Kylie Jenner has apparently demanded her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet stop filming sex scenes.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and beauty mogul, 27, has been dating the Hollywood actor, 29, since 2023.
Whilst they’ve largely remained private about their relationship, in recent months the couple have been spotted attending a string of events together including several awards shows.
Timothée, best known for starring in Call Me by Your Name, the Dune franchise and Wonka, will next appear alongside Gwyneth Paltrow in Marty Supreme.
The sports adventure comedy drama follows Marty Mauser, ‘a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness’.
Chalamet plays a ping-pong prodigy who has an affair with his rival’s wife.
Last month Gwyneth, 52, spoke candidly about the many sex scenes in the film, which came after photos emerged of the pair on set making out for steamy scenes.
She told Vanity Fair magazine: ‘I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie. There’s a lot – a lot.’
After the comments were made, Kylie reportedly requested her boyfriend avoid intimate scenes on camera after his latest project ‘sparked significant tension’.
A source close to her actor boyfriend told The US Sun Kylie ‘isn’t comfortable with him being intimate on screen’.
They said she was ‘furious after reading Paltrow’s comments and has had heated discussions with Chalamet’.
‘Timothee has no problem being intimate in movies, but Kylie doesn’t like it,’ they said.
‘She doesn’t appreciate all the details and doesn’t want him to film any more sex scenes moving forward.’
However, the actor ‘wants to explore everything as an actor and artist’.
‘It’s the biggest moment of tension between them since they started dating,’ they added.
During the interview with Vanity Fair, Gwyneth also revealed she asked an on-set intimacy coordinator to step back.
‘There’s now something called an intimacy coordinator, which I didn’t even know existed,’ she said.
‘Back in my day, you just got naked, got in the bed, and the camera rolled!’
The actress continued, saying she and Chalamet didn’t feel the need to rely on the coordinator in their love scenes: ‘We said, “I think we’re good. You can step a little bit back.”’
‘I don’t know how it is for kids who are starting out, but…if someone is like, “Okay, and then he’s going to put his hand here”, I would feel, as an artist, very stifled by that.’
Her comments sparked backlash from many, who questioned her shutting down the importance of intimacy co-ordinators on set.
This movie also marks Gwyneth’s return to the big screen marks after a five-year acting hiatus, something she reportedly only agreed to because of Timothee himself.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, an inside source revealed that the actress, whose last role was in Avengers: Endgame in 2019, only signed on to Marty Supreme because her 20-year-old daughter, Apple, has a ‘crush’ on the Dune actor.
‘Gwyneth signed on to co-star with Timothee in Marty Supreme thanks to her daughter, who has had a crush on the Dune star for years,’ they said, claiming the actress was ‘convinced’ after a ‘pleading’ Apple discovered Timothee is acting and producing the film.
‘After reading it and loving it, despite having no major wish to act right now, she was convinced by Apple, who intends to be on set as much as possible.’
Metro has contacted representatives for Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner for comment.
