Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet showed up together on a red carpet for the first time recently. They've been dating for almost 2 years, but many fans still think it's a weird couple.According to a Business Insider report, people on social media keep saying things like, "I still can't believe Kylie & Timothee is a real thing."Rumors started in 2023, and since then people felt confused about how these two match. One fan joked about them saying, "I firmly believe they sit together in complete silence.'Kylie became famous through flashy reality TV and social media. Timothee is more known for being a serious actor in Oscar-level movies. Their personalities and public images just don't match.PR expert Evan Nierman told Business Insider that Kylie's brand is all about being visible, online, and promoting herself. Timothee is the opposite, more private, artistic, and thoughtful."The kind of brooding, superserious actor clashes with the Kardashian model', Nierman added.This is more about how their brands are managed, not about who they are as people. Big PR teams, image consultants, and managers, Kylie's mom known as "momager" are always involved.Mike Fahey, another PR expert, said a lot of stuff in Hollywood that seems 'accidental' is actually planned. There's a difference between a "PR relationship" and a real relationship managed by PR.Some celebrity couples are clearly PR moves, like when Tom Hiddleston wore that 'I love (symbol of heart) T.S.' shirt while dating Taylor Swift.But Kylie and Timmy are so different that people don't believe it's fake either. Like, what would they even be promoting together?The relationship was rolled out very slowly and sneakily, it started with blurry pics of Kylie's car at Timmy's place. Then came anonymous tips to gossip page Deuxmoi. Kylie and Timothee were also seen kissing at the Beyonce concert in September 2023.They both attended the Golden Globe Awards twice, however the couple did not walk the red carpet together. When they finally did it, it was at a small ceremony in Rome, not a big flashy event like the Met Gala.According to the reports, PR experts, Nierman and Fahey said, the mystery and confusion are on purpose. It makes people talk more, guess more, and keeps them in the news. Nierman said, "A series of slow strategic leaks followed by a red carpet debut is a PR move, designed to generate buzz."If they gave a full interview or posted a big Instagram announcement, it might have helped fans understand their relationship better. But that would also kill the mystery and fun.Fahey said if he were managing Kylie, he'd do the same thing, "Milk this for all it's worth. They've created a media firestorm while doing very little."They haven't posted a selfie together yet. Timmy hasn't appeared on Kylie's show 'The Kardashians' yet. When these things happen, Fahey says it'll be a "cash cow payday".Every time they do something new as a couple, people freak out again. Friends keep saying stuff like, 'I can't believe they're still together' or 'I still don't get it.'But that's not a problem, it's actually part of the plan. Nierman said, "It keeps us guessing. It keeps us talking. That's the whole point."Q1. Why do fans think Kylie's relationship is fake?Because their public images and personalities seem very different.Q2. Is Kylie and Timothee's relationship just for publicity?PR experts say it's real but carefully managed to create buzz.

Sometimes it feels that it's Malaika Arora's world and we are simply living in it. The model and actor is a busy bee: attending events, never skipping workouts and having a good time while doing it all. The 51-year-old offered fans a peek into her 'fun week,' and we are obsessed. "Such a fun week. Grateful," read the caption. The Instagram carousel opens to a glamorous solo shot of Malaika Aror a. Blessed with a blemish-free radiance, she was unabashed in showing off her minimal makeup look. The soft sun rays on her face elevated the allure. Barely-there blush and glossy lips sealed her beauty game. For the final touch, Malaika tied up her silky tresses in a messy bun. Malaika Arora, who launched her restaurant, Scarlett House, last year in December, shared some glimpses of the venue. In one snap, she posed for a picture with an employee. It was followed by an image of bartenders making exotic drinks. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Malaika Arora (@malaikaaroraofficial) Malaika Arora's boss-lady avatar had us gushing in the next few slides. She leaned on a beige two-piece suit featuring a lapel-collared blazer and matching trousers. Padded shoulders, full sleeves and breast pockets added some functionality to the fit. Meanwhile, the flared pants reflected Malaika's love for easy-breezy fits. For accessories, Malaika Arora wore a pearl-encrusted silver necklace, contributing to the chic factor. Rosy cheeks, glossy lips and muted smokey eyes elevated her charm. She opted for a not-so-neat ponytail to complete her boardroom style. A delicious cream and pistachio-topped chocolate-vanilla cake made it to the album. Next, Malaika Arora posted a newspaper screenshot where she performed yoga on the occasion of International Yoga Day on June 21. 'Yoga has been very instrumental in shaping my life,' she said. One photograph captured Malaika Arora's son, Arhaan Khan, showing a victory sign while travelling in a car. The carousel ends with Scarlett House's delicious cheese menu under the 'Scarlett Cheese Programme.' Thoughtful quotes to music, fun times with friends and family, exotic dishes: the gallery had it all.

Love Island USA Season 7 Casa Amor: Casa Amor is almost here, and fans of Love Island USA Season 7 know exactly what that means. Relationships will be tested and loyalties questioned, and the real shake-up is just beginning. With the twist kicking off in just a few hours, anticipation is running high, especially around one rumoured bombshell set to stir things up. While the official lineup is yet to enter the show, one name is already making waves online. Zak Srakaew has social media buzzing thanks to his striking looks and that unavoidable British accent. Even before stepping foot in the villa, Zak is turning heads. His Instagram (@zakyeah) has caught the attention of Love Island watchers, and he's already being called one to keep an eye on. With model-level features and low-key charm, he's got people talking. But there might be more to Zak than what you see on the surface. If you're not sure what all the fuss is about, let's break down what Casa Amor is—and why the internet is already obsessed with Zak. Love Island USA Season 7: So, what exactly is Casa Amor? Casa Amor is one of the most anticipated twists in Love Island. It separates the boys and girls into two villas and introduces a fresh group of bombshells to tempt the islanders. This time, the girls will be moving out while new boys step in to shake things up with the guys. At the end of the twist, islanders have to decide whether to stick with their original partner or couple up with someone new. It's often messy, unpredictable, and emotional, so fans are always excited about it. Who is Zak Srakaew, the new bombshell set to enter the house? Six boys and five girls are about to enter the villa as new bombshells, but Zak has already been pegged as one of this season's standout. He's originally from Thailand but grew up in Manchester, and his polished look and calm confidence are already drawing comparisons to past fan favourites. Viewers are curious to see whether he's entering with serious intentions or just to stir the pot. Interestingly, this isn't Zak's first time on reality TV. He previously appeared on Big Brother UK, so he's no stranger to the spotlight. That experience could give him an edge in the villa — but as any fan knows, Love Island is a different game.

From beachside views to city backdrops, his travel content gives fans a glimpse into his lifestyle. But it's not all about the visuals, every now and then, Zak shares more personal moments too, like sweet messages to his family or reflective captions that hint at a more grounded side. If you caught him on Big Brother UK, you'll remember he talked about how people always assume he's full of himself because of how he looks. But Zak described himself as chill, genuine, and someone who doesn't take himself too seriously. With that mix of looks, low-key charm, and a bit of mystery, it's no surprise he's getting attention before even stepping into Love Island USA's Casa Amor.
