Timothée Chalamet celebrated his Golden Globes win with an Instagram post, featuring his shiny trophy in several pictures.
“THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!! SO TREMENDOUSLY GRATEFUL!!!!!!” he wrote in the caption.
The very first photo in the Instagram carousel featured a mystery hand holding up his golden gong.

The manicured hand belonged to none other than his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, who held the trophy in front of his face.
Although this was the first time Kylie (or a part of her) was featured in his Instagram post, fans found it strange that he was acknowledging her in the most minimal way possible.
“Soft launching your ‘partner of 3 years’ with a hand on ig is a little weird,” one commented online, while another said, “He’s still allergic to saying her name in public.”
“It’s obvious she likes him more than he likes her,” one commented online

“Ik she’s jumping for joy and texting ALL her friends to tell them HER HAND got posted omggggggg hhowwww ecxciiitttiiinggg,” one sarcastically said.
“The hand is ridiculous. I am not sure why he avoids mentioning and showing her so much if they were in an actual relationship,” wrote another. “He never seemed to do that with his prior real girlfriends.”
“Kylie Jenner posing with Timothee Chalamet’s 1st Golden Globe but he still will not allow her to post a photo of him on instagram what a pathetic relationship,” read antoher comment.

The couple’s celebratory posts came after Timothée avoided mentioning Kylie’s name in his acceptance speech at the Golden Globes.
“To my parents and partner, I love you. Thank you so much,” he said after receiving his very first Golden Globe.
Fans questioned the absence of Kylie’s name in his speech, saying: “I just wanna know why he refuses to call her anything other than partner. It sounds so official and distant lol.”
“When he looks back at this in 10 years when he’s not with her, she wasn’t even a part of the speech, that’s pretty smart.” another said.
While Timothée didn’t say much about his “partner” on the Golden Globes stage, he did declare his love for her using more words at the Critics Choice Awards this month.
After nabbing the Critics Choice Award for Best Actor for Marty Supreme on January 4, he concluded his acceptance speech with a message to Kylie.
“Lastly, I’ll just say thank you to my partner of three years, thank you for our foundation. I love you,” he said. “I couldn’t do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
From the audience, the beauty mogul was seen mouthing “I love you” back to him.

The couple appeared to meet at Paris Fashion Week in January, 2023, and were first linked romantically in April the same year.
Sources claimed Timothée has given the Kylie Cosmetics founder a “stable relationship” after her on-and-off romance with rapper Travis Scott.
“After living and growing up really fast, being with someone like Timmy is a wholesome, welcoming stable relationship,” an insider from the music industry who is familiar with the couple told Page Six.

The source said Timothée managed to win the mother-of-two over with his easygoing personality.
“Timmy is a very cool, young kid who is dialed in. Even dating Kylie, he still retains that down-to-earth persona and hasn’t forgotten where he’s come from,” the insider said. “Timmy’s the girl next door, but in reverse.”
Despite claims of a “stable relationship,” a lip reader claimed the couple had fought just before the Golden Globes ceremony began.
Just as they were taking their seats, Timothée leaned towards his girlfriend and said, “You must hate me,” lip reader Nicola Hickling claimed to the Daily Mail.

Kylie kept her smile but allegedly replied, “Yes.”
According to the lip reader, the actor then whispered into her ear, “Were you worried?”
Nicola believes Kylie then said, “It was a bold yes.”
“You look bothered,” he allegedly asked, after which the reality TV star said they could continue the discussion later, according to Nicola.
“Not here. You’re annoying,” the lip reader quoted her saying.
“He seems embarrassed to be seen with her,” one commented online
