Timothée Chalamet has been slammed by Kylie Jenner fans after he was seen smoking at a Beyoncé concert - with some branding his habit as "disgusting".

Speculation about the romantic connection between 27-year-old Chalamet and 26-year-old Jenner began when they were spotted in the VIP section at Beyoncé's Renaissance tour in California.

In footage making rounds on social media, the Call Me By Your Name star was caught on camera smoking a cigarette while engaging in conversation with his new rumored girlfriend.

However, despite smoking being fairly common (despite the health warnings), the vide has gotten Kylie's fans all riled up, as they have been less than complimentary about Chalamet's apparent habit.

The vocal Jenner fanbase took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express their displeasure at the footage, with one person tweeting: "Timothée Chalamet started smoking and turned completely disgusting for me."

A second person added: "The most insane part about the timothee chalamet video is not the cigarette but the fact he’s smoking it inside of an arena and ashing onto random people."

A third tweeted: "Why was timothee chalamet smoking in a stadium does he think because he’s famous he doesn’t have to follow the rules?"

Another clip featuring Jenner and Chalamet surfaced on TikTok, capturing the pair on their way to their seats at the concert, with the Kylie Cosmetics founder leading the way.

Rumors of a romance between Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet first began swirling in April of this year, and speculation intensified when they were reportedly introduced during Paris Couture Week in January.

Sources hinted that their relationship was in its early stages, with an insider telling Us Weekly: "Kylie has only hung out with Timothée a couple of times, so things aren't that serious. However, she's enjoying getting to know him better and is open to seeing where things go."

The source added that Chalamet was "not like any of the other guys [Jenner has] dated before" but that they had undeniable chemistry.

In the wake of these reports, Jenner was later photographed arriving at Chalamet's Beverly Hills home. However, four months later, an insider claimed they had parted ways, with Life & Style suggesting that Chalamet had initiated the breakup.

"She's telling people that things between them naturally fizzled out because they're both busy and traveling," a source shared with the magazine, adding that friends were speculating that Kylie got dumped.

However, TMZ refuted these rumors, citing "multiple sources close to the couple" who confirmed that Jenner and Chalamet were still very much together and any reports suggesting otherwise were inaccurate.

For now, let's see if this young love with blossom any further - despite the backlash to Chalamet's smoking.
