The 2026 awards season began with a romantic moment. This Sunday, during the 31st Critics Choice Awards, held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Timothee Chalamet dedicated some heartfelt words to his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, in his acceptance speech for Best Actor. Chalamet, 30, took to the stage after being awarded Best Actor for his performance in Marty Supreme. Visibly moving and breaking with the discretion that usually characterizes their relationship, the actor dedicated the final part of his speech to the businesswoman, who watched him proudly from her table. "And finally, I want to thank my partner of the last three years. Thank you for everything we have built together. I love you. I couldn't have done this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart," the actor said. The camera quickly captured the reaction of the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Kylie, 28, followed her boyfriend's words with a smile and sparkling eyes, responding with a subtle but clear, "I love you" from her seat. This public gesture comes after months of speculation about a rift between Kylie and Timothee, and marks a milestone events in their relationship, which began in 2023. Although the couple has attended other major events, this is the first time the Dune actor has mentioned her so directly and affectionately in an award acceptance speech. With this recognition, Chalamet not only positions himself as the frontrunner for this awards season, but also makes it clear that, behind his professional success, Kylie Jenner is his fundamental pillar.
