On Wednesday, March 11, Vanity Fair revealed Kylie Jenner as the cover star for its spring issue.

The cover shot and subsequent photo spread saw the reality TV star and beauty brand mogul trade in her signature style for a more dramatic look, complete with bleached eyebrows. Still, she didn’t only join the outlet for a fashion-forward photo shoot, sitting down for an in-depth interview, where she opened up a little about her relationship with actor Timothée Chalamet.

According to Cosmopolitan, Jenner and Chalamet have been romantically linked since early 2023, making their relationship public after attending Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour together later that same year. While the couple has remained mostly private, Jenner has regularly accompanied Chalamet on red carpets during award season, and Chalamet also thanked Jenner in his Critics’ Choice Awards speech.

During her interview with Vanity Fair, Jenner revealed that she hosts “poker nights” for Chalamet and his famous friends at her home. The outlet also shared a couple of videos on its various social media feeds featuring the Kylie Cosmetics founder seated at a poker table, explaining the rules of Texas Hold’em and sharing a few of her favorite tips.

When it came to what she thought made for the best poker night “vibe,” she told the outlet, “Lots of tequila, good music—or whatever game is on—and snacks.” Going on to say that she likes players who “juice the pot” (i.e., “bet a lot of money”) and people who are “as passionate about the game” as she is.

Aside from the couple’s poker night hosting duties, Jenner was also questioned about Chalamet’s aforementioned Critics’ Choice Awards speech, with Vanity Fair asking if it was “fun to be shouted out on stage.” The outlet noted that Jenner became “flustered” following the inquiry, adding that she simply answered, “Of course.”

This week is certainly an exciting one for the couple, with Jenner’s cover story and Chalamet’s impending Oscar weekend. The 96th Academy Awards air live this Sunday, March 15, where Chalamet is nominated for Best Actor for his role in Marty Supreme.

The feat marks his third nomination in the category, making him the youngest actor to achieve that honor since Marlon Brando, according to PEOPLE. Will the two up the ante—to use poker lingo—and walk the red carpet together again? Only time will tell!
