Kylie Jenner isn’t exactly a stranger to Timothée Chalamet’s mom. In fact, Nicole Flender recently opened up with a rare glimpse into her son’s relationship with the beauty mogul, whom he’s been dating since April 2023. “I have to say she’s lovely,” Nicole shared in an interview with Curbed published on April 21. “She’s very nice to me.” When asked if Timothée consulted her before purchasing an $11 million house in Beverly Hills, conveniently located on the same coast as Kylie, Nicole laughed and said, “Did he ask for my advice? No. He said, ‘Guess what? I bought a house.’” As a mom of two, Nicole—whose daughter Pauline Chalamet currently lives in France with her own little one—explained that she values the independence her children have shown. She quipped, “Would you like your mom to be trailing you everywhere? I like being able to go visit them.”

Nicole’s candid comments offered a rare window into Kylie and Timothée’s relationship, one that the couple themselves have mostly chosen to keep private. While they generally avoid discussing their romance in interviews, their actions have spoken louder than words. The reality TV star and the Call Me By Your Name actor haven’t shied away from affectionate moments during their many public outings. From PDA-filled appearances at Coachella to cozy dates at California’s Indian Wells tennis tournament, Kylie and Timothée have made it clear they’re not afraid to show their love to the world this year.

Kylie, who shares two children—Stormi Webster, 7, and Aire Webster, 3—with her ex Travis Scott, has been a steady presence in Timothée’s life, especially during the bustling awards season. As Timothée, 29, collected accolades and nominations for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, Kylie was there to support him. Although she often let Timothée have his solo moments on the red carpet, she could always be found nearby, cheering him on from events like the Oscars, the BAFTAs, the Golden Globes, and even during his recent stint as a Saturday Night Live host.

Despite their growing public visibility, both Kylie and Timothée have stressed their desire to keep parts of their personal lives private. In a conversation with British Vogue last August, Kylie said, “Privacy is so important to me in life,” a sentiment that clearly echoes in how she navigates her relationship with Timothée.

Their love story began sparking headlines back in April 2023. Fresh from her breakup with Travis Scott, Kylie was first rumored to be romantically linked to Timothée. Fans were quick to speculate, wondering whether the cosmetics mogul and the Dune actor were really a couple. As the months rolled on, their bond only seemed to strengthen. By August 2023, E! News confirmed the two were still very much an item, even as rumors swirled that they might have parted ways.

September 2023 marked a turning point when Kylie and Timothée made a series of public appearances together. After being spotted sharing a PDA-filled moment at Beyoncé’s birthday concert in Los Angeles, they attended a star-studded New York Fashion Week dinner together. Their relationship continued to blossom, and the couple didn’t shy away from enjoying each other’s company at high-profile events. They even made a splash at the 2023 US Open, where they were seen sharing a courtside kiss, making it clear their romance was thriving.

In October 2023, during an interview with GQ, Timothée touched on the challenges of maintaining privacy while dating someone as famous as Kylie. Laughing, he referenced a South Park episode that parodied celebrities seeking privacy, saying, “Sometimes, people are going to be hella confused when you say you’re trying to live a private life.”

Despite the media attention, Kylie and Timothée continued to move forward together, making appearances that subtly reaffirmed their bond. In November 2023, they were all smiles during a date night at the WSJ. Magazine Innovator Awards. Later that month, after Timothée hosted SNL, the two were spotted arriving separately but ultimately reconnecting at the after-party, a quiet testament to their strong connection amid the chaos of celebrity life.

January 2024 brought another sweet moment in their relationship timeline. At the Golden Globes, Kylie and Timothée turned heads, with their affectionate moments captured on the unofficial “kiss cam” of the night. Their happiness was evident, and there wasn’t a rumor in sight that could cloud their joyful energy. The event was a clear sign that their relationship wasn’t just a fleeting moment but something deeper.

Fast forward to January 2025, and Kylie once again accompanied Timothée to the Golden Globes, making it two years in a row. This time, Timothée was nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture—Drama for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. Kylie’s continued presence by his side through another milestone moment showed the enduring strength of their relationship.

Throughout all the award shows, music festivals, tennis matches, and late-night parties, Kylie and Timothée have shown that while they are willing to share glimpses of their love, they remain fiercely protective of their personal space. It’s a balancing act that few in the spotlight manage well, but these two seem to have found their rhythm, cherishing both their fame and their moments away from the cameras.

Their romance, marked by public affection and private respect, continues to capture attention, but at its heart, it’s about two people finding joy and connection amid the whirlwind of fame. For fans following along, it’s a love story that’s just getting started.
