Kylie Jenner’s mom and Timothee Chalamet’s mom are already besties.
Kris Jenner publicly celebrated the actor’s latest win after his mother, Nicole Flender, shared her excitement online following his Critics Choice Award victory for Marty Supreme.
On Tuesday, January 13, the 70-year-old momager commented on Flender’s Instagram post praising her son’s achievement. “My son just won the Critics Choice Award for best actor!!” Flender wrote alongside a video showing Kate Hudson announcing Chalamet’s win during the ceremony.
“So exciting!!!!!!!” Jenner chimed in, adding multiple celebratory emojis.
The sweet exchange comes as Chalamet continues to rack up trophies during the 2026 awards season. Chalamet, who has been linked to Jenner’s youngest daughter Kylie Jenner since April 2023, attended the Critics Choice Awards with Kylie by his side and made sure to acknowledge her during his acceptance speech.
After thanking his fellow nominees, his team, and director Josh Safdie, Chalamet turned his focus to Kylie in the audience. “And lastly, I'll just say, thank you to my partner of three years,” he said. “Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn't do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.” Kylie could be seen mouthing “I love you, too.”
Just days later, Chalamet echoed that gratitude at the Golden Globes. “My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up,” he said, before adding, “For my parents, for my partner, I love you. Thank you so much.”
