Despite this year's Golden Globes ceremony being the second they've attended as a couple, fans of Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are still in the dark as to why they failed to appear on the red carpet together.
Today, however, an insider has finally spilt the tea on their controversial decision.
For those that didn't catch Sunday night's show, New York-born Timothée had been nominated in the 'Best Actor - Drama' category for his role in the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown.

And for the second year running, he brought reality TV socialite Kylie - believed to be his girlfriend - along with him for the celebration.
The duo joined Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro's table, and were seen ceaselessly locking lips all night.
Not too dissimilar to last year's ceremony, then, during which one lip-reader interpreted one of their conversations as the couple telling each other they 'loved' and 'cared' about one another.
As we say, however, prior to another evening of intense PDA, the cosy duo arrived separately to the awards.
While Timothée made an appearance on the red carpet - posing for photos and chatting with press - Kylie only turned up for the actual ceremony. But why?
Apparently, the decision was entirely conscious, and neither were simply late to the party.
A celebrity source told Page Six this week that the choice to arrive separately was actually Kylie's, who refused to steal her boyfriend's thunder.
"Kylie didn’t want to make it about them," they explained. "She wanted this night to be all about Timothée, how it was intended to be."
The actor's Golden Globe nomination marked his fourth at these particular festivities - though it was Adrien Brody who walked away with the prestigious accolade, following his lead appearance in The Brutalist.
Thankfully, however, the insider added that, while disappointed, 29-year-old Timothée 'felt a sense of comfort having Kylie there with him'.
They went on to say that it was 'really important' that The Kardashians star would be 'there by his side during one of the most meaningful moments of his life'.
"Kylie really is his best friend and his biggest supporter. They have such a strong connection and he was so thankful she could be there with him."
While the secret source claimed that the actor couldn't have been more relieved to have the 28-year-old Kylie Cosmetics CEO by his side, fans of the pair were previously perplexed when he failed to give her a shout-out during a press conversation.
On the night, the Wonka star was asked by an Entertainment Tonight reporter about the 'support' that was there for him 'in the room'.
In a clip which later went viral online, a journalist could be heard telling Timothée: "You also have your partner in crime Kylie here too, what's it like to have her supporting you on a night like this?"
Avoiding eye contact, Timothée then awkwardly replied: "It's a great feeling to be in a room with so much love and so many great peers, and people that are fantastic."
Without referencing his other half, he then smirked before adding: "I like seeing the new wave and the new generation here, and I also like seeing everyone that's been holding it down for decades plus."
Kylie Jenner fans were also perplexed when the star posted a behind-the scenes Instagram post of the event, and Chalamet was noticeably absent from the pics.
Tyla has contacted Kylie and Timothée's representatives for comment.
