The Oscars are known for their glitz, glamour, and unforgettable moments, but this year, an unexpected detail caught the attention of fans—Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner quietly leaving the ceremony just before his ex-girlfriend, Lily-Rose Depp, took the stage. While some speculated about the reason behind their exit, insiders have now revealed the real story.
A Night of Highs and Heartfelt Support
For Chalamet, this year’s Oscars could have been a career-defining moment. His performance as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown earned him a nomination for Best Actor, placing him among Hollywood’s elite. By his side was Kylie Jenner, who had supported him throughout the awards season. The couple, who have been dating since 2023, shared affectionate moments in the front row, holding hands and exchanging glances throughout the ceremony.

However, shortly before the award for Best Costume Design was announced, cameras caught Chalamet leading Jenner out of the auditorium. Moments later, his ex-girlfriend, Lily-Rose Depp, took the stage alongside A Complete Unknown co-star Elle Fanning to present the award. When the cameras panned to the audience, Chalamet’s seat was noticeably empty.
Kylie Jenner’s Fragile State After a Heartbreaking Loss
While many assumed their exit was an attempt to avoid an awkward run-in, sources close to the couple shared that the real reason was far more personal. Jenner has been in mourning following the sudden passing of her longtime friend and hairstylist, Jesús Guerrero, who passed away at just 34 years old.
“Kylie is in a very fragile state right now,” a source revealed. “Jesús wasn’t just her hairstylist—he was one of her best friends. She’s been completely devastated by his passing, and Timothée is doing everything he can to be there for her.”
The loss has left Jenner struggling emotionally, and attending high-profile events like the Oscars has been particularly difficult. According to insiders, she wanted to avoid any unnecessary drama, especially since she has often faced criticism about whether she “belongs” at these types of ceremonies.
“She likes to avoid situations where people will talk about her negatively,” the source continued. “And staying in her seat when Lily-Rose was on stage would have only fueled unnecessary speculation.”

While fans online were quick to notice their absence, some defended the couple’s decision to step away during Depp’s presentation.
“It was a smart move,” one person commented. “If they had stayed, the cameras would have focused on them the whole time, waiting for a reaction.”
Others, however, were surprised by the move, with one fan questioning, “Timmy, what the heck? I thought you and Lily were on good terms?”
Despite the chatter, Chalamet and Jenner seemed to enjoy the rest of their night together. After the ceremony, they attended the star-studded Vanity Fair after-party, where Jenner reportedly felt more at ease.
“She was much more relaxed at the party,” another insider shared. “She was texting, laughing, and having a good time with Timothée, her sisters Kendall and Kim, and the rest of their group.”
Focusing on What Matters Most
While the Oscars are typically a night filled with celebration, for Kylie Jenner, this year’s event came at a challenging time. Thankfully, Timothée Chalamet was there to offer his support, proving that sometimes, stepping away from the spotlight is the best decision.
