Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are going strong as they navigate their long-distance relationship.
When the actor, 29, missed the makeup mogul’s 28th birthday celebration earlier this week, fans began to wonder if they split. However, a source tells PEOPLE the couple is still together, citing their busy schedules for why they’ve been spending more time apart.
“They haven’t seen each other for a few weeks only because Timothée’s been filming Dune in a studio in Budapest, and Kylie’s been working too,” the source says. “She visited him in July.”
“But even though Kylie has a private jet, the flight is still 12 hours,” the source adds. “She’s a mom and she works as well. She has a lot of responsibilities in LA. Timothée’s schedule is grueling, with very little downtime.”

“They’re making it work though,” the insider continues. “They FaceTime most days. They miss each other and are totally fine.”
Another source adds that Chalamet’s travels will continue as he prepares to head to Jordan and Abu Dhabi for the next leg of filming.
The Kardashians star marked another year around the sun on Aug. 10 with a chic dinner party thrown by her sister, Kendall Jenner.
In a series of photos and videos posted to Instagram, Kylie shared a peek into the festivities, which included a painting session, pictures in a photo booth and several cakes.
“best birthday ever!!!!!!!” she wrote in the caption. “I’m so grateful to my family and friends for making this weekend so special and full of love. 28 feels so good!!!!! and to my sister @kendalljenner thank you from the bottom of my heart for planning everything so perfectly. I’m so lucky to have you.”
Meanwhile, Chalamet has been teasing his upcoming film Marty Supreme on his Instagram, which Kylie subtly supported by liking a clip of the trailer.
The couple got to spend some quality time together earlier this summer when they vacationed in France.
The weekend getaway came after Kylie attended Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos’ wedding in Italy. A source told PEOPLE at the time that the pair only had a few days together before Chalamet began filming Dune: Messiah in Prague.
“They hadn’t seen each other since before the wedding, so Kylie was really excited when he arrived in France,” the insider revealed, noting that “they’re used to this kind of schedule.”
The source also said that Jenner “will fly to see him when she can,” and shared that “they’re still very happy and just making it work.”
“He knows the next few months will be exhausting, so he’s taking a moment to just relax and reset,” the source added.
