In a rare public comment that’s sparked a fresh wave of interest in Hollywood’s hottest young couple, Nicole Flender, mother of actor Timothée Chalamet, has opened up about her relationship with his high-profile girlfriend, Kylie Jenner — and what she revealed has fans buzzing.
Speaking during a candid conversation at a recent charity event in New York City, Flender, a former Broadway dancer and proud mom, gave a surprisingly heartfelt take on Kylie, offering a glimpse into what many assumed was a complicated or distant dynamic.
“She’s very sweet — more grounded than people give her credit for,” Flender shared. “What matters to me is that my son is happy, and when I see them together, I see that he is.”
While she stopped short of going into too much detail, her tone was warm and approving — shutting down months of speculation that she disapproved of the whirlwind romance between the Dune star and the beauty mogul.
“We’ve had some lovely conversations,” Flender added. “She’s thoughtful, funny, and honestly, just easy to be around.”
The comment comes amid ongoing public fascination with Timothée and Kylie’s relationship, which first made headlines in mid-2023. Since then, they’ve been spotted at red carpet events, caught in cozy paparazzi moments, and the subject of endless social media theories — with fans questioning whether the relationship is real, staged, or destined for heartbreak.
But with this new insight from Timothée’s mom, it seems that behind the glitz and glamour, there’s something more authentic taking shape.
Reactions online have been swift — and mixed. Some fans praised the wholesome update, while others continue to speculate about the couple’s future.
“Kylie winning over Timothée’s mom?? She’s really in her soft era,” one user posted on X.
“Okay, but now I kinda ship them even more,” another wrote.
As for Chalamet and Jenner themselves, the two have remained mostly tight-lipped about their relationship in the media — preferring low-key outings and subtle gestures over flashy declarations. But with Mom’s seal of approval now public, the couple’s romance just got a fresh wave of credibility.
