Kylie Jenner Calls Timothée Chalamet "Daddy" After He Debuts New Look

Published: May 22 2026

Kylie Jenner is head over heels in love with the appearance of her charming boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet. After witnessing a mesmerizing TikTok video of him striding out of the tunnel at Madison Square Garden to witness the New York Knicks battle against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kylie couldn't help but exclaim in a single word: "daddy."

The video captured Timothée, 30, arriving at the NBA Eastern Conference Finals game on May 19th with a friend. He made a stunning debut with his newly trimmed hairstyle and clean-shaven face, sitting alongside fellow Knicks enthusiasts in the celebrity row, including Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor, Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan, Michael J. Fox, and Tracy Pollan.

Kylie's comment suggests her approval of her partner's latest look. Prior to his haircut, the Call Me By Your Name star sported a shaggier hairstyle and mustache, which he began wearing late in 2024 during the filming of Marty Supreme.

Despite spending numerous date nights together watching the Knicks – with Kendall Jenner even joining in from time to time – Kylie was notably absent from this particular game, where her beloved partner's team defeated the Cavs 115 to 104. Instead, she was in Los Angeles on May 19th, posing for pictures with a radiant red Ferrari and remarking, "It was a cute little day."

While leaving flirty comments about her "daddy" Timothée, Kylie's ex-partner Travis Scott was also busy celebrating his own achievements. Kylie Cosmetics, the brand she co-founded with Travis, won an InStyle Best Beauty Buys Award for their fragrance, Cosmic Intense. The Kardashian star commemorated this moment with a red cake that matched the bottle of her perfume, writing in a post caption on May 20th, "Surprise on set! She's an award winner!!!"
