Hello and welcome to Gossip Time, a weekly guide to the stars by Allie Jones. This week: a reality star is spotted with an actor, a model hints at a relationship with a pop star, and Mandy Moore faces a stunning betrayal.
DeuxMoi is at it again: This week, the occasionally correct purveyor of unsourced celebrity gossip started a rumor that Kylie Jenner is dating…Timothée Chalamet. Hm. Where would the 25-year-old lip-kit empress and the 27-year-old actor even cross paths? And how would they keep their purported romance a secret?
According to DeuxMoi’s tipsters, Jenner and Chalamet have been seeing each other since at least January, when they allegedly spent New Year’s Eve together in Aspen. Another tipster noted they were also together at Paris Couture Week later that month. Interestingly enough, both of these meetings are plausible. Jenner was indeed in Aspen for New Year’s and was photographed partying with her sister Kendall Jenner and friend Hailey Bieber. Jenner and Chalamet were not spotted together, but several fans posted selfies with Chalamet in Aspen a couple days after the holiday.
Jenner and Chalamet were also both present at Paris Couture Week in January. They separately attended the Jean Paul Gaultier show, which was a collaboration with Chalamet’s close friend Haider Ackerman. TikTok spies have since resurfaced a short video of Jenner and Chalamet talking to Ackerman after the show:
So…they’ve met! And they are both, by all accounts, single: Jenner is off-again with Travis Scott, the father of her two children Stormi and Aire (fka Wolf). Chalamet was last linked to Lily-Rose Depp over two years ago.
Here’s one more interesting tidbit: A few weeks ago, in a report about Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny’s rumored relationship, Page Six noted that the pair attended a private dinner at the Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood alongside Zack Bia, Russell Westbrook, Kylie Jenner, and — dun dun dun — Chalamet.
The caveat here is that DeuxMoi is often flagrantly wrong about rumored celebrity couples. Last month, she insisted that the recently-divorced Reese Witherspoon and Tom Brady were going out, only to be shot down hard by their respective reps. But I’d say in this particular instance, it’s possible the rumor is true. Fun?
Less fun is Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde’s ongoing custody battle. This week, Wilde’s attorney Laura Wasser filed docs in Los Angeles indicating that Sudeikis has paid zero child support since the couple split in 2020. Wilde is requesting both support and a $500,000 contribution to her legal fees from Sudeikis. “I am asking the Court to make an order regarding child support so that I can adequately provide for our children commensurate with Jason’s standard of living,” Wilde said in the filing. “I am also asking that Jason make a contribution to my attorney and accountant fees and costs, not only due to him being in a significantly superior position than me financially, but because the vast majority of the fees I have incurred have been due to Jason and his counsel’s egregious, unnecessary, and aggressive conduct.”
This has been going on for a while: The last time we checked in with the exes, Sudeikis was trying to have the custody fight moved to New York — a move that ultimately failed. Wilde accused Sudeikis of trying to “litigate her into debt” with this maneuver. Perhaps as retribution, someone leaked Wilde’s personal financial details that she shared with the court. According to docs obtained by the Blast, her monthly expenses are $107,000, and she has $10 million in assets. I bet this goes on for another year, at least.
In the meantime, Wilde’s ex-boyfriend Harry Styles is cozying up to Emily Ratajkowski. (The three of them may or may not have had a threesome back in 2021.) Styles and EmRata were photographed making out against a minivan in Tokyo last week, and EmRata has since hinted that she has been seeing someone for a couple months. She also told the Los Angeles Times that she’s “not thinking about guys,” but “you know, sometimes things just happen.” They sure do.
STUFF BY HILARY DUFF: I wish I didn’t have to type these words, but: Hilary Duff’s husband has been suspended from Twitter for impersonating Gwyneth Paltrow :(
Finally, I must ask: Who hurt Mandy Moore?
The actress posted these cryptic Instagram stories on Tuesday. My best guess is she’s talking about…a nanny? If you have any theories please share them in the comments below.
Thanks so much for opening this email. And thank you especially to paid subscribers! Your contributions keep this operation running, and I love you.

I think it's weird that Hilary Duff's husband is acting like he struck a blow for First Amendment rights or something, instead of a not very funny joke.
And I feel like Mandy posted to prevent whoever hurt her from selling stories. So if anything b ad comes out we'll know who it's from/they took advantage of her.
Who posts a pic of themselves pumping? I’m all for breast feeding but that’s odd to me
