‘Doing All The Heavy Lifting.’ Body Language Expert Weighs In On Kylie Jenner And Timothèe Chalamet’s Coachella PDA

by

For approximately two years now, Kylie Jenner and Timothèe Chalamet have been maintaining a low-key relationship, preferring to keep their personal life out of the limelight. Whenever they’re spotted together in public, there’s always a flurry of attention as people try to decipher their interaction. This was evident at Coachella last weekend, where an expert on body language noted that one partner seemed to be putting more effort into their connection.

Numerous clips from the yearly music festival captured two-time Academy Award nominee, Timothée Chalamet, dancing closely with Kylie Jenner and displaying affectionate gestures (whose family’s reality series, “The Kardashians”, recently concluded its sixth season on the 2025 TV lineup and is accessible through a Hulu subscription). Judi James, an expert in body language, analyzed various images and videos from Coachella and informed the Daily Mail that Chalamet appeared somewhat “misaligned” with his companion. As per James’ analysis:

At Coachella, the couple can be observed in various poses that imply intimacy and affection. However, upon closer inspection, it seems like Kylie is taking on most of the active roles while Timothee appears somewhat off-beat and less eager to engage in romantic or reciprocal gestures.

In one video, a body language expert pointed out an intriguing moment with Kylie Jenner. She was expressing her enthusiasm for the music by jumping around and dancing in a playful, flirtatious manner, with her boyfriend standing behind me. Meanwhile, Timothèe Chalamet offered a courteous smile and moved to the rhythm, yet kept a respectful physical distance from his girlfriend, leaning casually on a rail instead of physically interacting with her. Judi James explained:

“Kylie Jenner’s body language in this video conveys excitement and playfulness as she dances flirtatiously, while maintaining a strong connection with her boyfriend. On the other hand, Timothèe Chalamet’s body language suggests politeness and respect, as he nods along to the beat and keeps a certain distance from his girlfriend, indicating a more reserved demeanor.

Although she appears cheerful and unrestrained, there’s a hint of an awkward father at a child’s birthday party about Timothee.

In another video, Timothèe Chalamet has his arms around Kylie Jenner’s waist, but it was Kylie who started their kiss. Although Chalamet kissed her again, a professional later labeled it as a “disengagement ritual,” as he removed his hands from her hips—even though she tried to keep them there—and stepped back from her. Judi James concluded:

As a movie buff, I’d rephrase that as: His actions and gestures hint at a more reserved, perhaps private demeanor in our relationship – a side of him I don’t often see when he’s being flirtatious. Instead of the usual playful touches or proximity, he seems to pull back or maintain a formal distance, which is unexpected from someone who’s being courted and kissed.

According to the body language expert, the scenario was reminiscent of when these two were passionately kissing during a tennis tournament, with Kylie Jenner locking lips with Timothèe Chalamet while he maintained focus on the game. Fans also observed an awkward vibe and discomfort between them at that time, contrasting it with the seemingly effortless chemistry displayed by Tom Holland and Zendaya in their own tennis video.

Kylie Jenner has often faced speculation and gossip, given her family ties with the Kardashians-Jenners. It’s plausible that this is why she prefers to keep certain aspects of her life private from fans. I don’t foresee a change in this pattern, and it seems we will continue to scrutinize every public appearance she makes with Timothée Chalamet.
