Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet's 'insane' move at the Oscars
The pair appeared to take leave from their seats as a slew of actresses took to the stage to dish out best costume design to Wicked's Paul Tazewell inside LA's celebrity-packed Dolby Theatre.
They commanded attention stealing sweet kisses and holding hands throughout this year’s Academy Awards ceremony.
But Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet clearly weren’t so comfortable when his ex-girlfriend, Lily-Rose Depp, took to the stage to present Best Costume Design, with the loved-up couple nowhere to be seen.
The pair appeared to take leave from their seats as Depp, 25, joined a slew of actresses to present the award to Wicked’s Paul Tazewell inside LA’s celebrity-packed Dolby Theatre on Sunday night.
Minutes before, Chalamet, 29, wearing a pastel yellow suit, was seen leading Jenner, 27, away hand-in-hand during a commercial break.
When Tazewell made his way up to the stage, the camera panned the front row, with the couple no longer in their seats.
The video was posted on a Chalamet fan account on TikTok and shared by eagle-eyed viewers who questioned where they had gone.

One person on Reddit wrote: ‘Also talk about Timothee and Kylie not being in their seats when Lily had to give her speech was insane.’
Another added: ‘Timmy, what the heck!?!?!? I thought you and Lily are "good friends" and in "good terms"???
Others branded the apparent move ‘embarrassing and humiliating,’ with one commenting: ‘I NOTICED THIS! So pathetic. Very immature. Clearly he still thinks about her if he went out of his way to not be in the same area as her.’
But some appeared to defend the couple, with one writing: ‘I mean that’s kind of smart. They are avoiding the camera cutting to them when she’s on stage.’
Depp famously dated best actor nominee Chalamet for around two years after they played love interests in David Michôd's 2019 historical epic The King.
Their short-lived relationship was relatively private, and fans only found out they had split when Chalamet described himself as 'currently single' in 2020.
He once acknowledged their romance during an interview with GQ in which he recalled feeling embarrassed when photos of them kissing on a yacht were made poublic.
'I went to bed that night thinking that was one of the best days of my life,' he said. 'I was on this boat all day with someone I really loved, and closing my eyes, I was like, indisputably, “That was great”.

The pair had previously shared several kisses and sat hand in hand, as well as taking selfies, on the front row as Jenner supported her Best Actor nominee boyfriend
‘And then waking up to all these pictures, and feeling embarrassed, and looking like a real nob? All pale?
‘And then people are like, “This is a PR stunt.” A PR stunt?! Do you think I'd want to look like that in front of all of you?!’
The Nosferatu actress, whose father is Johnny Depp, has been dating rapper-singer 070 Shake aka Danielle Balbuena since 2023.
At one moment, Depp was pictured standing in front of a giant illustration of her ex as fellow presenter Elle Fanning paid tribute to Arianne Phillips, who designed the costumes for A Complete Unknown – the Bob Dylan biopic in which Chalamet played the Nobel Prize-winning singer.
Predictably, the moment did not go unnoticed by viewers who reacted to the awkward moment, branding it 'messy'.
Jenner, who looked stunning in a low-cut Mui Mui dress, joined Chalamet inside the theatre after letting him fly solo on the red carpet earlier in the evening.
The pair shared several kisses and sat hand in hand, with Jenner flinging her arms around his neck and giving him a kiss after he lost out to The Brutalist's Adrien Brody for Best Actor.
But she also came under fire during a commercial break when she stayed seated while Chalamet introduced her to Sir Elton John.

The reality star-turned-businesswoman extended her hand to greet the British artist, who planted a kiss on it.
'That is Sir Elton John,' wrote one furious viewer. 'You stand when being greeted to him.'
Another added: 'Not just because it's Elton John but out of respect and manners, you stand up when you greet someone.’
The couple, who have been dating since 2023, went on to party at the Vanity Fair bash where they were joined by her sisters Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian.
