Timothee Chalamet says 'I love you' to Kylie Jenner in his Best Actor acceptance speech

SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA: Timothee Chalamet celebrated both love and career at the 31st Annual Critics Choice Awards, publicly declaring his love for girlfriend Kylie Jenner after winning Best Actor.

The 30-year-old actor took home the award for his role in the ping-pong drama 'Marty Supreme,' beating Hollywood legend Leonardo DiCaprio at the gala in Santa Monica, California, on Sunday, January 4.

Chalamet and Jenner have been together for over two years, since their relationship began in April 2023.

During his acceptance speech, Chalamet publicly recognized his 28-year-old mogul girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, saying, “Thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn’t do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Jenner appeared teary-eyed as she stared adoringly at Chalamet on stage and said, “I love you, too.”

The New York native beat an impressive field of nominees, including Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), Michael B. Jordan (Sinners), and Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent).

Chalamet admitted he felt nervous while delivering his acceptance speech and took the time to individually recognize the actors he had competed against.

Earlier in his speech, he thanked director Josh Safdie, saying, “Thanks for crafting a role and a story. You know, Josh, you made a story about a flawed man with a relatable dream, and you didn't preach to the audience about what's right and wrong. I think we should all be telling stories like that. Thank you for this dream.”

The reality TV star and Oscar-nominated actor first started dating in April 2023, but they made their public debut when photographers spotted them kissing at Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour in early September that year.

After the concert, the couple appeared together at the 2023 US Open and the 2024 Golden Globes before walking the red carpet at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in May 2025.

A source previously told People that Jenner and Chalamet’s relationship is “fun and uncomplicated” for the mom of two. 

After more than two years of dating, they made another red carpet appearance at the David Di Donatello Awards in Rome, where Chalamet received the David for Cinematic Excellence honor. Jenner dazzled in a body-hugging Schiaparelli gown, while Chalamet complemented her look in a sleek velvet suit.

When Chalamet skipped Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party, rumors circulated that the couple had split. However, a source reported that they were still seeing each other regularly, making plans whenever Chalamet had days off during the holidays. 

Another source added, “Timothée talked about Kylie all the time while filming 'Marty Supreme,'” noting that they are “really in love.”

The couple showed off their chemistry at the Marty Supreme premiere in Los Angeles, wearing matching orange Chrome Hearts outfits as they posed on the red carpet.
