When celebrities fall in love, some fans feel dumped, too. That sentiment played out in dramatic fashion as one of Timothée Chalamet’s most devoted supporters publicly walked away from her long-running obsession. It started as subtle discomfort over his relationship with Kylie Jenner, but has now turned into a full-blown “breakup.” This comes just as insiders suggest the couple themselves may be heading in the opposite direction, with talks of a future together growing more serious behind the scenes.
The End of a Longtime Obsession
For years, Simone Cromer, the woman behind the Club Chalamet fandom, stood as one of the actor’s most loyal champions. But as Chalamet’s relationship with Jenner became more visible, her enthusiasm began to fade.
On Saturday, April 25, she confirmed she was stepping away entirely. She wrote on Instagram: “To deny the obvious is to be obtuse and bury your head in the sand. This fan community is not the same as it was four years ago. The notable shift was exactly 12 months ago, and the clock started to tick. Basically, so much has changed from what we all initially signed up for that it doesn’t resemble what lured us here in the first place.”
Her decision marks the end of a fandom that once thrived across multiple platforms. Cromer had built Club Chalamet into a space for fans, especially older followers, to connect over the actor’s career. Now, like her previous fixation on Michael Fassbender, it has been dismantled.
The parallels are hard to ignore. Years earlier, Cromer famously distanced herself from Fassbender after his marriage, declaring online: “The Fassy purge begins today. It was fun in the past (2008-2018), with a lot of heartache from personal attacks, but my participation in the Michael Fassbender fandom prepared me for my current community manager/social media influencer hobby interests for @RealChalamet now.”
Her exit from Chalamet’s fandom appears to follow a similar emotional trajectory. This suggesting that for some fans, a celebrity’s romantic life can reshape the entire experience of admiration.
Timothée Chalamet & Kylie Jenner: Love, Pressure, and Public Attention
While one chapter closes in the fandom world, another seems to be unfolding for Chalamet and Jenner. The couple, who first met in January 2023 at Paris Couture Week, initially kept their relationship under wraps before going public later that year.
Since then, their appearances have grown more frequent and affectionate, from concerts to major sporting events and award shows. By early 2024, they were attending ceremonies together, with Jenner becoming a steady presence on red carpets alongside the actor.
Behind the scenes, sources suggest the relationship has deepened significantly. One insider told the Daily Mail: “Kylie’s entire family loves Timothée. He calls them his second family. When he’s in LA he and Kylie live together in her Hidden Hills home and he is very involved with her children, Stormi and Aire. Kylie told him there’s no one else she’d consider having another child with.”
Despite the apparent closeness, marriage is not yet a certainty. Another source explained: “Timothée has talked proposing to Kylie, but she doesn’t want to get married, at least not yet. She told him when couples get married things usually start to go downhill. He’s been seeking advice from her mom Kris [Jenner] and sister Kendall [Jenner] about how he can get her to change her mind.”
Still, the pressure from Jenner’s family appears to be mounting. As one insider put it: “If it were up to Kris [Jenner] and the rest of the family, they would want Kylie married yesterday.”
The couple, however, are said to be taking things at their own pace. They continue to balance demanding careers with their personal lives, maintaining a dynamic that allows Chalamet to film while Jenner focuses on her business ventures and children.
For now, they appear content with where they stand. According to another source, “They’re currently enjoying the life they have made for each other.”
As their relationship evolves, it is clear that public perception continues to shift alongside it. For some fans, like Cromer, the changes marked the end of an era. For Chalamet and Jenner, it may just be the beginning of something more permanent.
