Adult star speaks out on alleged romance with Timothée Chalamet - Kylie Jenner's brother has addressed it

A former adult star has spoken out about her alleged romance with Timothée Chalamet, and Kylie Jenner’s brother has now addressed the claims.

Sarah Tena, 32, told the Daily Mail she first connected with the Hollywood star, 30, in January 2020 after watching his performance in The King.

This eventually led to what she described as a nonexclusive relationship that spanned years.

A Secret Hollywood Romance

Tena alleged that her connection with Chalamet began when she reached out to him on Instagram, admitting: "I thought, 'Oh, who’s this actor,' because I’d never seen him before, so I looked him up on Instagram. I was like, 'Oh, this guy is handsome.' Then a couple weeks go by, and he posts a story."

After months of trying to get his attention, she claimed he eventually responded, recalling: "I wanted to talk to him, and he hearts what I had responded back… and he just likes it.”

According to her, the pair met in person in May 2020 at a friend’s beachfront home in Santa Monica, where they 'clicked' over wine and a shared love of film.

She also claimed he played her Bob Dylan songs while preparing for a role, saying: "I went over there and he had all these scripts up for the Bob Dylan role and I was like, 'What is this?' and he’s like, 'It’s for Bob Dylan. I’m going to play him,’"

"I was like, 'That’s so cool,'" adding: "He played me a few songs, and he was so great. He had been practicing maybe for a month he told me."

Tena further alleged that their relationship continued, with meetups 'nearly every other month,' and said she eventually developed deeper feelings.

"I knew there were feelings involved for both of us. That’s why it continued for as long as it did,” she said.

She later admitted: "I was in love with Timothée, yeah. I didn’t say those exact words to him. I had said, 'I have feelings for you,' and pretty much expressed I want to continue."

"I let him know that I wanted it to be more consistent… I wanted it to be where we made more time for one another. New York kind of sealed that for me.”

Sudden Split and Kylie Jenner Romance

Tena claimed things cooled off in early 2023 after she sent the Marty Supreme star a birthday message that he simply 'hearted.'

Shortly after, he was spotted with Jenner at Paris Fashion Week, before photos later emerged of her car outside his Beverly Hills home.

"I see these things about him dating Kylie Jenner, and I was very confused about that,” Tena said.

“At first, I thought it was fake news and then I was like, maybe it’s a p.r. thing. But now it looks like maybe they are together. I don’t know … It doesn’t add up.”

She went on to call the situation 'disrespectful,' adding: "I miss him. I do miss him a lot because I haven’t seen him in a couple of years."

"I did get down and a little sad about the whole thing because I was like, 'Wow, I might not ever see him again,' and when I had always felt so sure about him and I and it turned the complete opposite of that."

"I never thought him and I would stop talking because we had that friendship also. He’s changed. I know he’s changed. Hollywood changes people," she added.

Tena also claimed she believes the actor is fully committed to Jenner, saying: "If he had an open relationship with her, we’d still be seeing each other."

Brody Jenner Fires Back

As the claims gained traction, the mom-of-two's brother, Brody Jenner, quickly stepped in to defend his sister and her boyfriend, dismissing Tena’s story outright.

"Oh god. Just leave the happy couple alone. People have lives before they meet their person," he wrote under a Page Six Instagram post.

He didn’t stop there, adding: "This girl is clearly doing this for attention, and everyone can see right through it."

Chalamet and Jenner made their red carpet debut in May 2025, after being spotted together multiple times.

The actor later publicly declared his love for Jenner while accepting the best actor award at the Critics' Choice Awards.
