“An Instagram story from Timothée Chalamet confirms that he and Kylie Jenner have sadly split.”

The claim that Timothée Chalamet announced a split from Kylie Jenner via an Instagram story is entirely false. The rumor began in May 2026 when a screenshot of what appeared to be an Instagram story from Chalamet—stating, 'Me and Kylie have sadly split, but remain good friends'—was shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). Multiple reputable news organizations, including The Sporting News, The Times of India, and Yahoo Entertainment, investigated the viral post and confirmed that the image was a fabrication. There is no record of such a statement on Chalamet's official social media accounts, and the viral image was identified as a parody or hoax that misled millions of users. The couple has continued to be associated with one another in public reports following the circulation of the fake post.
