Timothée Chalamet’s Mom Has Sweet Reaction to His Critics Choice Awards 2026 Win

“Lastly, I'll just say thank you to my partner of three years,” he said at the end of his speech. “Thank you for our foundation.”

But he didn't stop there. Timmy also publicly declared his love for Kylie for the first time, adding, “I love you. I couldn't do this without you.”

The camera then cut to the Kardashians star in the audience mouthing "I love you" back to him from the audience.

Timothée's declaration was a major contrast to how he and Kylie had previously handled their relationship in public, which is to say they didn't discuss it at all.

While the couple, who was first romantically linked in April 2023 after crossing paths during Paris Fashion Week that January, has made several public appearances together—including attending the 2025 Golden Globes together, as well as making their red carpet debut as a couple at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in May—they had yet to speak on their romance during interviews, with Timmy even telling Vogue in November he would not speak about it.

"I don’t say that with any fear,” he told the outlet. “I just don’t have anything to say."
