing Distance and Demands
Despite the physical distance caused by their hectic schedules, Jenner and Chalamet have maintained their connection. According to an insider,
“Even though Kylie has a private jet, the flight is still 12 hours.”
They acknowledged Jenner’s many responsibilities as a mother and worker in Los Angeles, alongside Chalamet’s grueling workload with little downtime. The source added,
“They FaceTime most days. They miss each other.”
Prior to this reunion, the couple was last seen together in July during a romantic escape in Saint-Tropez, France, with Jenner attending events including Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding in Venice before meeting Chalamet for the weekend.
Balancing Careers and Intimate Moments
The couple’s relationship has required careful coordination amid constant travel and work commitments. Chalamet is currently engaged in a prolonged and intense shoot for the upcoming Dune: Messiah, but makes time whenever he can see Jenner. An insider explained,
“They only have a few days together before he starts filming in Prague. But they’re used to this kind of schedule.”
The same source said the Saint-Tropez getaway was important for Chalamet to “relax and reset,” knowing that
“the next few months will be exhausting.”
Jenner has shown support during Chalamet’s professional milestones, attending his red carpet debut with him at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome in May 2025. The event honored Chalamet with the David for Cinematic Excellence. Their relationship began publicly in April 2023 and was confirmed later that year during Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour stop in Los Angeles.
Private Moments in the Public Eye
Although both have remained private about their relationship, Jenner once shared to Harpers Bazaar her preference for understated fashion choices when accompanying Chalamet at award shows. She said,
“A black dress is…not too attention-grabbing in the best way.”
Their ability to maintain a balance between their high-profile lives and intimate moments highlights their dedication to making their relationship work despite challenging circumstances.
