Hollywood heartthrob Timothée Chalamet has ignited fresh breakup rumors with Kylie Jenner after reportedly dodging a backstage rendezvous at Coachella — all to avoid a face-off with her ex and baby daddy, rapper Travis Scott.
While fans were expecting sweet moments between the Wonka star and the beauty mogul during the music festival that birthed Jenner and Scott’s romance years ago, according to Radar Online, insiders reveal that the Oscar-nominated actor made a swift exit when it came time to head backstage with Jenner and her daughter Stormi. His reason? Steering clear of an uncomfortable encounter with Scott, who was fresh off a blazing set.
Beef Brews Over Beats and Bars
The root of the tension appears to be more lyrical than literal. Chalamet, 29, has reportedly never met Scott, 33, in person — but the bad blood seems to be bubbling thanks to a not-so-subtle diss in Scott’s 2023 track Meltdown. The lyrics, which reference Chalamet’s iconic role in Wonka, include the lines:
"Chocolate AP and chocolate the Vs, got the Willy Wonka factory / Burn an athlete like it's calories, find another flame hot as me."
While the song dropped just months after Chalamet and Jenner were first spotted together post-Paris Fashion Week, sources claim Scott believed the pairing was a “joke.” Clearly, it wasn’t — but that hasn’t cooled the feud.
A Coachella Flashback With a Twist
Coachella has always been more than just a music festival for Kylie Jenner — it’s where she met Scott back in 2017, kicking off a romance that led to the birth of their daughter Stormi in 2018 and son Aire in 2022. But their on-again, off-again relationship ended for good in late 2022 amid allegations of Scott’s unfaithfulness — claims the rapper has denied.
Though the exes now maintain what’s described as a “good co-parenting relationship,” with Scott quietly spending time with his kids, the emotional terrain remains sensitive. Sources say Jenner had hoped for a smooth blend between her past and present, but Chalamet’s backstage retreat may have spoken louder than any rap lyric.
The Kids Aren’t Calling Him Dad
While Jenner reportedly sees a long-term future with Chalamet, insiders hint the actor may never be more than “mom’s boyfriend” in the eyes of Stormi and Aire. “Stormi is a huge daddy’s girl,” one source said, adding that no matter how well Chalamet fits into Kylie’s life, he won’t replace Travis in his children’s hearts.
Still, the kids are said to like Chalamet — just not in a fatherly role.
Enter Kris Jenner, the Mastermind Momager
If there’s one person rooting for this relationship to work — breakup fears be damned — it’s Kris Jenner. The Kardashian matriarch reportedly sees major marketing potential in Chalamet, and is said to be pushing for an on-camera proposal, wedding specials, and a full-fledged brand partnership featuring the actor.
“Kris is determined to have her way,” a source revealed. “She’s already envisioning a televised event, sponsorships, merchandise — the works. The wheels of her mind never stop spinning.”
With Coachella stirring up more than just musical vibes, all eyes are now on Kylie and Timothée. Will this Hollywood fairy tale find its way past backstage exits and rap feuds — or melt down faster than a chocolate bar in the desert sun?

At Coachella, Kylie Jenner was the life of the party—dancing and initiating affection—while Timothée Chalamet seemed more reserved, offering polite smiles and minimal reciprocation. A body language expert noted Kylie was "doing all the heavy lifting". Do you think body language… pic.twitter.com/sC3WmA1GiX
