Not only was Timothée Chalamet seen partying at Coachella, but one witness claimed he was kissing model Sarah Talabi while at the festival. The onlooker reported the tidbit to gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi (via Page Six). In one of Talabi’s Instagram Stories posts on April 18, she tagged Chalamet, which added fuel to the fire. “Had the best time with the best group of people,” the Victoria’s Secret model wrote while tagging her sister and the “Dune” star.
A day later, Talabi addressed the rumors about her and Chalamet. As evidenced by her Instagram posts, Talabi confirmed to Page Six on April 19 she was at Coachella “and a few other private parties,” along with her twin sister. However, Talabi remained coy while addressing her reported smooch. “Everyone is asking me if I was kissing Timothée Chalamet at Coachella, and that is a good question,” she said, deflecting the inquiry. “But a great question would be asking our world leaders why the Earth is now losing 1.2 trillion tons of ice each year due to global warming,” the model said, urging people to contact their local leaders about the climate crisis.
Talabi had shown off some of her Coachella looks in Instagram posts, but some fans were more concerned with her rumored Chalamet romance. One Instagram user bluntly asked, “[A]re you dating timothée.”
