In a tender public moment, actor Timothée Chalamet dedicated part of his award acceptance speech to his longtime girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. The occasion was the Critics Choice Awards ceremony on Sunday night, where Chalamet took home the trophy for Best Actor.
A Heartfelt Tribute on Stage
While accepting his award for the film "Marty Supreme," Chalamet, 30, concluded his remarks with a personal note. He looked directly at Jenner in the audience and said, "And lastly, I’ll just say thank you to my partner of three years." He expressed gratitude for their shared foundation, declared his love, and emphasized, "I couldn’t do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." The cameras captured Jenner, 28, visibly moved and mouthing the words "I love you" back to him.
The Couple's Relationship Timeline
This public acknowledgment marks a significant moment for the pair, who have carefully navigated their high-profile romance. Dating rumors first linked Chalamet and Jenner in April 2023. Their first confirmed public appearance together came at Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour in early September 2023. Later that same month, they were photographed attending the U.S. Open.
Since then, they have made several joint appearances, including at the WSJ. Magazine’s Innovator Awards—where Jenner was an honoree—and the 2024 Golden Globes. A major red carpet milestone occurred in May 2025 at the 70th David di Donatello Awards in Rome, which served as their official debut as a couple on the red carpet. Just last month, they turned heads again in coordinating orange outfits at another event, an ensemble that was humorously parodied at the very same Critics Choice Awards by "Hacks" stars Megan Stalter and Paul W. Downs.
A Competitive Win and a Personal First
Chalamet's win was a notable achievement, as he was competing in a category with formidable actors. His fellow nominees included Leonardo DiCaprio for "One Battle After Another," Joel Edgerton for "Train Dreams," Ethan Hawke for "Blue Moon," Michael B. Jordan for "Sinners," and Wagner Moura for "The Secret Agent."
Most significantly, Sunday night's speech was the first time Chalamet has formally thanked Jenner during an award acceptance, moving their relationship further into the public spotlight and delighting fans who have followed their journey together.
