Jenner may have been glowing with pride at the 70th David di Donatello Awards, but one blink-and-you-miss-it moment had fans cringing on her behalf.
The beauty mogul was in Rome supporting boyfriend Timothée Chalamet as he received the David for Cinematic Excellence, a prestigious honor celebrating his standout performances in “Dune: Part Two” and “A Complete Unknown.” While the couple dazzled during their red carpet debut, it was a more candid moment during the ceremony that caught viewers’ attention.
As Chalamet’s name was announced and the audience erupted in applause, the couple shared a sweet celebratory kiss. But when Jenner leaned in again for a second kiss, the “Wonka” star turned away, focused instead on greeting nearby friends, leaving Jenner hanging in front of the cameras.
The awkward exchange quickly went viral, with fans calling it “embarrassing” and speculating about the momentary misread.

Despite the brief hiccup, insiders say the couple’s relationship remains strong, in part due to Chalamet’s strict boundaries around privacy. According to a source via Daily Mail, the actor has made it clear that he has no interest in reality TV life and prefers to keep their romance out of the spotlight, something Jenner reportedly respects and supports.
“Timothée made his intentions clear early [on] that he didn’t ever want to be a prop,” the source shared. “That is why he doesn’t want to be on the ‘Kardashians’ show and is only seen with Kylie at events.”
From whispering sweet nothings at basketball games to stealing the show in designer threads, Jenner and Chalamet are proving that their low-key love story might just be entering a more public and passionate chapter.
