The 31st annual Critics Choice Awards were held at the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport on the evening of Sunday, Jan. 4, and the event in Southern California brought out A-listers and nominees like Jacob Elordi, Amanda Seyfried, Ariana Grande, Emma Stone and many others.

Among the stars present to honor the very best in film and television was Timothée Chalamet, who took home the Best Actor award for Marty Supreme. The 30-year-old actor attended the ceremony with his girlfriend, reality TV star and entrepreneur Kylie Jenner.

When actress Kate Hudson announced Chalamet as the winner of the award—Leonardo DiCaprio, Joel Edgerton, Ethan Hawke, Michael B. Jordan and Wagner Moura were also nominated in the category—Chalamet gave Jenner a smooch before heading up to the stage to accept his award and deliver a brief speech.

After acknowledging each of his fellow nominees, Chalamet rattled through a list of people to whom he expressed his gratitude, including Marty Supreme director Josh Safdie. He then gave a sweet shout-out to Jenner to wrap up his speech.

“And lastly I’ll just say thank you to my partner of three years, thank you for our foundation, I love you, I couldn’t do this without you, thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Chalamet gushed to Jenner, who softly mouthed back “I love you” from her seat.

The snippet has made the rounds on social media, with plenty of fans chiming in on the sweet moment and hyping up the cute couple.

“aww first time he mentioned her!! proud of him 😭,” one account commented on Entertainment Tonight’s Instagram reel.

“That was cute ❤️,” someone else added.

“They’re the sweetest ❤️❤️,” another fan wrote.

“I didn’t realize they have been together for 3 years,” a fan noted, while someone else concurred, “It's been THREE YEARS?!”

The actor and Jenner, 28, have been linked since early 2023 after they were spotted chatting with one another at Paris Fashion Week that January. The two have been inseparable ever since, spending time with one another courtside at sporting events and, for the most part, keeping their relationship private. Jenner has supported her beau at many industry events, from the Golden Globes and the Oscars to film premieres. As for the latter, their most viral red carpet moment to date involved matching orange ensembles at the Marty Supreme premiere in late December 2025.

The very definition of a power couple—Jenner helms beauty brand Kylie Cosmetics, fashion line Khy and vodka soda brand Sprinter, as just a few examples—we can’t wait to see what is in store for Chalamet and Jenner in the year ahead.
