Timothée Chalamet Marks Career Milestone with Rare Public Outing
Timothée Chalamet commemorated one of the most significant moments in his professional life with an intimate yet unusually visible evening alongside his partner, Kylie Jenner, last Thursday. The Oscar-nominated actor, aged 30, was observed sharing a cosy dinner with the 28-year-old beauty entrepreneur at the celebrity-adored Flora Farms restaurant during a romantic retreat to Mexico.
Celebrating Oscar Recognition in Secluded Style
On the very evening he discovered his third Academy Award nomination, the famously discreet couple marked this thrilling development with a dinner lasting over an hour. According to reports from TMZ, the stars seemed completely at ease and profoundly connected as they conversed, shared laughter, and cherished some valuable quality time together.
At one stage, Chalamet was photographed capturing images of Jenner using a digital camera, subsequently reviewing the pictures on his screen, while Jenner browsed her mobile device beside him. An onlooker informed the publication that the actor appeared utterly smitten throughout their entire date night.
A Low-Key Venue Amidst High-Profile Clientele
Despite the restaurant being filled with other customers, the majority of patrons were older individuals who failed to recognise the A-list celebrities. Although no overt public displays of affection were witnessed, the source indicated the pair were totally into each other for the whole duration of the evening.
Flora Farms holds a special place in the hearts of numerous celebrities, including Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo, who celebrated their wedding there in 2014, alongside Busy Philipps.
Romantic Getaway Precedes Historic Oscar Achievement
The dinner occurred merely days after exclusive revelations from The Daily Mail that Chalamet and Jenner had embarked on a romantic escape together, just one day prior to the actor making Oscars history. In photographs acquired by the publication, the affectionate couple were seen arriving hand-in-hand at a private airport terminal in Los Angeles before boarding a private jet.
This getaway took place only hours before Chalamet secured his latest Oscar nomination for his performance in Marty Supreme, establishing him as the youngest actor to receive three nominations in this category since Marlon Brando during the 1950s. The film has surfaced as one of this year's foremost Academy Awards contenders, securing nine nominations encompassing Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Film Editing.
Awards Season Journey and Public Affection
The actor previously received nominations in 2018 for Call Me By Your Name and again in 2025 for his depiction of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. He was unsuccessful last year, losing out to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist. Chalamet has been open regarding the emotional peaks and troughs of awards season, telling Vogue in November 2025 that defeats can indeed be painful.
While Jenner has not yet made any public statements concerning his Oscar nomination, she has steadfastly supported him throughout the awards season, accompanying him to both the Critics' Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, where Chalamet triumphed for his leading role in Marty Supreme.
Earlier this month, he publicly referred to Jenner as his partner during his Golden Globes acceptance speech, informing the audience, To my parents and partner, I love you. Thank you so much, as Jenner watched from the crowd. He reinforced this sentiment days later at the Critics Choice Awards, expressing gratitude to my partner of three years and telling her, I love you. I couldn't do this without you, as Jenner silently responded, I love you too.
Navigating Love in the Public Eye
This recent wave of public affection signifies a notable transformation for the couple, who have predominantly maintained their relationship, which commenced quietly in 2023, away from the limelight. During a December episode of The Kardashians, Jenner contemplated managing romance under intense public examination.
I have to live my life, she remarked. I can't live for whatever everyone else wants me to do.
