Heart-eyes moment: Timothée Chalamet can’t help himself, publicly swoons over Kylie

Timothée Chalamet stole the show at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, not just for his acting, but for the heartfelt way he celebrated his romance with Kylie Jenner.

The 30-year-old actor took home the Best Actor award for his role in Marty Supreme, but it was his touching shout-out to his longtime girlfriend that had fans swooning. “And lastly,” Chalamet said, looking directly at Jenner in the audience, “thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn’t do this without you.”

Kylie, 28, was clearly moved, mouthing back a tender “I love you, too” as the crowd cheered. The pair even shared a sweet kiss when Chalamet’s win was announced, making the moment all the more magical.

Chalamet’s speech came after he thanked the film’s director, Josh Safdie, his team, and fellow nominees including Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan, Joel Edgerton, Ethan Hawke, and Wagner Moura.

Marty Supreme tells the story of a table tennis player chasing his 1952 world championship dreams. Chalamet described the project as a labor of love, both on and off screen. “It’s about giving everything to a dream,” he said in a recent interview. “Whether it’s interviews, promotions, or appearances, I’m putting my heart into it, just like Marty Mauser.”

This Critics Choice win marks Chalamet’s fourth nomination, following nods for Call Me By Your Name, Beautiful Boy, and A Complete Unknown. But this moment on stage, with Kylie beaming at his side, proved that sometimes love is the biggest award of all.
