The post quickly gained traction among fans who have been speculating about the pageant titlist's romantic life, fueling rumors that Kylie is indeed seeing someone.
In Kylie's series of photo albums on social media, the two were pictured cozying up in St. Tropez— a coastal town on the French Riviera, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southeastern France.
She was wearing a yellow mini dress featuring a three-pinch design on the front panel and an A-line skirt from Los Angeles-based luxury brand Nana Jacqueline.
Tag price: USD465 or PHP27,295.50.
Meanwhile, her Caucasian companion sported a white round neck shirt paired with black pants and white sneakers.
"Soft launching" is a social media trend defined as a subtle inclusion of the person you're dating into your online presence.
KYLIE ENJOYS FRANCE
The Miss International 2016 titleholder spent a couple of weeks in France in time for the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival from May 14, 2020 to May 25, 2024.
Gracing the red carpet with three gorgeous looks on subsequent days, Kylie cemented herself as a showstopper.
Her first look was straight from the Cannes Film Festival opening night, where she wore a black Mark Bumgarner piece.
For the world premiere of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga — starred by Chris Hemsworth and Anya Taylor-Joy — on May 15, 2024, Kylie stunned with another creation of the celebrated Filipino fashion designer.
This time, she donned a pastel pink ball gown with soft frills running from near the corset hem down to the skirt hem.
Finally, at the Kinds of Kindness world premiere two days later, the 32-year-old model turned heads in a black and yellow fable-themed gown with puff sleeves and garden-inspired prints on it from Sophie Couture.

ON KEEPING DISTANCE WITH EXES
During an interview with Ogie Diaz for his YouTube vlog on April 9, 2024, Kylie disclosed her genuine thoughts about ex-lovers being friends.
The beauty queen-turned-actress candidly admitted that she does not believe friendship should still be optional for couples who have parted ways.
"I don't believe exes should be friends. Respeto rin sa bago mong partner at sa bago niyang partner.
"Ako, you can be civil, pero iyong nakikipag-usap ka ng ‘Hi, how are you? Kumusta ka na?’ To me, medyo weird yun.
"You can be civil. You don't have to have any bad feelings towards each other," she explains.
"But I don’t think there should still be a friendship. Kasi, bakit pa?"
She stood by the belief that once a relationship ends, she and her ex-boyfriend should just remain acquaintances and not friends, regardless of the many years they spent together.
"Iba kasi yung sa akin, kasi matagal. Matagal yung relationship. Like for example, five years, baka nga engaged na kayo, friends pa kayo, tapos naghiwalay, parang, ‘Huh, ang weird.’
"If it's a quick relationship, sure, you can be friends. Why not, right?
"But if it's a long, committed relationship, and talking about the future, then no."
Kylie's most recent celebrity relationship was with Kapamilya actor Jake Cuenca.
Their relationship lasted for three years before they broke up in April 2022.
In an interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) on March 5, 2024, Kylie admitted that she and Jake are not on speaking terms.
Currently, Jake is in a "low-key" relationship with fellow Kapamilya star Chie Filomeno.
"We're happy. We're really happy. And keeping things low key," Chie confirmed on May 25, 2024, when she was launched as the first endorser of skin-care brand SkeenCare.
"Siyempre, first time ko rin na... Siyempre we know naman na he's already Jake Cuenca, but to think na parang nirerespeto niya yung gusto kong mangyari, yung time.
"Siyempre I just don't want to be Jake Cuenca's someone or significant other.
"So he's very respectful sa aspect na iyan and I'm really happy."
