Timothée Chalamet, 29, is opening up about the possibility of becoming a dad in the future while navigating his high-profile relationship with Kylie Jenner, mom of two. In a candid interview with Vogue’s December cover, the Oscar-nominated actor reflected on fatherhood, family life, and the influence of those around him who balance career success with parenting.

Chalamet on Fatherhood: “Could Be on the Radar”

Chalamet, who has been romantically linked to Jenner since early 2023, told Vogue that while children are not immediately in the picture, they “could be on the radar” for the future. The actor shared an eye-opening moment that made him reconsider the idea of parenthood: watching a celebrity friend boast about the freedoms of life without children. Chalamet recalled,

“Like, holy s—. Oh my God. [That’s] bleak.”

This realization prompted him to reflect on the joys and responsibilities that come with raising a family.

Learning from Role Models

Chalamet emphasized that parenthood doesn’t mean sacrificing professional ambition. He cited directors like Denis Villeneuve, whom he worked with on Dune, as examples of people who successfully juggle demanding careers and family life.

“You don’t have to be selfish to be great, no. And I know, because I’ve worked with directors who are incredible and who are incredibly present in their family life,” Chalamet said.

He recounted a heartfelt moment on set where Villeneuve reunited with one of his children in a surprise visit, showing that success and family dedication can coexist.

Family Ties and Celebrity Influence

Chalamet noted that many of his peers are taking major life steps: Zendaya is engaged, Anya Taylor-Joy is married, and his sister Pauline Chalamet welcomed her first child in September 2024. These experiences appear to have influenced his openness to fatherhood in the future.

Jenner, 28, is already a mother to Stormi, 7, and Aire, 3, whom she shares with her ex, Travis Scott. A source previously told Entertainment Tonight that Chalamet has met Jenner’s children and has spent quality time with them, showing a natural affinity for parenting. The insider added that Jenner is open to having another child with Chalamet “someday.”

Privacy in Their Relationship

While Chalamet spoke about family and future children, he declined to discuss specifics about his romance with Jenner, stating,

“I don’t say that with any fear, I just don’t have anything to say.”

Despite the actor’s discretion, the couple has been seen enjoying date nights, including an outing in early October, suggesting their relationship remains strong and flourishing.

Balancing Career and Personal Life

Chalamet’s comments highlight the delicate balance between a thriving career in Hollywood and personal aspirations such as starting a family. His reflections on fatherhood, coupled with his relationship with Jenner, underscore a modern celebrity approach to family planning—careful, considered, and aligned with personal growth.

As one of Hollywood’s most talented young actors, Chalamet’s openness about the future of fatherhood resonates with fans who admire his career and now see a more intimate glimpse of his personal life.
