Last night's 32nd annual Actor Awards at the iconic Shrine Expo Hall had its fair share of glitz and glam, but it was Timothée Chalamet who stole the show with a heartwarming twist. While fans were buzzing about the possibility of him arriving with Kylie Jenner, his rumored love interest, Chalamet showed up arm-in-arm with his mom, Nicole Flender, creating a sweet spectacle.
Amid the Hollywood glitter, it was this family affair that caught everyone off guard. The actor and his mom walked the carpet confidently, sparking conversations about Chalamet's unconventional choice, especially with Jenner's name appearing on the facesheet.
“Taking my mom to these events is always a joy – she's my biggest cheerleader,” Chalamet reportedly shared with enthusiasm.
Despite the speculation, the Chalamet-Jenner romance seems to be sailing smoothly. Just two days prior, the couple was spotted enjoying sunny Beverly Hills, where Timothée was there to support Kylie at one of her brand's photoshoots. This sighting reassured fans and added a layer of intrigue as to why Kylie missed the awards.
It's not the first time Chalamet has chosen family over the spotlight, and sources suggest it was a mutual decision between the makeup mogul and the 'Wonka' star. After all, his mom clearly enjoys these moments, and it shows on her Instagram, where she flaunted her bright pink dress and platform sandals.
Timothée and Nicole were dressed to impress. The actor wore an off-white blazer with a light shirt and loose black trousers, while his mom turned heads in her vibrant ensemble, complete with fun cut-outs near the hem. One of the night’s most touching moments was when Chalamet gifted his mom a rose, charming everyone on the red carpet.
Kylie's mother, Kris Jenner, remains a supportive figure, often engaging with Flender's posts with cheery comments and emojis. Their camaraderie highlights the warm bond developing between the families, despite any awards night surprises.
Though Chalamet didn’t take home the trophy this time, losing to Michael B. Jordan, Nicole’s presence was a win in its own right. With the Oscars looming on March 15, fans are eager to see if Kylie will join him for another Hollywood showdown.
