Chalamet seems to be pretty secretive about her relationship status. She has not disclosed whether or not she is dating a boyfriend.
Scrolling down her Instagram account, we don't find her posting a photo with any guy who we could assume to be her boyfriend or husband. However, she has once posted a photo of a kid but we could not say she is the mother of that kid.
We hope Chalamet reveals her dating history soon.
