Timothée Chalamet Proposes to Kylie Jenner at Met Gala 2026 — Zendaya’s Fierce Reaction Stuns Guests

Timothée Chalamet stunned the fashion world by proposing to Kylie Jenner during the 2026 Met Gala on May 4, sending shockwaves through the celebrity crowd — and reportedly leaving Zendaya visibly furious.

According to multiple eyewitnesses at the exclusive after-party held at The Mark H๏τel, Chalamet dropped to one knee in a private VIP lounge just after midnight. He reportedly presented Jenner with a custom 12-carat emerald-cut diamond ring and asked her to marry him in front of a small group of close friends. Jenner, 28, reportedly said yes immediately, with the couple embracing as champagne flowed.

The moment was meant to stay private, but pH๏τos and videos quickly leaked online, showing Chalamet slipping the ring onto Jenner’s finger. Within minutes, #TimotheeKylieEngaged was trending worldwide.

However, the night took a dramatic turn when Zendaya, 29, who shares a long history with Chalamet from their Dune collaborations and rumored past romance, was seen storming out of the venue shortly after the proposal. Sources claim she was overheard saying, “This is a joke,” before leaving with her security team. Insiders told Page Six that Zendaya had no idea the proposal was planned and felt “blindsided and disrespected.”

“Zendaya and Timothée have always had a special bond,” one source said. “Seeing him propose to Kylie at the Met Gala — of all places — was too much.”

The couple has not yet commented publicly, but Jenner posted a subtle story with the ring emoji shortly after midnight. Fans are divided, with some celebrating the surprise engagement while others question the timing and Zendaya’s reaction.

Whether this marks the beginning of a new power couple or the end of an old friendship remains to be seen. One thing is certain: the 2026 Met Gala just delivered the most talked-about moment of the year.
