Though fans were both surprised and skeptical when news broke that Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner were dating in 2023, this unlikely couple has received the support of their families and friends.
Sure, a relationship between an indie film royalty and a reality TV star, not to mention a beauty mogul, is a pairing nobody sees coming, but their bond has surprisingly earned widespread approval.
So, from Chalamet’s mom to Jenner’s family, here are the people who have given their stamp of approval to the romance.
Nicole Flender
Chalamet’s mom, Nicole Flender, has finally broken her silence on her son’s relationship with Jenner in a rare interview with Curbed.
“I have to say she’s lovely,” she said. “She’s very nice to me.”
To cite an example of Jenner’s kindness toward Flender, she gave up her seat at the 2025 Oscars—where the Dune star was nominated for Best Actor for his role in A Complete Unknown—so her boyfriend could share that special moment with his mother.
According to a source, Chalamet did not ask Jenner to switch seats with his mom, but saw it as a “sweet and thoughtful” gesture.
Unfortunately, he lost to fellow nominee Adrien Brody for his role in The Brutalist.
The Kardashian-Jenner Family
Early on in their relationship, Jenner had reportedly introduced Chalamet to her family, particularly to mom Kris Jenner and sister Kendall Jenner. And fortunately, they all approved.
“They really like him and think he’s different from anybody Kylie has dated in the past,” a different source said. “He has a great sense of humor, and he makes her smile which is the most important thing to them. They love seeing how happy she is and absolutely approve of them dating.”
Why they would not like him? The source continued that the 29-year-old actor is a “total gentleman and treats Jenner with respect.”
“Her family loves that she’s dating him. They have seen such positive changes in Kylie. She’s the happiest,” another insider revealed.
In addition to being charming, funny, and easy to talk to, he is also said to be different from others she has dated before.
“Although he may not seem like her type, they have really good chemistry,” the tipster added.
Loves Stormi and Aire
Jenner has two kids, Stormi (7) and Aire (3), with her ex-Travis Scott. And by the looks of it, Chalamet is making some efforts to be close to the children.
“When they are in LA together, he spends time with her kids too,” a source said.
The pair has reportedly figured out how to balance their work and quality time together. This even includes Chalamet being involved with Stormi and Aire.
And though they are often together, he knows that the kids will always be Jenner’s priority.
Timothée Chalamet’s Family
The Kardashian-Jenner clan is not the only one who is supportive of Chalamet and Jenner’s romance—even the actor’s family also loves to see “how happy she makes him.”
“They’re definitely beyond the ‘just having fun’ point of the relationship,” the source added. “Everyone on both sides sees definite potential for something real here.”
Jenner has also developed a strong bond with Chalamet’s sister, Paulina Chalamet, who attended the Coperni show that the Khy founder walked in.
The two were spotted talking and exchanging a hug after the show in Disneyland Paris.
Jennifer Lawrence
Jenner and Chalamet’s romance has also received the Hollywood stamp of approval, with Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence weighing in on their relationship.
During her appearance on Andy Cohen’s talk show Watch What Happens Live, the actress was asked what she thought of their then still rumored relationship.
“I don’t like that he didn’t get my permission, but I support it,” she said.
From their moms to their siblings to their friends, Jenner and Chalamet’s relationship has received a resounding yes from everyone around them. As one outlet reported, they are a “great couple” and “everyone loves them together.”
