In a whirlwind of personal celebration and professional triumph, Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet and reality television star Kylie Jenner were captured embarking on an intimate escape mere hours before Chalamet secured a place in Oscars history. The couple, whose relationship has captivated public attention, appeared visibly relaxed and joyful as they arrived hand-in-hand at a private airport terminal in Los Angeles, preparing to board a sleek private jet for a romantic getaway.
A Private Departure Captured on Camera
Exclusive images obtained by The Daily Mail depict the pair walking closely side by side across the tarmac, engaged in animated conversation and shared laughter as they approached the awaiting aircraft. For the journey, Chalamet opted for a casual ensemble of dark track pants, sneakers, and a backpack, while Jenner chose black leggings paired with a light grey hoodie, accessorised with a large beige tote bag.
At one point, Jenner ascended the jet's steps first, with Chalamet following closely behind, before the couple disappeared inside the aircraft together. This spontaneous escape unfolded just one day before the Academy Award nominations were officially announced, setting the stage for a significant milestone in Chalamet's burgeoning career.
Historic Oscar Recognition for Chalamet
Shortly after their departure, Chalamet, aged 30, earned his third Best Actor Oscar nomination for his leading role in the critically acclaimed film Marty Supreme. This achievement establishes him as the youngest actor to receive three Best Actor nominations since the legendary Marlon Brando accomplished the feat in the 1950s.
The film itself emerged as a major contender this awards season, securing an impressive nine nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Film Editing. Upon learning of the nomination, Chalamet took to Instagram to celebrate, reposting coverage of the nod with the exuberant caption: 'BIG DREAAAAM!!!!!' He followed this with another post encouraging fans to 'dream big,' while sharing the film's poster and reminding audiences that Marty Supreme arrives in IMAX theatres on January 30.
A Journey Through Awards Season
Chalamet's previous nominations include his 2018 recognition for Call Me By Your Name and his 2025 nod for portraying Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. Last year, he lost out to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist. The actor has been refreshingly candid about the emotional challenges of awards season, telling Vogue in November 2025: 'If there's five people at an awards show, and four people go home losing, you don't think those four people are at the restaurant like, 'Damn, we didn't win?'
He elaborated on this sentiment during a SiriusXM appearance, humorously reflecting on the experience of preparing an acceptance speech only to leave empty-handed: 'You think to yourself, 'You narcissistic arrogant prick. On what planet did you think you were gonna use this?''
Jenner's Supportive Presence
While Jenner has yet to make a public statement regarding Chalamet's latest Oscar nomination, she has been a consistent presence by his side throughout this awards season. She accompanied him to both the Critics' Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, where he secured a win for his leading role in Marty Supreme.
Their public displays of affection have marked a notable shift for the couple, who were previously described as intensely private and even weathered rumours of a breakup just months ago. During his Golden Globes acceptance speech, Chalamet referred to Jenner as his 'partner,' telling the audience: 'To my parents and partner, I love you. Thank you so much,' as Jenner gazed adoringly from the crowd.
He reinforced this declaration at the Critics Choice Awards, stating: 'And lastly, I'll just say, thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn't do this without you.' Jenner was seen mouthing 'I love you too' in response, with the couple sharing a kiss following his victory.
Domestic Life in Los Angeles
Away from the red carpet and awards ceremonies, sources indicate that Chalamet has fully settled into domestic life with Jenner. While the couple have not secretly married, an insider previously told Page Six that they have been cohabiting in Los Angeles for over a year and behave 'like they're basically married already.'
'They're obsessed with each other and always together,' the source claimed, adding that Chalamet has become involved in the lives of Jenner's children, seven-year-old Stormi and three-year-old Aire, whom she shares with rapper Travis Scott. This romantic airport departure, captured just before a career-defining moment, offers a glimpse into the intertwined personal and professional worlds of one of Hollywood's most watched couples.
