Caitlyn Jenner keeps her views simple regarding her daughter Kylie Jenner's high-profile romance with actor Timothée Chalamet. As rumors about the couple continue to spread, including claims they are "basically married," the former Olympic champion offers a brief but meaningful response about the actor now in the Kardashian-Jenner circle.
Caitlyn's Focus on Happiness
Speaking to TMZ, Caitlyn addressed Kylie's relationship with the Golden Globe-winning star. She made her priority clear: her daughter's well-being. "I just want my daughter to be happy, and she is," Caitlyn stated. When asked directly about Chalamet, she gave a succinct reply: "Great kid."
Caitlyn added that she saw Timothée in Marty Supreme, calling him a "phenomenal actor." She continued, "He's a good kid, and he's very good to Kylie, even more important."
A Serious Three-Year Relationship
Timothée, 30, and Kylie, 28, have been dating for three years. Early speculation that their relationship was a publicity stunt has faded. They now appear settled into something far more serious.
Recent reports claim the couple has lived together for over a year. Timothée is said to be involved in the lives of Kylie's two children, Stormi, seven, and Aire, three. She shares them with ex-boyfriend Travis Scott.
Public Praise and Private Boundaries
Earlier this month, Page Six reported that Kylie and Timothée are "basically married," though not officially engaged. A source told the outlet, "They're obsessed with each other and always together."
Chalamet has historically guarded his personal life. This changed in recent months. He has appeared alongside Kylie at major awards ceremonies like the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Critics' Choice Awards.
During his Critics' Choice Awards acceptance speech for Best Actor, Timothée said, "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." Kylie was seen replying, "I love you."
At the Golden Globes on Sunday, where he won Best Actor in a Motion Picture for Marty Supreme, he again acknowledged her support. He said, "For my parents, for my partner - I love you so much."
Valuing Privacy
Despite their growing public presence, Kylie stresses the importance of privacy. Speaking to British Vogue last year, she said, "Privacy is so important to me in life." She added, "It feels so good."
The couple made their first public appearance together at Beyoncé's Renaissance tour at SoFi Stadium on September 4, 2023. Days later, they attended the US Open final. They were spotted kissing during the match between Daniil Medvedev and Novak Djokovic.
