Former adult entertainer Sarah Tena claimed she had a secret romance with Timothée Chalamet and was “blindsided” by his relationship with Kylie Jenner.
The 32-year-old said her non-exclusive romance with the “Marty Surpeme” star allegedly began in January 2020, when Tena slid in Chalamet’s DM’s from her professional account after seeing his performance in “The King.”
“I thought, ‘Oh, who’s this actor,’ because I’d never seen him before, so I looked him up on Instagram,’ she told the Daily Mail.
“I was like, ‘Oh, this guy is handsome.’ Then a couple weeks go by, and he posts a story,” Tena shared.
Tena claimed she became persistent in trying to get Chalamet’s attention online by sending him messages but it wasn’t until three months later that the Oscar nominee finally responded.
“I wanted to talk to him, and he hearts what I had responded back … and he just likes it,” she claimed.
That May, Tena claimed Chalamat, 30, sent her a message and they exchanged phone numbers. Once she told the “Dune” actor that she was in Los Angeles, they decided to meet that evening.
Tena told the Daily Mail that she and Chalamet were both “nervous” meeting each other and shared that the hangout took place at one of the Golden Globe winner’s friends’ beachfront home in Santa Monica, Calif.
Tena claimed she and Chalamet immediately “clicked” and they drank wine and talked about their love for film.
She even claimed that the “Wonka” actor serenaded her with Bob Dylan songs. (Chalamet was officially announced to be cast as the “Like a Rolling Stone” crooner in “A Complete Unknown” in January 2020.)
“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,’” Tena claimed.
“He played me a few songs and he was so great. He had been practicing maybe for a month he told me,” she told the Daily Mail.
Tena claimed Chalamet “made the first move” and she “did stay that night with him.” They also “had a wonderful, wonderful time,” per the outlet.
They allegedly began seeing each other nearly every other month.
In June 2022, Tena said she expressed her true feelings to Chalamet, telling the Daily Mail, “I knew there were feelings involved for both of us that’s why it continued for as long as it did.”
“But I had finally expressed how I felt and I let him know that I had feelings for him and he did too. We both did,” she added.
“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 following January, Tena said she wished Chalamet a happy birthday and he simply “hearted” the message.
However, less than three weeks later, the “Call Me by Your Name” star was spotted interacting with Jenner, 28, at Jean Paul Gaultier’s Paris Fashion Week show. In April 2023, photos were publishedof the “Kardashian” star’s Range Rover outside Chalamet’s Beverly Hills, Calif., home.
The award-winning actor and Jenner then took things public, appearing at several events together such as the US Open, Golden Globes, Critics’ Choice Awards and more.
“I see these things about him dating Kylie Jenner and I was very confused about that,” Tena told the Daily Mail.
“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,” she shared.
Tena, who believes she has nothing in common with Jenner besides being a mom, claimed to the DailyMail that Chalamet’s swift move to the reality star was “disrespectful.”
“I miss him. I do miss him a lot because I haven’t seen him in a couple of years,” she told the outlet.
“I did get down and a little sad about the whole thing because I was like, ‘Wow, I might not ever see him again,’ and when I had always felt so sure about him and I and it turned the complete opposite of that,” Tena added.
“I never thought him and I would stop talking because we had that friendship also. He’s changed. I know he’s changed. Hollywood changes people.”
The model also claimed she believed Chalamet is fully committed to Jenner because “if he had an open relationship with her, we’d still be seeing each other.”
Page Six has reached out to Tena and Chalamet’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
