The Critics' Choice Awards witnessed a deeply personal moment as Timothée Chalamet, celebrating his Best Actor win for "Marty Supreme," publicly acknowledged the woman who anchors his life: Kylie Jenner. His heartfelt gratitude wasn't just a formality; it was a genuine expression of love delivered from the stage.
“Thank you to my partner of three years,” Chalamet began, his voice resonating with sincerity. “Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn’t do this without you.” As the words hung in the air, the camera found Kylie, her eyes locked on Chalamet, silently mouthing “I love you” with a tender clasp of her hands.
The exchange wasn’t merely a sweet gesture for the cameras. Body language expert Adrianne Carter observed a profound emotional connection. Kylie’s clasped hands, Carter noted, often indicate a way of internally managing and expressing deep emotion, a subtle self-soothing mechanism.
Carter also pointed to Chalamet’s authenticity. When he spoke his declaration of love, he subtly moved the award in sync with his words – a nonverbal cue signifying genuine emotion and sincerity. It was a moment of unscripted vulnerability from an actor often guarded about his personal life.
Beyond the speech, subtle cues in their public appearances revealed a dynamic of mutual support. A red carpet photograph showcased Chalamet’s confident smile and relaxed posture, while Kylie positioned herself slightly behind him, her hand firmly holding his, subtly signaling her role as his unwavering support.
Their relationship, which began three years ago, blossomed from initial rumors in early 2023 to a confirmed connection at Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour. Despite the intense public scrutiny, they’ve largely maintained a private life, choosing to share only carefully selected moments.
Chalamet, known for his reluctance to discuss his personal life, previously stated he “will not talk about” the romance, emphasizing a desire to protect its intimacy. Yet, this single, spontaneous declaration at the Critics’ Choice Awards spoke volumes, offering a rare and beautiful glimpse into a connection built on genuine affection and mutual respect.
The moment wasn’t just about celebrating an award; it was a testament to the power of a supportive partnership, a quiet affirmation of love shared on a very public stage.
