Kylie Jenner Becomes Timothée Chalamet’s Bedrock as Wonka Faces Acid Test: Even Zendaya Wouldn’t Do What Kylie Did to Support Her New Boyfriend
Kylie Jenner and her mother Kris Jenner stepped out Sunday night to attend the Los Angeles premiere of Timothée Chalamet’s new film, Wonka. Romance rumors first sparked in April 2022 after celebrity social media accounts claimed Chalamet was Jennr’s “new guy.” The couple seemed to confirm things with a steamy kiss at a September Beyoncé concert. According to sources, Kylie refers to the Dune actor as her boyfriend.
How did Kylie Jenner support Timothee Chalamet?
A source confirmed to PEOPLE that the Kylie Cosmetics founder, 26, slipped into the theater with 68-year-old Kris after the opening credits to support Timothée Chalamet, her 27-year-old boyfriend.
The source said Kylie Jenner is “incredibly happy” with Chalamet, who “is very supportive of her career.” Meanwhile, Chalamet is apparently “in awe of everything [Kylie] is accomplishing” as both a businesswoman and mother. Though they have busy careers, the stars make attending important events for each other a priority.
Kylie and Kris Jenner slipped into the Wonka premiere well after it started, indicating they wanted to avoid the press. For a star who craves privacy like Chalamet, having his famous girlfriend make such an effort despite shunning attention shows her commitment.
What is Wonka about?
The film serves as an origin story for the eccentric candy maker from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Chalamet sings and dances as young Willy Wonka in the family-friendly musical fantasy. He told PEOPLE his mom called it her favorite movie of his so far, unlike his bleak 2022 cannibal flick Bones and All.
After braving the Wonka premiere together, has going public made Kylie Chalamet’s “Bedrock” as he faces the acid test of opening a major studio film? By supporting him out of the spotlight, the reality star may be proving no girlfriend – not even Zendaya – can match her devotion.
