Caitlyn Jenner breaks silence on daughter Kylie’s romance with Timothée Chalamet

Timothée Chalamet has earned Caitlyn Jenner’s stamp of approval.

The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” alum, 76, only had nice words to say about the actor when asked for her thoughts on his relationship with her daughter, Kylie, on Wednesday.

“I just want my daughter to be happy and she is. And I like that,” she told Daily Mail while walking through LAX airport.

“He’s a good kid and he’s very good to Kylie,” she closed.

It would seem the “Call Me By Your Name” star is well on his way to becoming a part of the Kardashian/Jenner family — even more so after Kylie’s mother, Kris Jenner, gushed over him in a social media exchange with Chalamet’s mom, Nicole Flender.

“My son just won the Critics Choice Award for best actor!!” she captioned her post, which showed a clip of Chalamet accepting his award. In his acceptance speech, he also gave a sweet nod to his “partner,” Kylie, 28.

Kris responded, “So exciting!!!!!!! 🥳❤️👏🏼🤩.”
