<p id=”par-1_46″>Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have attended many <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kylie-jenner-debut-timothee-chalamet-instagram.html/”>public events together</a>, but they haven’t made their Met Gala debut yet. This is reportedly because Jenner fears the so-called Met Gala curse. A number of celebrity couples have parted ways shortly after making <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/beyonce-anne-hathaway-much-stars-met-gala-jewelry-really-costs.html/”>their Met Gala debut</a>.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-what-is-the-met-gala-curse”>What is the Met Gala curse?</h2>
<p id=”par-2_38″>Breakups are common news in Hollywood, but the Met Gala reportedly hastens the end of a relationship for some couples. An eyebrow-raising number of celebrity couples have called it quits just months after making their Met Gala debut.</p>
<p id=”par-3_24″>In 2015, Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long attended the Met Gala for the first time. In September of that year, they ended their relationship. </p>
<p id=”par-4_25″>The Weeknd has been the victim of the curse twice. Both Bella Hadid and Selena Gomez broke up him after they attended the Met Gala. </p>
<p id=”par-5_27″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/why-katie-holmes-and-jamie-foxx-were-bound-to-break-up.html/”>Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes</a> broke up just weeks after attending the event together in 2019. They’d been together for six years when they made their debut.</p>
<p id=”par-6_28″>Similarly, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were together on and off for a decade before attending the Met Gala. They <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/miley-cyrus-regrets-liam-hemsworth-split.html/”>ended their marriage</a> just months after their debut.</p>
<p id=”par-7_32″>Other couples who have ended things after the Met Gala include Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello; Phoebe Bridgers and Paul Mescal; Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter; and Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson.</p>

<p id=”par-8_41″>While Jenner has become a frequent presence by Chalamet’s side at awards shows, they didn’t attend the Met Gala together. Jenner reportedly “intentionally avoided” having him as her date <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/expert-explains-real-challenge-kylie-jenner-timothee-chalamet-face-hollywood-couple.html/”>because she worried</a> it could lead to the end of her relationship.</p>
<p id=”par-9_31″>“Kylie and Timothée intentionally avoided attending the Met Gala together these past few years because they didn’t want to risk the whole ‘Met Gala curse’ thing,” a source told <a href=”https://pagesix.com/2026/05/11/celebrity-news/kylie-jenners-fear-of-met-gala-curse-stopped-timothee-chalamet-from-being-her-plus-one/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Page Six</a>.</p>

<p id=”par-10_23″>Jenner previously attended the Met Gala with Travis Scott. While they didn’t break up immediately after their debut, they eventually ended their relationship. </p>
<p id=”par-11_25″>“Kylie was especially superstitious about it after going to the Met with Travis [Scott] in 2018 and 2019 before they eventually split,” the source said.</p>
<p id=”par-12_21″>She reportedly “just didn’t want that kind of bad luck attached to their relationship and wasn’t willing to take any chances.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-the-couple-is-reportedly-discussing-marriage”>The couple is reportedly discussing marriage</h2>
<p id=”par-13_24″>While Jenner is reportedly superstitious, her romance with Chalamet is solid. They have been together for over three years and are reportedly considering marriage. </p>
<p id=”par-14_19″>“They are very serious and have talked about getting engaged this year,” a source told <a href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/kylie-jenner-timothee-chalamet-talking-engagement-after-3-years-excl/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Us Weekly</a> in January.</p>
