Olympic legend Caitlyn Jenner has publicly given her blessing to the high-profile relationship between her youngest daughter, Kylie Jenner, and award-winning actor Timothée Chalamet. In a candid new interview, Jenner distilled her thoughts on the three-year romance into a succinct and telling two-word review.
Family Seal of Approval
Speaking to TMZ, Caitlyn Jenner was direct when asked for her opinion on the Golden Globe-winning star, who has been dating her billionaire daughter since 2023. "Great kid," Jenner stated, before elaborating further on his character and career. She praised Chalamet's performance in the film Marty Supreme, labelling him a "phenomenal actor".
Most importantly for the parent, Jenner emphasised how Chalamet treats her daughter. "He's a good kid, and he's very good to Kylie – even more important," she affirmed. This family endorsement comes as the couple's relationship has deepened significantly, moving far beyond early speculation that it was a publicity stunt.
A Relationship Blossoming in the Spotlight
Timothée Chalamet, 30, and Kylie Jenner, 28, have steadily progressed from a fiercely private pairing to a publicly acknowledged unit. Recent reports indicate they have been living together for over a year, and the New York-born actor is said to be actively involved in the lives of Kylie's two children: seven-year-old Stormi and three-year-old Aire, whom she shares with ex-partner Travis Scott.
A source told Page Six earlier this month that the pair are "basically married" and "obsessed with each other." This shift is also evident in their public appearances. After a discreet start, the couple have recently attended major awards ceremonies together, including the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Critics' Choice Awards, where they have been spotted sharing affectionate moments.
Public Declarations of Love
Chalamet, who was once extremely guarded about his personal life, has begun to openly acknowledge his partner from the podium. At the Critics' Choice Awards, where he won Best Actor, he thanked "my partner of three years" for their foundation, declaring "I love you" as Kylie reciprocated from the audience.
The sentiment was repeated at the Golden Globes just days later, where he dedicated his Best Actor win for Marty Supreme to his parents and his partner, saying, "I love you so much." These milestones mark a stark contrast to the couple's first public debut at a Beyoncé concert in September 2023, where they were seen with Kylie's sister Kendall Jenner.
The relationship, which Kylie once described to British Vogue as a source of private happiness, now enjoys the full and vocal support of her family, with Caitlyn Jenner's simple yet powerful verdict underscoring a significant chapter in this modern celebrity romance.
