Kylie Jenner ‘Ecstatic’ Over Timothée Chalamet’s Oscar Nomination, Source Says

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet continue to turn heads with their romance. The couple started dating in 2023 and are going strong at the start of 2025. Jenner accompanied Chalamet to the Golden Globes in January. Now that Chalamet has been nominated for an Oscar, she’s allegedly “ecstatic” over the nomination. Here’s what to know.

Kylie Jenner couldn’t be happier for Timothée Chalamet over his Oscar nomination

Timothée Chalamet is making history in 2025. He’s nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role thanks to his work in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. At 29 years old, this makes him the youngest two-time Best Actor Oscar nominee since James Dean. Chalamet was also nominated for Best Actor in 2018 for his role in Call Me By Your Name.

Kylie Jenner couldn’t be prouder of her man. She and Chalamet have been dating since 2023 and choose to keep their relationship private. A source told Page Six that Jenner was “screaming with excitement” when she found out about Chalamet’s nomination.

According to the source, Jenner “had a feeling Timothée was going to be nominated, but actually seeing his name pop up on the TV screen was incredible.” She “is ecstatic and she’s so proud of him.”

“Kylie is absolutely thrilled and can’t wait to see Timothée in person so they can celebrate this special moment in his life,” the insider continued.

Chalamet received a Best Actor nomination at the Golden Globes in 2025. The source noted he gladly had Jenner “by his side during one of the most meaningful moments of his life.”

“Timothée is used to attending award shows and events, but it was nice having Kylie there to support him,” they continued. “Kylie really is his best friend and his biggest supporter. They have such a strong connection, and he was so thankful she could be there with him.”

Will Kylie Jenner accompany her famous boyfriend to the Academy Awards?

It’s too soon to say whether Kylie Jenner will accompany Timothée Chalamet to the 97th Academy Awards in March 2025. However, given Jenner’s alleged excitement over Chalamet’s Best Actor nomination, it seems more than likely that she’ll attend as his date. Jenner seemed happy to head to the Golden Globes to support Chalamet in January 2025.

While Jenner gladly shows her love and adoration for Chalamet at awards ceremonies, a witness told The U.S. Sun that she looked out of her element at the Golden Globes. Jenner is used to having the media spotlight on her, but not at a formal Hollywood event.

“Kylie seemed very uncomfortable all night, just so tense and awkward most of the night,” the eyewitness revealed. “You’d see brief moments where she connected with Timothée or bonded with the girls at her table [Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro]. … But everyone was coming up constantly to talk to Elle and Timothee; no one knew who Kylie was, and if they did, basically everyone didn’t acknowledge her.”

Timothée Chalamet allegedly doesn’t want his relationship to ‘overshadow’ his professional work

Timothée Chalamet has become an in-demand actor — and his Best Actor nominations will likely bring him more work. Chalamet and Kylie Jenner are notoriously private regarding their romance. A source told In Touch Weekly that the couple keeps their relationship out of the public eye so it doesn’t “overshadow” Chalamet’s professional life.

An insider told In Touch Weekly in October 2024 that Chalamet “has too many important movies in the works,” and “doesn’t want his relationship with Kylie, who makes headlines by just stepping outside, to overshadow his career.”

Jenner allegedly feels “fine” about retaining her privacy.

“Privacy is so important to me in life,” she told British Vogue.
