Asked whether past controversies, including false rumors about being pregnant as a teenager, made her more guarded. The model admitted that her history in the spotlight has pushed her to establish firmer boundaries.

Fame forces Kylie Jenner to be protective of her romance with Chalamet
The mogul acknowledged that fame has defined her life since childhood, noting that being thrust into reality TV at age nine fundamentally influenced who she has become. After years of intense media attention and navigating motherhood with former partner Travis Scott, she consciously stepped back from constant public visibility.
Kylie Jenner said those experiences taught her the importance of keeping certain parts of her life, including her romance with Timothée Chalamet, away from speculation. “I know that fame has absolutely shaped me,” she reflected. “I’m just navigating through life.”

Her relationship with Dune‘s actor, which began three months after her 2023 split from Scott, has only deepened her desire for privacy. While Kylie has avoided speaking publicly about the actor, those close to her say the relationship has brought out a more relaxed, grounded version of herself.
A source previously told Us Weekly that her family has “never seen her so happy,” adding that she feels she can be fully authentic with Chalamet in ways she couldn’t in past relationships.
