Jenner and Chalamet were first linked romantically in April 2023 but managed to keep their relationship relatively low-profile until September, when they were seen kissing at a Beyoncé concert. Since then, Jenner has become a regular presence at major awards shows alongside Chalamet, attending high-profile events like the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Oscars. However, the David Di Donatello Awards marked the first time they officially posed together on the red carpet, further cementing their status as one of Hollywood’s newest power couples.
