It’s one of those viral theories that the internet just can’t let go of, the idea that Kylie Jenner only dates guys whose names start with the letter “T.” When you look at her dating history, it’s hard not to notice: Tyga, Travis Scott, and now Timothée Chalamet. Three relationships, three T’s.
Fans think it’s way more than a coincidence, especially since Kylie once had a small “T” tattoo she got while dating Tyga. But as much as it sounds like a deliberate move, there’s zero proof that Kylie has ever said she picks her partners based on their initials.
Of course, Kylie has never confirmed this, and it could just be one of those patterns the internet loves to obsess over. Even though she later had it changed from lowercast ‘T’ to ‘LA’ after she broke up with Tyga, the theory goes that the letter still holds some kind of personal or emotional significance for her, almost like a subconscious magnet pulling her toward “T” men.
Either way, the theory has totally taken off, and the “T theory” is now officially part of Kylie Jenner’s dating lore. And if her next boyfriend’s name doesn’t start with a T, fans are definitely going to lose it.
1. Kylie Jenner and Tyga
Kylie Jenner’s relationship with Tyga was one of the most talked-about chapters of her early fame, and it all started way back before she was even an adult. The two first met in 2011 at Kendall Jenner’s 16th birthday party, when Kylie was just 14 and Tyga was 21 (via Glamour).
They stayed in the same social circle for a few years, but by 2014, rumors started flying that there was something more going on between them. Fans really took notice after Tyga showed up at Kylie’s 17th birthday party and the two began popping up on each other’s Instagram feeds.
By 2015, Kylie had turned 18, and the couple finally went public. Tyga gifted her a Ferrari for her birthday, and they became one of the most photographed pairs of the time, red carpets, music videos, and matching style moments included. Their relationship was super on-and-off, though, and the media couldn’t get enough of their breakups and makeups.
In November 2015, Kylie and Tyga briefly split before getting back together, and this cycle continued until they officially called it quits in April 2017. Despite all the noise and controversy surrounding their age gap, Kylie has kept things classy when reflecting on that time.
In 2021, she said she and Tyga aren’t friends but have no bad blood, saying, (via E! News)
We’re not friends, but we are OK. If I see him out … I always wish him well. I have no bad feelings towards him.
Still, that relationship became one of the most defining parts of her early dating history and even sparked a fan theory that she only dates guys whose names start with “T.”

2. Kylie and Travis Scott
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott’s love story has been one of the most talked-about romances in Hollywood, a mix of chemistry, chaos, and co-parenting goals. The two first sparked dating rumors in April 2017, when they were spotted getting cozy at Coachella, not long after Kylie’s split from Tyga.
Things moved fast from there, and by summer, they were inseparable, traveling together and even getting matching butterfly tattoos. Their relationship felt like a whirlwind, full of music, luxury, and those paparazzi-perfect moments that had everyone talking.
Then came February 2018, when Kylie shocked the world by announcing she’d secretly given birth to their daughter, Stormi Webster. It was a defining moment. Kylie had managed to keep her entire pregnancy private, and Travis was right there by her side.
The two quickly became a full-blown power couple, attending red carpets together and giving fans rare glimpses of their family life on social media. But like most high-profile relationships, things weren’t always smooth. By late 2019, they hit their first major bump and decided to take a break, though they continued to co-parent Stormi and remained close.
In early 2022, they welcomed their second child, Aire Webster, proving that despite the ups and downs, they still shared a deep bond. But by 2023, reports confirmed they’d split again, this time for good, with sources saying they were simply on “different pages” and wanted to focus on raising their kids.
Still, Kylie and Travis have kept things respectful and supportive, often seen together at family events. And, of course, fans can’t help but notice that Travis continues Kylie’s now-infamous dating pattern, another man with a T-name.
3. Kylie and Timothée Chalamet

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet were the plot twist no one saw coming. When dating rumors first surfaced in April 2023, fans couldn’t believe the pairing: the makeup mogul and reality TV queen with Hollywood’s artsy heartthrob?
It sounded like fan fiction. But soon enough, the whispers turned into solid proof when Kylie’s car was spotted outside Timothée’s L.A. home multiple times, and sources started confirming that the two were, in fact, seeing each other.

Things really went public at Beyoncé’s Renaissance concert in September 2023, when Kylie and Timothée were spotted making out in the VIP section, completely unfazed by the flashing cameras around them. That viral moment basically broke the internet and confirmed what fans had been speculating for months.
From there, the two started showing up at events together like the US Open, where they looked all cute and giggly, and later at Paris Fashion Week, where their chemistry spoke for itself.

What made their relationship stand out was how different it felt from Kylie’s past romances. Timothée brought a quieter, more artistic vibe to her world, and fans noticed how low-key and effortless things seemed between them. Despite both being insanely famous, they kept things private, no over-the-top PDA or social media flexing, just a chill and genuine connection.
Still, eagle-eyed fans couldn’t help but point out one interesting detail – Timothée’s name continues Kylie’s now-iconic “T streak.” After Tyga and Travis Scott, Timothée marked her third boyfriend with a T name, fueling the viral theory that her mysterious T tattoo is no coincidence.

At this point, it’s safe to say Kylie Jenner’s love life might just be written in the stars or in her T tattoo. Whether it’s Tyga, Travis, or Timothée, her dating history proves one thing: the “T” theory isn’t just a coincidence, it’s basically her romantic signature. And honestly, fans are living for the pattern.
