Quick Links
Kylie Jenner has a hot new man by her side, but no, it’s not what you think. Yes, she’s still with Travis Scott, as far as we know. But she’s got another man that has been spending a lot of time with her, and he’s been making plenty of waves on the internet. That’s right, we are talking about Kylie Jenner’s uber hot and handsome personal bodyguard, Tim Chung.
People are so interested in Tim Chung, that some of the biggest media outlets are even talking about him. People are seriously falling in love with this man, who just happens to be an LAPD officer and a part-time model. People can’t stop talking about Tim, as fans are leaving comments on social media such as, “I kinda want to move to L.A. so I can get arrested by Kylie Jenner’s bodyguard.” Yes, people are that seriously infatuated with him!
With all of that being said, here are 15 things you need to know about Kylie Jenner’s hot bodyguard Tim Chung. Now that he’s on everyone’s radar, we have a feeling that we will be learning a whole lot more about him and his position with the Kardashian family.
He Keeps An Eye On Stormi
As we all know, Kylie Jenner’s life has drastically changed ever since she gave birth to her daughter, Stormi. It’s Tim’s job to make sure that both Kylie and Stormi are protected during all hours of the day. And for Tim, it’s certainly not an easy job. Kylie might be a celebrity mom now, but she still loves to party. Even though she has a young baby at home, it’s pretty apparent that she hasn’t given up her former lifestyle. Just recently, Kylie was criticized for going out to Coachella while leaving Stormi at home with her nannies. Now, we really don’t know what Kylie is thinking or what goes on behind closed doors, but it doesn’t look like motherhood is slowing her down in any way.
Kylie still wants to party. She still wants to be seen. And most important, she still wants to be part of the Hollywood A-crowd. And for Tim, he just needs to keep up.
“Kylie’s sisters were worried that she wasn’t prepared for the relentlessness of motherhood; she’s 20 and gets bored easily,” a close friend tells Star Magazine. “But Kylie basically stayed indoors for nine straight months while she was pregnant, so can’t blame her for going a little stir-crazy.”
He’s Got The Toughest Job In Hollywood
Simply put, Tim Chung has one of the toughest jobs in Hollywood. There are a lot of celebrities and reality television stars that can easily go unnoticed on the streets of Beverly Hills. But that’s not the case when you are a Kardashian and a Jenner. Kylie and the rest of her family members are household names.
People from all over the world know who they are and could spot her from a mile away. This makes Tim’s job even harder.
According to People Magazine, Kylie once said, “There’s an image that I feel constantly pressured to keep up with. In order to stay relevant for the public, I have to be on Instagram and I have to be on Snapchat just keeping people entertained. And then there’s who I really am around my friends. […] It’s way easier for me to post on Snapchat or Instagram than it is to be out in public. I just feel like for so long I’ve been putting on this different persona to the world — I felt like I started to depend on social media, feeling the need to post all the time. I feel like I have to keep up this idea of who I am.”
He’s Also A Part-Time Model
Tim Chung has managed to put the internet in a tizzy with his charming good looks and his Instagram photos. A lot of people are even thinking to themselves the same thing and asking the same questions: why is it that it’s taken everyone this long to notice Tim Chung? He’s been on the job for years and we are only paying attention to him now?!
W Magazine said, “After an old paparazzi photo shot of Chung assisting Jenner into her car resurfaced last week, some social media sleuths naturally found the bodyguard's Instagram, and of course they have already begun to lust after him in the comments on nearly all of his photos."
"No longer a background player in the life of Kylie, Chung has amassed nearly 500,000 followers on Instagram, and according to his posts he appears to be a police officer in addition to Jenner's hunky, pizza-devouring, model-esque bodyguard.”
But then again, Tim is a bodyguard. It’s his job to protect her at all times, and not be in the paparazzi’s shots. He’s done a very good job of being inconspicuous. Someone, give this man a raise, a bonus, and a brand new Ferrarri. He deserves it!
He’s Getting A Lot Of Attention For His Looks
It wouldn’t surprise us if Tim Chung started getting offers for new modeling contracts. As a matter of fact, it actually surprises us that he hasn’t gotten any yet! Seriously, what’s taking so long! This man obviously wants to be a model.
With that being said, will Tim be following in the footsteps of Kylie’s sister Kendall Jenner with his own modeling career? Perhaps.
Speaking about the new age of supermodels, Kendall recently told Harper’s Bazaar, “I’ve actually talked about it with a couple of women, like Cindy Crawford, who have been doing this for a long time. I feel like social media obviously has a lot to do with how it’s different. A lot of people are like, “Oh, it’s so much easier now because you have Instagram. You don’t even need an agency anymore.' But that’s just not true. I still had to go to all the castings, I still had to go meet all the photographers, I still had to do all of that to get to where I am now. There wasn’t a step taken out just because I had social media. I still have 12-hour days, I still have even 24-hour days sometimes; I still have to do all those things. We don’t work any less hard than the ’90s models did when they were young.”
He’s Also An LAPD Cop
In some ways, you can call Tim Chung a jack of all trades. That’s because he wears many different hats. He’s a Kardashian and Jenner bodyguard. He’s an Instagram model. He’s a celebrity. And most importantly, he’s a police officer with the Los Angeles Police Department. With so many different jobs, we have a feeling that this guy is constantly on his feet. But it looks like he’s not complaining. His social media account clearly shows that he loves what he does and most importantly, he loves his life.
According to Heavy, the LAPD’s mission statement is, “It is the mission of the Los Angeles Police Department to safeguard the lives and property of the people we serve, to reduce the incidence and fear of crime, and to enhance public safety while working with the diverse communities to improve their quality of life. Our mandate is to do so with honor and integrity, while at all times conducting ourselves with the highest ethical standards to maintain public confidence.”
If that weren’t enough, he’s also on the LAPD’s basketball team. Seriously, how perfect is this guy?!
We are having a hard time believing that he’s even single. He just can’t be single.
He Takes His Job Seriously
For Tim Chung, protecting the Kardashians and Jenner from danger is his number one priority. And seeing how the Kardashians are the biggest reality television stars in the world, Tim constantly has to watch behind his back.
He knows the job is tough. Heck, even Kylie knows that working as a bodyguard for her has to be challenging.
What's more, Kylie has recently admitted that her life has changed tenfold now that she is a mother to little Stormi. She told E! News, “I feel like it’s just been so amazing, and so much fun. I’m learning so much more about myself and life, and it’s been such a great experience. Of course there’s hard times and stuff… even in the beginning, just not sleeping, the nights, like, baby blues… and all the ups and downs. And also even when I’m here it was so hard to leave this morning. I’m like, ‘I’ll be right back, I’m so sorry, I have to leave!’ and she doesn’t even know what’s going on. I think about her all the time, anywhere I am. I would rather be with her or wish she can come everywhere. I can’t wait till she can come everywhere with me, because right when she’s old enough I’ll bring her everywhere.”
He Is Literally Keeping Up With The Kardashians
If you thought that trying to keep up with the Kardashians was a tough job, try bring in Tim Chung’s shoes! It’s part of his day job. And knowing how energetic Kylie’s family is, Tim is probably kept on his toes at all times. In addition to Kylie, Tim also worked as a bodyguard for Kourtney and Kim Kardashian.
Seriously, where have they been hiding this man this entire time? Someone give him a spin-off show already! We want to Keep Up With Tim Chung. OMG, someone get Kris Jenner on the phone. We might have a profitable idea here. Seriously, why hasn't Kris thought of this yet?
According to E! News, Kylie once said, “I started filming Keeping Up with the Kardashians when I was 9 years old. I really don’t know what it’s like to not have everyone know who I am. I don’t know what it’s like to live a normal life, where people just don’t know who you are, to get out of the car and not have everyone stare at you. I feel like when you grow up on camera, people think that they know you because you’re on social media so much and you’re on reality TV.”
He’s The New Star Of The Kardashians
Move over, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kylie, Kendall, Kris and heck, even Rob. You guys haven’t even realized it yet, but you’ve been replaced by your own bodyguard. That’s right. The biggest star of the family isn’t even a Kardashian. His name is Tim Chung, and the internet is in love with him. He’s young, he’s handsome, he’s talented, and what’s more, he’s also kind and considerate. And he doesn’t mix business with pleasure. While everyone is trying to drag his name in the mud by assuming that he is the father of Kylie’s daughter, Stormi, Tim is taking the high road. In other words, he’s got class. He’s not letting the tabloid rumors get him down or worse, let him lose his job.
He recently said on Instagram (via People Magazine), “I’ve never said anything about someone else’s child or family insinuating my involvement; and will never do so,” Tim later wrote on Instagram. “Please, Stop spreading false stories and attacking people’s families. I have nothing to do with any of that. People should be able to live in peace.” Hear that world? He’s not the father. No need for a DNA test. That baby belongs to Kylie and Travis Scott.
He’s Picked Up A Few Habits From The Kardashians
Apparently, Tim Chung knows he’s hot and he’s not afraid to show it. You can tell by just looking at his Instagram feed. The man sure does love a mirror selfie. Seriously, he must have picked up a few habits from the Kardashians.
According to AZ Quotes, Kim said, “I love a selfie in the mirror,” while also adding, “Remember, people only rain on your parade because they're jealous of your sun and tired of their shade.”
What we would really like to see is a selfie of Tim and Kylie together. Ha! Speaking about her new life as a mom, Kylie said (via E! News), “I think more about the future because of her. Every time I leave and I’m stressed about leaving her, I’m like, ‘I’m doing it for you.’ Everyone says you change completely when you become a mom, but I really feel the same, just better. So I don’t know what really has completely changed my world, besides her, of course. But I feel like it’s only gotten better. You’re less selfish—and I actually enjoy changing diapers. It’s really satisfying. To make her clean again. And I don’t know, the whole thing is really… it’s like such an amazing experience.”
He Might Not Have A Job For Long, Though…
It’s a good thing that Tim Chung works for the LAPD and is also a part-time model. Because from what we know so far, he might not work for the Kardashians for too long. That’s because Kylie Jenner has made it no secret that she wants to move on from the celebrity spotlight. She wants to live a quiet life outside of Hollywood. That means no more paparazzi. No more photos ops. And certainty no need for a bodyguard. Although we are sure that someone like Tim Chung won’t be out of a job for too long. He’s probably fielding phone calls for possible opportunities as we right this. Watch this space. We have a feeling that we will be seeing much more of Tim in the future.
People Magazine quotes Kylie as saying, “I feel like this fame thing is going to come to an end sooner than we think. I’m getting the bug again, where I just want to run away. I just don’t know who I’m doing it for. … The new goal in my life is to just live. I live the most extraordinary life, and I’m very grateful. But the moments I feel completely normal and just a 19-year-old girl, it’s the best.”
He’s Athletic
If you think Tim Chung is the kind of guy who slouches around in his underwear while eating yesterday’s Taco Bell and watching canceled television shows on Hulu, think again. This guy likes to keep active, and in many different ways, too. I mean, you don’t get a fit body like that just because God said so. You’ve got to work on it, people! And work is what Tim does.
According to Seventeen Magazine, Tim is not only a member of the LAPD basketball team, but he’s also a huge L.A. Dodgers fan (but then again, who in the Los Angeles area isn’t?).
So, let’s review here: Tim Chung is handsome (and we will categorize that as a fact), he’s strong, he’s family-oriented, he is a dedicated bodyguard, he helps keep the streets of Los Angeles safe, he’s athletic, he’s a model, and he knows how to eat pizza out of a box while wearing a suit in the middle of Palm Springs. Somebody needs to act quick and put a ring on it before it’s too late. Yes, I’m talking to any of you ladies or gentlemen out there who are looking for the total package. Because guess what? You are looking at him right here!
He Has A Big Family
For Tim Chung, working for the Kardashians has to be a piece of cake. Now, that’s not to say that the job itself is easy. Instead, it’s easy for him because he actually grew up in a similar family. He has five sisters and a mother that he is very close to.
Tim often likes to share photos of his family on social media. For National Sibling Day, Tim wrote on Instagram, “Growing up with five sisters was quite the adventure! They’ve grown up to be amazing, beautiful women. Love you guys to pieces.”
Aww, how sweet! In other words, Tim was born to be a bodyguard for the Kardashians. Okay, that might not be totally true, but at least it’s a good side hustle that probably pays well. And seeing how he’s spent his entire life with women (both in a personal and professional sense) something tells us that this guy is a very understanding and patient person. And when you are around the Kardashians for a certain amount of hours per week, he certainly needs it. I mean, we’ve all seen at least one episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, right? Seriously, this guy has got to be a saint.
The Internet Can’t Get Enough Of Him
These days, you don’t have to be discovered on the streets of Los Angeles to become a star. All you need is a good Instagram account and decent lighting. And before you know it, Gucci, Givenchy, and heck, even H&M are knocking on your door. With Tim Chung, the internet seriously can’t get enough of him. Now that he is a celebrity bodyguard, his life is about to change in a major way, too. He won’t be able to go to Whole Foods without being noticed ever again.
Yet, for Kylie, if there’s anything that she wants, it’s a normal life. Tim might be enjoying all of the attention that he is getting now, but as Kylie knows all too well, there’s a dark and lonely side to fame. This is something that she obviously knows all too well. It’s her life.
She once told V magazine, “It would be a good feeling to just live a normal life for a second. I don’t know what it’s like to not be in the spotlight. That’s normal to me. There’s nothing you can do about it. There are so many great things about life, I’m just trying to focus on that.”
His Family Is Getting In On The Rumors, Too
But as we know, the internet sure is a persistent place. Tim Chung can deny the rumors all they want, but people are going to be doing side-by-side comparisons of Stormi and Tim anyhow. Now, we don’t want to ruffle any feathers, but we can see how some people might think that Tim is Stormi’s father. After all, she is a cute baby! But with that being said, let’s not forget that she IS a baby. All babies look the same. By the time Stormi is a year old, she is going to look nothing like Tim. And by the time she is 20 years old, she is going to look nothing like a Kardashian or a Jenner, for that matter.
Tim’s sister Jenny recently told Radar Online that she didn’t know if the rumors about Tim and Kylie were in fact true! Wait, what now?! As Nicole Pomarico from Café Mom puts it, “If Tim definitely didn't have a romantic relationship with Kylie, wouldn't her answer have been no? This makes it seem like there's a chance something could have been going on between them, so now we're even more confused about what to think. Then again, maybe Jenny and Tim aren't that close and don't talk about that kind of thing? What is going on?!”
He’s Also Single
Now, we know we’ve said this before, but we will go ahead and say it again: how on this Earth is Tim Chung single? Is he hiding something? Is there something that he doesn’t want to tell the world? Inquiring minds want to know. Heck, every single woman on this planet with a pulse also want to know, too. But from what we can tell, Tim likes to market himself. This prince charming is still looking for his princess and yes, he’s taking applications.
W Magazine writes, “Chung's relationship status remains unclear for now, but as of August 2015 he was ‘on lookout for bae,’ so some of those fans leaving eager comments on his photos might actually still have a chance. And while Jenner and Scott have yet to reply to any theories concerning the paternity of their baby, their recent vacation photos indicate that the two appear to remain completely unbothered by the rumor mill.”
How Kylie overlooked her own bodyguard, we don’t know. I mean, even Kourtney Kardashian had her change. Apparently, the Kardashians don’t know good quality – or a good man for that matter – when they see it. And yes, we know what you are thinking, too.
