What the Kardashian-Jenner Family Has Said About Timothée Chalamet
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have quietly built one of Hollywood’s most talked‑about romances since they were first linked in April 2023. The couple made their red carpet debut in May 2025 at the David Di Donatello Awards in Rome after more than two years together. And they continued to publicly support each other through major moments, like the 2026 Critics Choice Awards and Golden Globes, where Chalamet thanked Jenner onstage. So, what do Kylie’s family members think of Chalamet? Here’s what they’ve said so far.
Caitlyn Jenner called Timothée Chalamet a ‘great kid’ and wants Kylie Jenner to be happy
Caitlyn Jenner has publicly praised Timothée Chalamet as her daughter Kylie Jenner’s partner, offering one of the most positive family endorsements of the high‑profile relationship. In a recent interview at Los Angeles International Airport, Caitlyn said she has met Chalamet and believes he is a “great kid” and a “phenomenal actor” who treats Kylie well.
“I just want my daughter to be happy,” Caitlyn explained, according to People. “And she is, and I like that.”
Caitlyn’s warm remarks, including that Chalamet has made a strong impression on her, suggest solid support from Kylie’s family amid widespread media attention on the couple’s romance. The approval from Kylie’s parent comes at a time when Chalamet’s career is thriving with his award wins for Marty Surpreme.
Kris Jenner has shown subtle support on Instagram
Kris Jenner has steadily shown her support for Timothée Chalamet as her daughter Kylie Jenner’s partner, even if she doesn’t always comment directly on their romance. One of the most visible endorsements came in December 2025. Kris took to her Instagram Stories wearing and promoting merchandise for Chalamet’s film Marty Supreme. She wore a Marty Supreme bomber jacket, subtly signaling her approval of both his work and Kylie’s connection to him.
In early 2026, Kris also publicly celebrated Chalamet’s awards success by engaging on social media with his family’s posts. After Chalamet’s mother shared a clip of his Critics Choice Award win for Marty Supreme, Kris enthusiastically commented on the post with celebratory emojis and praise. “So exciting!!!!!!!” Kris commented, according to People. Her online interaction came at the same time Chalamet publicly thanked Kylie as his “partner” during his award acceptance.
Khloé Kardashian slyly mentioned Timothée Chalamet on an episode of The Kardashians
Khloé Kardashian has only occasionally commented on Kylie Jenner’s relationship with Timothée Chalamet, and when she does, it’s usually playful. On a November 2025 episode of The Kardashians, Khloé joked about going to NBA games with her sister. She said, “We’re not dating basketball players — we’re going to the games courtside, baby!”
The remark was a lighthearted way of acknowledging Chalamet’s presence in Kylie’s life without directly praising or critiquing him, reflecting Khloé’s style of supporting her sister while keeping the family’s personal matters private.
Kylie Jenner mouthed ‘I love you’ to Timothée Chalamet at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards
Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, as well as Kendall Jenner, haven’t publicly spoken about Timothée Chalamet. While Kylie Jenner herself has been relatively private about her relationship, she’s occasionally shared insights into how she feels about keeping their romance out of the spotlight and how she supports him publicly.
In a past interview, Kylie explained that she prefers to keep her personal life, especially her relationship with Chalamet, to herself rather than making it fodder for media speculation, noting that public opinion can make decisions “tougher” when a relationship is constantly analyzed online.
Their connection has still played out in visible moments. At the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, Chalamet gave a heartfelt shoutout to Kylie, calling her his “partner of three years” during his Best Actor acceptance speech. Kylie mouthed “I love you” back from the audience, signaling mutual affection in front of millions.
