Kylie Jenner has been locked in an ultra private romance with A-list actor Timothee Chalamet for just over year.
And the Kylie Cosmetics founder, 26, has no plans to kiss and tell on her family’s reality TV show, The Kardashians, despite their $100million Hulu deal.
A source told PEOPLE on Tuesday that Kylie — who reunited with the Wonka star in LA over the weekend — is ‘very protective’ of her relationship with Timothee, 28, and has purposely avoided bringing him up on camera.
‘Things are great with Timothée. Kylie is happy. They are both busy, but making time to see each other, especially on the weekends,’ the insider dished.
Kylie is based in Los Angeles with her two kids while Timothee has been busy shooting a Bob Dylan biopic in New Jersey since May.

But they haven’t let the distance come between them.
‘He’s been working in N.Y.C. She’s visited him and he’s also been back to L.A. some weekends. They’re making it work,’ the source insisted.
‘Kylie is protective of the relationship, but whenever she talks about him, she has a huge smile.’
They added: ‘She really likes so many things about him.’
Like its predecessor Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the Kardashian-Jenner clan’s latest series, The Kardashians, lets fans in on their rollercoaster love lives, business deals and family rifts.
The show — which is currently in its fifth season — launched in April 2022, with Variety previously revealing that the family split the incredible nine-figure salary they received from Hulu.
Khloe Kardashian, 40, has detailed the painful aftermath of Tristan Thompson’s paternity scandal, Kim Kardashian, 43, has broken down in tears over her drama-plagued divorce with Kanye West and Kourtney Kardashian, 45, has spoken candidly about her very active sex life with husband Travis Barker.
But Kylie has yet to even utter Timothee’s name on camera despite the couple going public in September 2023.
It’s been speculated that they secretly began dating in April 2023 following Kylie’s split with baby daddy Travis Scott in December 2022.
She and the 33-year-old rapper share two kids: daughter Stormi, six, and son Aire, two.
Kylie kept most of her five year on/off romance with Travis off of TV but it appears that her relationship with Chalamet is getting a full blackout.
The season five premiere of The Kardashian showed Kylie spending time abroad during Paris Fashion Week last year, where she had been spotted with Timothee at the time.

Timothee did not make any appearance in the episode, and was not mentioned throughout the season premiere as well.
Shortly before the season five premiere, fans had been convinced that Jenner gave a secret nod to Chalamet in a teaser.
The beauty mogul stood in a front of a desert-inspired backdrop – and fans speculated she was referencing to the actor’s latest movie, Dune: Part Two – which was released in theaters back in March.
However, her other family members also joined in during the promo, including mother, Kris Jenner, and her sisters.
On Friday, Kylie and Timothee were photographed together for the first time since they attended the Golden Globes in January.
The couple kept low profiles in face masks as they arrived at the TCL Chinese Theatre for a movie night.
It follows their double date in New York City in May, although they were not photographed together at the time. They joined another couple at the hotspot called Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi, as reported by PEOPLE at the time.
During the relaxing outing, an insider expressed to the outlet that Timothee was ‘really chill and so nice’ at the casual dinner.
A separate source added that both Jenner and Chalamet prefer to keep their relationship ‘low-key’ and mainly out of the public eye.
The two most likely spent time together in the Big Apple due to Timothee currently filming his upcoming movie, A Complete Unknown, on the East Coast.
Kylie and Timothee were last pictured together earlier this year in January when they attended the Golden Globes together.

During the awards ceremony, Jenner and Chalamet cozied up as they sat next to each other.
At one point, also shared a sweet kiss inside The Beverly Hilton where the festivities took place.
Shortly after their appearance together at the event, a source told Us Weekly: ‘Timothee mingled for a little bit but was otherwise right next to Kylie the whole time.’
‘They were having a very intimate conversation and shared a few kisses. It was obvious they have amazing chemistry.’
The same insider added that the lovebirds ‘couldn’t keep their hands off each other’ throughout the big night.
Sources also told Us Weekly that the couple are ‘madly in love.’
It was revealed that the Dune: Part Two actor has already met Kylie’s two children, Stormi and Aire – whom she shares with ex Travis Scott.
‘Timothee has met them in group situations where there were other family members or friends around.’
The source later added that Jenner’s family ‘adores’ the actor and stated, ‘They are all for this relationship and really hope it lasts.’
But in early March, split rumors arose when the pair were not seen together for nearly three months.
However, later that same month, insiders told DailyMail.com that the pair have not ended their relationship and explained the lack of them appearing in the spotlight was to ‘protect’ their romance.

‘Timothee didn’t like all the attention he got with Kylie during the Golden Globes and their kiss took away from the reason he was there.’
The source said, ‘His career is taking off and he wants to protect it and let it thrive based on his talent – not who he is or isn’t dating. He also wants to protect his relationship with Kylie.’
‘They are still dating. But Timothee has decided to keep a low profile with Kylie, mainly because he wants Dune 2 to get all the attention and for the movie to speak for itself,’ the insider added at the time.
The source expressed that the Kylie Cosmetics founder ‘knows that he thinks the world of her, and she gets the person that he is personally and the person he wants to be professionally.’
‘Maybe a year from now when Dune 2 starts getting nominated for things, he will be more relaxed about being out with her and attending more red carpets together. But as of now, he is keeping the relationship close to his chest and Kylie is fine with that.’
Last month in April, rumors began to swirl on social media that The Kardashians star was expecting her first child with Chalamet.
Comedian Daniel Tosh had alleged during an episode on his podcast that Kylie was pregnant and claimed she revealed the news while filming Hulu’s The Kardashians at a market in Malibu.
However, a source shut down the speculation and claims to DailyMail.com, stating that the rumors were ‘100% false.’
