What We Found

The claim that Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner have split based on an Instagram story is false. The viral image of the alleged Instagram story was a fabrication that circulated on social media, and multiple reputable news outlets have confirmed the post was fake.

Evidence

The claim originated from a viral social media post, specifically on the platform X (formerly Twitter), which featured a screenshot of an alleged Instagram story from Timothée Chalamet stating, 'Me and Kylie have sadly split, but remain good friends.' Multiple independent news organizations, including Yahoo News and The Times of India, investigated the claim and confirmed that the screenshot was a fabrication. There is no evidence that such a post was ever made by Chalamet. Furthermore, the couple has been observed together in public following the circulation of these rumors, and no official representatives for either party have confirmed a breakup. The viral post has been widely identified as a piece of celebrity misinformation intended to generate engagement.

What's Missing or Misleading

The original claim failed to mention that the source of the 'announcement' was a viral, unverified screenshot rather than an official statement from the individuals involved.
