Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet were among the star-studded guests at the wedding of Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns in Malibu. It was notable that they stood out as one of the few couples who haven’t tied the knot yet.
A specialist pointed out that the setting seemed to make Jenner appear more reserved, as evidenced by wedding photos.
Inbaal Honigman, a seasoned body language expert, has been featured in the media for over 20 years. Known for her insights on current events and pop culture personalities, she has contributed to multiple platforms like Big Brother’s Little Brother, Elle Magazine, and talkSPORT radio.
In a conversation with Casino.org, Honigman shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet that being at a wedding amidst their wedded friends underscored Kylie and Timothée’s single status. This shift was palpable in their demeanor, with Timothée appearing eager for Kylie’s attention while she seemed less patient.
The expert continued, “Over the past year or two, we’ve had miles of footage of Kylie gazing adoringly up at her beau, hanging back when he steps into the limelight, leaning towards him to shower him with attention when he’s near her, and generally making him the center of every situation. Kylie’s devotion has been vast and obvious, and she’s allowed herself to demonstrate her love for him in every opportunity.
“Timothée himself is often seen making direct eye contact with Kylie, remaining attentive to her disposition, and following her lead. He’s enjoyed these endless expressions of love, but has not taken the lead until now. Their dynamic has so far presented as a girl in love, one who cannot believe her luck in nabbing this award-winning heartthrob, and a guy who loves and appreciates the adoration.”
According to Honigman, “In the photos from the wedding, their dynamic is different. Kylie has had enough of waiting. Timothée can sense her patience waning, and he’s trying to step up, to charm and impress her. Timothée is seen with his hand over Kylie’s tummy, as if wishing for them to become a family. He circles her waist tenderly with his arm and lowers his chin towards her shoulder, embracing and welcoming, seeking her closeness.
“It is Timothée, who now can’t believe his luck in being with his mogul girlfriend. He takes a step back, focusing his moves around her, making her the centre of attention now. Kylie doesn’t reciprocate. Kylie’s hand is not covering Timothée’s when it is over her tummy. She’s not joining the move; rather, she lets him express his love, solo.”
The body language guru also noted that Jenner’s “head leans towards him, indicating that she’s pleased for him to express his devotion. But her hand is clutching her handbag, sending a message that her own needs and comfort are her priority. Returning Timothée’s affection in that moment isn’t a priority.
“In other photos, they’re seen sitting side by side, and Timothée is touching Kylie, a touch which is not reciprocated. When he stands behind her, his hands hang by his sides, as if waiting for instructions. Kylie has turned a cold shoulder to Timothée, and he can feel it, and therefore he ups his game. Chalamet acts more loving, more romantic, wanting to make sure that he doesn’t lose his gal.”
Honigman concluded, “Even when a tender moment is captured, showing Kylie fixing Timothée’s hair, this is not a romantic move, but more of a mother-son dynamic. She is caring and attentive, but this is not a gesture of desire or passion at all.”
