Timothée Chalamet has made quite an impression at the recent 2026 Actor Awards, where he walked down the red carpet accompanied by his mother, Nicole Flender. The event was marked by a host of high-profile attendees, including the renowned matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kris Jenner, who took to social media to express her excitement about Nicole’s presence at the awards.

Nicole Flender, dressed elegantly in a bright pink ensemble paired with tan heels, shared her anticipation for the awards on Instagram. Her post featured the caption, “Ready for SAGs,” and received a flurry of attention, particularly from Kris Jenner, who commented, “GORGEOUS!! 🩷🩷🩷”, demonstrating her ongoing support for Flender.

Unlike previous award ceremonies this season, where he was often seen with his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, Timothée chose to have his mother by his side for this occasion. Their strong familial bond was evident as they navigated the red carpet together, showcasing a heartwarming dynamic amidst the glitz and glamour of the event.
This show of support from Kris Jenner is not new; she has a history of praising both Timothée and Nicole. Earlier in the month, amidst the celebrations at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, Nicole shared a heartfelt moment when she posted a video of the moment Timothée was announced as Best Actor. The triumph elicited an enthusiastic response from Kris, who commented, “So exciting!!!!!!! 🥳❤️👏🏼🤩” on the post, further solidifying her affection for her son’s achievements and family.
Timothée’s recognition at the Critics Choice Awards for his role in “Marty Supreme” was followed by a particularly touching acceptance speech. He took the opportunity to express his love and gratitude toward Kylie, stating, “And lastly, I’ll just say, thank you to my partner of three years,” acknowledging their relationship in front of a star-studded audience. The moment was made even more special as Kylie responded with an emotional “I love you, too,” conveying a sense of pride and support.
Remarkably, Timothée has not only recognised Kylie in his acceptance speeches but has also shared his gratitude towards his parents. While winning the Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy at the Golden Globes, he reflected on the values instilled in him by his father and extended his thanks to both his parents and Kylie. “It’s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high,” he remarked, encapsulating the values of appreciation and humility that he holds dear.
Kylie Jenner has not just earned Timothée’s affections but also the respect of his family. Nicole Flender previously mentioned in an interview with New York Magazine’s Curbed that she finds Kylie to be “lovely,” highlighting the positive connection between the reality star and her family. This endorsement from Timothée’s mother speaks volumes about the nature of their relationship.
As the couple continues to navigate the demands of fame and public life, their ability to maintain strong family ties alongside their romantic relationship appears to be vital. Each appearance at high-profile events is not just a showcase of their individual success but also a testament to their shared values of love, gratitude, and familial support.
With the entertainment world closely watching, it remains to be seen how Timothée, Kylie, and their families will continue to evolve within the spotlight. For now, moments like these—filled with joy and mutual respect—offer a glimpse into their lives, revealing the heartwarming connections that underlie their glamorous exterior.
