LOS ANGELES − Timothée Chalamet has acknowledged his relationship with girlfriend Kylie Jenner like never before, from the awards podium, proclaiming, "I love you."
The "Marty Supreme" star, 30, shocked viewers at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday, Jan. 4, by thanking his "partner" after he won best actor.
"Lastly, I'll just say, thank you to my partner of three years, thank you for our foundation," said Chalamet as the camera panned to Jenner, 28, sitting at the table with the filmmakers and cast. "I love you. I couldn't do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Jenner mouthed back, "I love you, too."
Is that Timothée and Kylie? No, just 'Hacks' stars committed to a bit
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet cozied up at the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards.
Chalamet and Jenner have already become a fixture on the awards circuit. The duo slipped into the Palm Springs International Film Awards a day earlier, avoiding the red carpet.
At the Critics Choice Awards, the couple drew attention at the "Marty Supreme" table, where the camera caught them kissing.
On the Critics Choice red carpet, "Hacks" stars Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs spoofed the eye-popping orange Chrome Hearts outfits that Chalamet and Jenner wore to the "Marty Supreme" premiere in Beverly Hills, California, a month prior.

Timothée Chalamet earns big win at Critics Choice over Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan
The win at the first awards show of the season is a big deal for Chalamet, who was up against a crew that includes Leonardo DiCaprio ("One Battle After Another") and Michael B. Jordan ("Sinners"). In his acceptance speech, Chalamet paid tribute to the other actors nominated.
"You guys are an ultra-talented, hard-working group," he said, adding, "I'm more nervous than I thought I'd be."
In a rare show of humility, Chalamet started off the speech saying, "I've got a lot of people to thank and I don't know if I'll be up here again."
The star constantly looked to the side at the table where director Josh Safdie, his co-stars and Jenner were seated, and he cursed good-naturedly.
"We've got a f----- up table over there, they put us on an extreme angle," said Chalamet. "That's why I keep looking over there."
But he thanked his director for the critically lauded story of a self-centered American ping-pong sensation.
"Josh, you made a story about a flawed man with a relatable dream, and you didn't preach to the audience what was right or wrong," said Chalamet. "Thank you for this dream."
