HOLLYWOOD – Timothée Chalamet’s mother, Nicole Flender, received a public show of support from Kris Jenner after the actor’s big win at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, highlighting the warm bond between Chalamet’s family and his partner Kylie Jenner.

Chalamet, 27, who has been dating Kylie Jenner since April 2023, won the Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy for his role in Marty Supreme, a film currently in theaters.

Kris Jenner’s Social Media Support

On Tuesday, January 13, Kris Jenner, 70, left an enthusiastic comment under Flender’s Instagram post celebrating her son’s award. Flender’s video, posted on January 4, showed Kate Hudson announcing Chalamet’s win on the awards broadcast.

“My son just won the Critics Choice Award for best actor!!” Flender wrote.

Jenner responded:

“So exciting!!!!!!! 🥳❤️👏🏼🤩”

The exchange reflects the growing closeness between Chalamet’s family and the famed Jenner clan, with Jenner publicly endorsing the relationship between her daughter and the award-winning actor.

A Heartfelt Acknowledgment at the Critics Choice Awards

During the star-studded event, Chalamet acknowledged his partner while delivering his acceptance speech. After thanking his fellow nominees, his team, and director Josh Safdie, he said:

“And lastly, I’ll just say, thank you to my partner of three years.”

Kylie, 28, watched from the audience and mouthed “I love you, too” in response as Chalamet motioned toward her.

He also expressed gratitude to his parents:

“My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up. Always be grateful for what you have. It’s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here. I’d be lying if I didn’t say those moments didn’t make this moment that much sweeter. For my parents, for my partner, I love you. Thank you so much.”

Chalamet had also thanked Kylie and his parents moments earlier at the Golden Globes on January 11, 2026, highlighting the central role his family and partner play in his life and career.
