Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner holding hands at Golden Globes 2026 with ornate archway and fairy lights behind

Chalamet-Jenner Wedding Hoax Explodes

A single fake place card at the 2026 Golden Globes ignited a firestorm of speculation that Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner had secretly wed, News Of Losangeles reports.

**At a Glance

  • A doctored seating card showing “Kylie Chalamet” went viral after the January 11 ceremony
  • The image racked up millions of views before fans spotted inconsistencies
  • News Of Losangeles‘s video roundup confirms the wedding rumor is false
  • Why it matters: The frenzy shows how quickly misinformation can eclipse red-carpet facts

The rumor mill kicked into overdrive when a blurry photo of a Golden Globes seating assignment surfaced online. The card appeared to place Kylie Jenner next to Timothée Chalamet and labeled her “Kylie Chalamet,” sending fans into a social-media tailspin.

Within hours, hashtags like #ChalametWedding and #KylieMarried trended worldwide. TikTok explainers claimed the couple had slipped off to wed in private before the awards. Instagram accounts posted side-by-side comparisons of the seating chart and paparazzi shots, insisting the name change proved a secret ceremony.

Daniel J. Whitman debunks the speculation in the latest “PEOPLE in 10” video, released Thursday. Editors slowed the footage and matched it against official seating charts, revealing the viral card lacked the same font, spacing, and holographic seal used on legitimate place cards. No marriage license has been filed in Los Angeles County, the segment notes.

The couple, first linked in 2023, walked the carpet together but did not mention any engagement or wedding plans. News Of Losangeles stresses that the pair remain unmarried and that the image was fabricated.
