Why Jenner-Chalamet romance still sparks backlash

When Timothée Chalamet took to the stage at the Critics Choice Awards recently to accept his Best Actor trophy in front of a room full of Hollywood peers, the 30-year-old seemed to only have (slightly tearful) eyes for one person.

"I'll just say thank you to my partner of three years," he declared, gazing out at his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. "Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn't do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." An earnest actor delivering a gushy shout-out to their significant other as part of an ever-so-slightly grandiose victory speech? It’s hardly a rare occurrence, especially during awards season. But for Chalamet, this particular public declaration of affection marked the first time that the Marty Supreme star and Oscar hopeful has talked publicly about his relationship with one of the most famous (and most followed) women in the world.
