Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have been dating for more than three years, but certain aspects of his high-profile career have sparked problems in their relationship.
As Chalamet, 30, continues to take on roles with nudity and intimate scenes, a source claimed the 28-year-old Kylie Cosmetics founder has been "jealous" and "irrational," RadarOnline.com has learned.
Kylie Jenner's Jealousy Exposed
Kylie Jenner was bothered by the intimate scenes in 'Marty Supreme,' a source claimed.
"She’s convinced that everyone is out to snatch Timothée away from her. It’s true that women circle him constantly, but he’s been plenty clear that it’s Kylie he wants," the source explained. "It’s too bad she can’t seem to just take that at face value and stop all the stressing."
Things seemingly came to a head for the young couple after Chalamet starred in Marty Supreme alongside Gwyneth Paltrow – especially since, as the actress herself said, there were "a lot of s-- scenes."
"He was 27 or 28, and I was 50-whatever, and, I mean, it's weird," Paltrow, 53, said in a Q&A for the film earlier this year. "I was sort of worried about it too, just having not done all that kind of thing in so long, but it was very comfortable, and it was fine."
She also praised Chalamet, calling him "so brilliant and committed and comfortable and confident."
Kylie Jenner 'Drawing Boundaries'
Kylie Jenner doesn't want Timothée Chalamet to be a sexual icon, according to a source.
But according to reports, Jenner was not happy with the situation at all.
"It bugs her to watch scenes of Timothée kissing other girls. She’s jealous of the beauties he’s starred with. Now she’s henpecking and drawing boundaries," the source claimed. "She wants him to go for roles that are worthy of his superior talent and not be portrayed as a s-- symbol. She just doesn’t like other women getting their hands on him."
The mother-of-two – who shares daughter Stormi, 8, and son Aire, 4, with ex Travis Scott – was also reportedly left uncomfortable by her boyfriend's intimate scenes in The Complete Unknown.
'She's at Risk of Driving Him Away'
Timothée Chalamet starred as Bob Dylan in 'A Complete Unknown.'
In the hit biopic, Chalamet played Bob Dylan, who had romantic connections with Sylvie Russo (Elle Fanning) and Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro).
"That was hard for Kylie. She tried to play it cool, but it took a toll on her," the source shared.
"The problem is he’s not going to want to limit the roles he can take," noted the source. "Timothée says kissing a costar is just work, and there’s nothing romantic about it. But Kylie’s afraid he’ll walk away from her if these love scenes continue."
"The reality is she’s at risk of driving him away with talk like that."

Kylie Jenner reportedly wanted Caitlyn and Timothée Chalamet to have limited contact.
Jenner isn't only hoping to keep him away from leading ladies. As Radar previously reported, she's also been keeping Chalamet away from her conservative parent, Caitlyn, to avoid conflicts over differing beliefs, according to a separate insider.
"She's worried about Caitlyn's MAGA politics and her habit of oversharing private details in the press. This has nothing to do with Caitlyn being transgender," added the insider, noting that the actor is very committed to progressive causes. "Kylie respects that and wants to make sure their worlds mesh slowly."
