At the Critics Choice Awards, Timothée Chalamet made waves by publicly declaring his affection for Kylie Jenner during his acceptance speech. This heartfelt moment was notable as it unveiled a new chapter in their relationship, which they had previously kept away from the spotlight.
Timothée Chalamet publicly acknowledged his relationship with Kylie Jenner for the first time at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday, January 4. During his Best Actor acceptance speech, Chalamet, 30, thanked Jenner, 28 and declared his love for her, eliciting a visible reaction from the reality star. This marks a significant public display from the couple, who have largely maintained privacy around their relationship despite several red carpet appearances together.
Chalamet surprised audiences when he addressed Jenner directly from the awards podium. He expressed his gratitude for her support and their shared foundation.
“Lastly, I'll just say, thank you to my partner of three years, thank you for our foundation,” Chalamet said.
He continued to express his deep appreciation for her presence in his life.
“I love you. I couldn't do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Jenner, seated among the other attendees, responded to Chalamet's heartfelt words. Cameras captured her warm smile and a mouthed response.
The couple has previously kept their relationship private, with Chalamet stating just two months prior that he had nothing to say about it publicly. He told Vogue, “I don’t say that with any fear. I just don’t have anything to say.”
Despite their generally low-key approach, Chalamet and Jenner have marked recent milestones. Chalamet left a flirty comment on Jenner's Instagram, using orange heart emojis under a photo of her in an orange gown from a date night at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 3.
The following day, they attended the Critics Choice Awards. Chalamet was nominated for Best Actor alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Joel Edgerton, Ethan Hawke, Michael B. Jordan, and Wagner Moura.
Jenner, who has two children, Stormi and Aire, with her former partner Travis Scott, has not publicly commented on the awards show moment. However, her on-camera reaction provided a rare insight into the couple's dynamic. The public acknowledgment from Chalamet signifies a new phase in their relationship's visibility.
