Kylie Jenner's brother has gone to bat for his younger sister after accusations about their relationship emerged, telling online commentators to just 'leave the happy couple alone'.
Brody Jenner, 42, spoke out after fresh allegations emerged that cast doubt on Timothée Chalamet and Kylie's very public relationship, which on Sunday saw the businesswoman support her actor boyfriend as his Marty Supreme film failed to pick up a single Oscar.
Claims published by the Daily Mail allege that 30-year-old Chalamet had a non-exclusive relationship with a former adult entertainer, Sarah Tena, that began in 2020 after the pair connected over social media.
Tena could not understand it when she saw the Dune actor linked to Jenner as their relationship developed in 2023, telling the publication: “I see these things about him dating Kylie Jenner and I was very confused about that."

Tena continued: “At first, I thought it was fake news and then I was like maybe it's a PR thing. But now it looks like maybe they are together. I don't know… It doesn't add up.”
Brody came across Tena's claims in an Instagram post and responded in the comments section, urging people to lay off Chalamet and Jenner after Tena claimed she had started dating Chalamet six years ago.
Tena alleged that the first time she went over to his place, he had a number of scripts lying around for the Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown.
Tena said: “I went over there and he had all these scripts up for the Bob Dylan role and I was like, ‘What is this?’ and he’s like, ‘It’s for Bob Dylan. I’m going to play him,’ and I was like, ‘That’s so cool.”
The relationship that she alleges developed over the ensuing few years, as he flew around the world for various filming engagements, ended with her being smitten for the young actor.
She went on to say: “I was in love with Timothée, yeah. I didn’t say those exact words to him.
"I had said, ‘I have feelings for you,’ and pretty much expressed I want to continue.
"I let him know that I wanted it to be more consistent … I wanted it to be where we made more time for one another. New York kind of sealed that for me.”
The 32-year-old former adult film star detailed how she had wished Chalamet a happy birthday in January 2023, but was disappointed when the only response she got from the actor was a simple like.
Three weeks later, he was seen with Jenner in public and by April, the celebrity power couple were officially dating.
Naturally, Tena's claims about Chalamet and Jenner having a 'PR' relationship, as well as her own infatuation, set the speculation-spinning parts of the internet wild, causing Kylie's brother Brody to respond to a Page Six story about the allegations.
“Oh god just leave the happy couple alone,” he wrote. “People have lives before they meet their person.
"This girl is clearly doing this for attention, and everyone can see right through it.”
Tena's revelations to the Daily Mail came amid a series of bad news stories for the actor, after he made some controversial comments about opera and ballet.
With attendance numbers falling across both art forms, he made the fairly bland comment: "I don't want to be working in ballet, or opera, or things where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this anymore.'"
He added: "All respect to all the ballet and opera people out there."
