Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet were slammed for indulging in a public display of affection at Coachella on Saturday – the day her ex is slated to perform there.

The romantic gesture came a month after they went viral for an awkward exchange in the audience at a tennis match that sent fans into a frenzy of speculation.

Under a cloud of rumors, Kylie and Timothee presented a united front by sweetly holding hands when they surfaced at Coachella together this weekend.

While Kylie bared her enviably taut midriff in a sleek white ensemble, Timothee modeled a trendily baggy set of shorts with a t-shirt, shades and a baseball cap. 

They were there the same day as a scheduled show at the festival by Kylie’s rapper ex Travis Scott, with whom she shares her children Stormi, seven, and Aire, three.

Fans were quick to make the connection, with one remarking that Kylie and Timothee attending Coachella on the ‘day travis is performing is diabolical idk.’

‘Right on time for Travis Scott,’ observed another with a crying laughing emoji, as a third wondered: ‘What did Travis do?’ 

Another commenter brought up the rumors of a feud between Justin Bieber’s wife Hailey Bieber and his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, saying: ‘They are stalking Travis. Imagine if Hailey did this with Selena, she would get dragged all over the internet.’ 

Before going onstage, Travis affectionately shared a snap of his children standing at a balcony, along with a caption calling them ‘My gang.’ 

A month ago, Kylie and Timothee hit the headlines for an uncomfortable back-and-forth in the audience at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California. 

The 27-year-old reality star accompanied her actor love, 29, to the high-profile sporting event Sunday- but all eyes switched to the couple when they shared a stilted kiss and conversation, with fans speculating they were on the rocks.

Now forensic lipreader Jeremy Freeman has exclusively uncovered the couple’s conversation for DailyMail.com – with the Call Me By Your Name star focused on the match between Holger Rune of Denmark and France’s Ugo Humbert, rather than his girlfriend’s request for a loved-up pH๏τo.

Freeman says Kylie requested a kissing snap with Timothee, who complied, but the actor then told his partner: ‘Wait a minute, love’ with his eyes focused on the court.

As Kylie gripped his face with her hands and kissed a seemingly unimpressed Timothee – who kept his eyes open and on the match – she allegedly gave the command: ‘Eye contact!’ to which the actor responded: ‘Go on’ adding ‘yum, yep.’ 

Sitting back in his chair afterwards, Timothee grimaced and loudly exclaimed: ‘Ow!’ with a laughing Kylie responding: ‘Are you ok?’  

As she began stroking his stomach repeatedly, Timothee said:  ‘No problem, I’m good, don’t worry about it.’

Discussion then turned to the game as Timothee, who was still being caressed by Kylie, told her: ‘Watch the point, watch the point.’

Timothee was then seen shouting ‘atta Ugo’ in support of the player, before standing up and calling out:  ‘No, no, how can you miss that!’

He added: ‘That was a bad miss, that was a bad miss’ as a subdued Kylie snapped a pic of the court.

Fans had called out the longtime couple’s exchange on social media, with one writing: ‘him not kissing her back and her kissing him w her eyes open is making me cringe.

Others wrote: ‘This is me kissing my cat.

‘But this also comes across a bit yikes because he is clearly into the match and not her in that moment so she looks a bit performative. But I say in that moment because who knows how he was otherwise. Moments in time don’t a story tell.

‘I’m having second hand embarrᴀssment watching this.

‘Looks like a girlie who wants a cute picture with their her boyfriend, and the boyfriend is into the game lol nothing more

‘That was painful to watch

‘I think that this is a case of him actually being interested in the match while she is not.’

The couple looked loved-up at an Oscars afterparty last month

Following Timothée’s Oscars loss last week to The Brutalist star Adrien Brody, fans have claimed that her boyfriend missed out on his second chance at the prestigious award due to her surprise appearance at the ceremony.

Kylie shushed those conspiracists with plenty of PDA during the match one week on from her beau’s Academy Awards snub.

Her sister Kendall Jenner was also seen taking a seat in the row in front of the loved-up couple.

The model looked sleek and casual in a black crop top with casual white pants and a midnight blue baseball cap.

Timothée, meanwhile, was dressed casually in a preppy white shirt with vertical navy stripes, which he wore open to reveal his white undershirt.

The couple have lately been beset by parasocial fans on social media who have revived talk of the so-called ‘Kardashians curse’.

According to the invented supernatural force, any man who dates one of the Kardashian–Jenner sisters will have some kind of fall from grace during the relationship.

Kim and Khloe Kardashian previously slammed the theory as ‘super Sєxist’.

Although Timothée did end up losing to Adrien Brody in the Best Actor category at last week’s Oscars, he was not deemed the frontrunner in the category. 

The steamy trip to the tennis comes after the Dune actor watched his beloved New York Knicks play in Los Angeles on Thursday, while Kylie was mourning the death of her hairstylist Jesus Guerrero.
