Timothée Chalamet capped a career milestone with a very public display of affection, thanking Kylie Jenner as his “partner” and kissing her moments after winning Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy at the 2026 Golden Globes.
At a Glance
- Chalamet, 30, won the Globe for Marty Supreme and thanked Jenner, 28, onstage
- Jenner skipped the red carpet but joined him inside the Beverly Hilton in a metallic Ashi Studio gown and 75-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamonds
- Cameras caught the couple kissing and mouthing “I’m so happy” after his name was called
- Why it matters: The rare joint appearance spotlights one of Hollywood’s most-watched pairings three years after they were first linked
The actor arrived solo for photographers, wearing an all-black ensemble with a hint of silver, while the Kylie Cosmetics founder entered the ballroom later, mingling with Jennifer Lawrence, Odessa A’zion and other A-listers before settling in beside her boyfriend.
During the telecast on January 11, CBS and MTV UK footage showed the two leaning in for repeated kisses and gazing at each other between awards. After Chalamet’s victory, Access Hollywood aired a clip in which Jenner silently mouthed “I’m so happy” from her seat.
Chalamet’s speech struck a grateful tone. “My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up,” he told the crowd. “Always be grateful for what you have. It’s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here. I’d be lying if I didn’t say those moments didn’t make this moment that much sweeter. For my parents, for my partner, I love you. Thank you so much.”
Inside Their Night
- Dress code: Jenner’s custom curve-hugging metallic gown nodded to the evening’s glam theme; Chalamet kept to sleek monochrome
- Jewelry: The 75-carat diamond pieces by celebrity-favorite designer Lorraine Schwartz added extra sparkle
- Seating: The pair stayed close throughout the show, with Jenner often resting her hand on Chalamet’s shoulder
- Social buzz: Within minutes of the kiss clips airing, the moment trended worldwide
The appearance marks the second straight awards-show outing for the couple after they walked the 2026 Critics Choice Awards days earlier. At that event, Jenner chose a plunging Versace gown while Chalamet opted for a pinstripe Givenchy suit, signaling a preference for complementary rather than coordinated fashion.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, the actor hinted that the matching orange Chrome Hearts looks they debuted at the Marty Supreme premiere on December 8 might be a one-time stunt. “The orange might be retired, but let’s see,” he said.
Timeline of Their Awards Season

|---|---|---|---|
| Dec. 8 | Marty Supreme premiere | Orange Chrome Hearts | Orange Chrome Hearts |
