While Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides immediately knew he would love Zendaya’s Chani ‘as long as he breathes’, the actor has had quite a history when it comes to finding love in real life. The Dune star has had quite a dating history ever since he broke into the scene with films like Interstellar and Call Me By Your Name.
While Chalamet has been dating Kylie Jenner for the past few months, he was in a highly publicized relationship with The Idol star Lily-Rose Depp. The couple had reportedly met while filming Netflix’s The King and had gotten cozy as early as 2018.

The two were captured in downtown NYC in the morning and a source said,

Timothée Chalamet and Lily-Rose Depp had been co-stars in Netflix’s historical drama The King. While Chalamet played Henry V in the film directed by David Michod, Lily-Rose Depp played his wife Catherine. The two had not acknowledged their relationship when they were filming the movie and Depp described working with Chalamet as being nerve-wracking.
She described her experience with Chalamet on The King to ET,
“It’s always exciting to work with somebody who you know has given themselves so wholeheartedly to their role and is so invested. It can be nerve-wracking to work with people whose talent you admire so much, but hopefully, it can only make things better.”
The two were spotted multiple times in the next year, however, US Weekly reported that Chalamet and Depp had broken up in 2020.
Timothée Chalamet’s Embarrassing Kiss With Lily-Rose Depp Went Viral
Timothée Chalamet’s brief relationship with Lily-Rose Depp made headlines many times, with the couple being spotted in and around New York. However, the two really made heads turn, and social media took notice when the two were making out in Capri, Italy (via ET).

Chalamet would later open up about the incident in 2020, long after the duo broke up. The actor was reportedly embarrassed by the photos which went viral. He told in an interview with GQ,
“I went to bed that night thinking that was one of the best days of my life. I was on this boat all day with someone I really loved, and closing my eyes, I was like, indisputably, ‘That was great.’ And then waking up to all these pictures, and feeling embarrassed, and looking like a real nob? All pale?”
Timothée Chalamet also mentioned that he was taken by surprise when people accused the couple of doing this as a PR stunt. He mentioned that it was bizarre that people would assume that he was okay with looking that embarrassed in front of everyone. He said,
“And then people are like: This is a P.R. stunt. A P.R. stunt?! Do you think I’d want to look like that in front of all of you?!”
After their breakup, Timothée Chalamet and Lily-Rose Depp were reportedly again seen together in 2021, sparking rumors of reconciliation. The two were reportedly seen shopping in NYC (via ET).
