Kylie Jenner’s ‘industrial strength’ flirt is ruined by Timothée Chalamet’s ‘inauthentic, distracted’ kiss, expert says
KYLIE Jenner and Timothée Chalamet’s kissing spree at their first public outing as a couple has been labeled “forced.”
According to a body language expert, Kylie’s smooching efforts, pictured in a packed stadium, also fell short when the actor looked away.
Kylie, 26, and Timothée, 27, packed a PDA in the VIP section of Beyoncé’s concert in Inglewood, California, on Monday night.
At first glance, the twenty-something couple looked smitten – but an expert reveals there’s more to the pics than meets the eye.
In an exclusive interview, Judi James told The U.S. Sun: “Kylie decided to confirm this relationship.
“She tried to do this via a series of steamy-looking PDAs.
“There were some industrial-strength flirting signals from Kylie.
“She looked blissfully proud of this relationship and keen to show it off.
“But their underlying signals together lacked synchronicity. It did not look authentic.
“Timothée’s distracted kiss was the most impactful sign that he might not be as full-on as Kylie.
“They locked lips but he looked away — with his eyes open, he fixed his gaze past Kylie’s face.”
The pair — who were first linked in April — went public with their romance at the Renaissance World Tour.
They were joined by the likes of Adele, Justin Bieber, and Hailey Bieber in the crowd.
In another picture, Kylie stood behind her new actor beau, placing one arm around his waist and another over his shoulder.
James noted Kylie was putting in all the effort.
“She seemed to be using her arms to wrap Timothée up like a gift,” she said.
“Kylie circled both arms around his neck and aimed her passionate kiss on him.
“Her kiss was to show total commitment and immersion in the moment.”
The youngest Kardashian-Jenner sister wore a skintight strapless black dress with a graphic print, which was matched up with eye-catching leather thigh-high boots.
The mom of two also had her hair pulled back into an updo.
Interestingly, Timothée looked more casual, rocking up in a low-key baseball cap and matching black jacket.
James suggested his appearance matched his gestures, noting that he refrained from getting intimate.
“Timothée looked non-committal,” she added.
“When he kissed her and looked away, he had a drink in one hand and used it to rest on the rail.
“The other hand was placed in a polite place.
“He side-stepped the chance to touch Kylie’s bare back; instead, Timothée opted to place a non-clutching hand on her dress.
“Bare backs are especially sensitive to sensual touch and show intimacy, but Timothée avoided it.”
In April, rumors began to circulate that Kylie and Timothée were dating after her black SUV was pictured parked in his driveway.
An insider also told The U.S. Sun that the couple has been secretly dating for months.
The two were spotted together at a barbecue together in May.
Kylie ended her relationship with rapper Travis Scott, 32, last year.
The pair share a five-year-old daughter, Stormi, and one-year-old son, Aire.
Meanwhile, Timothée dated Johnny Depp’s daughter, Lily-Rose, between 2018 and 2020.
James claimed Timothée’s kiss mirrored Ben Affleck kissing J-Lo at the 2003 Oscars.
Like Timothée, he looked away from Jen during the kiss, which took place in March.
The pair postponed their wedding that September, and eventually split.
James said: “Timothée’s kissing performance mirrors Ben Affleck’s red flag gesture with Jennifer Lopez at the Oscars.
“Ben kept his eyes open and fixed them away from her, as he kissed her.
“It was as if he was scouting around for something more interesting.
“Timothée seemed to be doing the same with Kylie.”
James added: “Overall, their signals are unsynchronised enough to suggest this relationship has yet to gel.
“Kylie looked like an excited teenager whereas Timothée did not.”
