Timothée Chalamet stepped out at SAG’s 2026 Actor Awards with a beautiful woman on his arm: his mother, Nicole Flender — and Kris Jenner was one of her biggest supporters.
“Ready for SAGs,” Flender captioned an Instagram photo of herself wearing a pink dress ahead of the Sunday, March 1, awards ceremony. (The SAG Awards were renamed the Actor Awards this year.)
Kris, whose youngest daughter, Kylie Jenner, is dating Chalamet, 30, was quick to comment on Flender’s post. “GORGEOUS!! 🩷🩷🩷,” Kris, 70, replied.
Many fans freaked out over the two women’s interaction, with one writing, “Omg mother in laws,” hinting that Kylie, 28, and Chalamet could be headed toward marriage after dating three years.
Shortly after Flender — who shares Timothée and daughter Pauline Chalamet with husband Marc Chalamet — posted her awards show look on social media, she headed to the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles to walk the red carpet with her son.
Timothée, who was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, posed solo as well as with his mom, who was all smiles standing beside him. (Michael B. Jordan ended up winning the category.)
While Flender donned a bold pink dress for the occasion, the Marty Supreme actor wore a white tuxedo jacket and undershirt with black pants.
Sunday wasn’t the first time that Kris has shown Flender support via Instagram since their children began dating in 2023.
After Timothée won the Critics Choice Award for Best Actor in January, his mom gushed about his achievement via social media.
“My son just won the Critics Choice Award for best actor!!” Flender wrote via Instagram on January 4, sharing footage from the ceremony, which the actor attended with Kylie.
Kris replied in the comments section, “So exciting!!!!!!! 🥳❤️👏🏼🤩.”
During his Critics Choice Awards speech, Timothée gave a special shout-out to Kylie as she sat in the audience.
“Lastly I’ll just say, thank you to my partner of three years. I love you. I couldn’t do this without you,” he said. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Appreciate it.”
As the cameras panned to the Kylie Cosmetics founder, she mouthed back, “I love you.”
Later that month, a source exclusively told Luxury Handbag Shopping that Kylie and Timothée have a “very easy” relationship, one which her family approves of.
“Kylie’s sisters and Kris have really embraced him. He always has a spot at the table for every holiday and is included in all of their plans,” the insider said on January 21. “They all really like him for her and think he has brought out a softer side to Kylie.”
Kylie’s children — she shares daughter Stormi, 8, and son Aire, 4, with ex Travis Scott — have also grown accustomed to having the Dune star in their lives.
“The kids love him, and Timothée has been integrated seamlessly into their lives,” the source added. “It took a while for Kylie to introduce them, but now things are very normal, and he spends a lot of time with them.”
As their relationship has progressed, a second insider told Us that wedding bells are on the couple’s minds.
“They are very serious and have talked about getting engaged this year,” the insider shared in January, adding that Kylie jokes the Oscar nominee is “already her husband.”
The source told Us, “Kylie definitely runs the show, and Timothée loves it,” calling their dynamic “a great balance between both of their personalities, and it works.”
