Several critics zeroed in on Chalamet’s slim frame next to the Khy owner. One user said, “Tim, workout, you need a man's body.”
“She is more masculine than Timmy,” another added.
“He is so not masculine. Skinny young boy. His fame is attractive. She got the A-list actor,” read a third comment.
Others went a step further, with one stating, “Tim, you have a 12-year-old boy's body. Lift some weights.”
Amid the criticism, many other fans rallied behind the couple. “Love this couple!” one supporter wrote, while another added, “They look happy.”

Chalamet responded by liking the post and leaving a comment filled with orange hearts of his own. This marked the first time either of them had commented on each other’s Instagram posts since they began dating in early 2023.
The subtle exchange left fans in a frenzy, with one asking, “When is the wedding?”
However, the comment section saw renewed criticism aimed at Jenner as several netizens attacked her appearance.

One said, “Doesn’t she get tired of looking at her plastic works?”
“She looks pretty, but nothing like she did before all her surgeries. It’s sad she felt the need to do so much,” another wrote.
“She looks like a blowup plastic doll,” a harsher comment read.

Others accused her of seeking attention, with remarks like, “Why is she always looking at herself?” and “Scream, I need attention without saying a word.”
Despite the constant scrutiny, the couple is going strong and remains focused on balancing love and ambition.

A source told People Magazine that while their relationship hasn’t been easy, especially during periods of long-distance, the two are committed to making it work.
“They are making their careers work, and their relationship work at the same time,” the source said, noting that Chalamet spent much of late 2025 filming Dune: Part Three, while Jenner traveled to see him whenever possible.
“They spent a lot of time apart, but the past few weeks have made up for it. Still, it’s not the easiest relationship. They are both incredibly focused on their careers and ambitious.”

His name was spotted alongside Kylie and her kids, alongside other family members.
