The gingerbread house was the first clue. Back in December, buried among the piped icing and novelty sweets on the Kardashian‑Jenner clan's annual Christmas centrepiece, one name quietly appeared alongside the usual suspects: 'Timothée.'
In a family where nothing is accidental, that frosted little flourish was effectively a soft‑launch. It said what the show hadn't yet spelled out:Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet weren't just dating, they were being folded into the Kardashian brand machine. Now, if US gossip reports are to be believed, Kris Jenner has moved on to the next logical step in her mind: babies.
Not just any baby, of course. A baby with an Oscar frontrunner for a father.
According to insiders quoted by US tabloidGlobe, Kris, 70, has been 'swooning' over Chalamet since he appeared on the scene with Kylie in early 2023. That might sound faintly ridiculous — the world's most famous momager fangirling over theCall Me by Your Namestar — but it tracks with everything we know about her. She collects A‑listers the way other people collect scented candles.
'Kris wants more grandkids ASAP,' one source is quoted as saying, adding that she 'loves the idea of having an A‑list movie star in the family.' In private, they claim, she has jokingly referred to Chalamet, 30, as the "perfect son‑in‑law" and "ideal baby daddy material" for Kylie.
The infatuation has not been entirely sotto voce. Jenner has publicly liked and commented on posts by Chalamet's mother, praised his awards‑season wins, and made sure his name was iced onto that now‑famous gingerbread house. It's the Kardashian equivalent of a royal warrant.
Behind the scenes, the same insiders insist, she has been urging Kylie to "seal the deal" with a pregnancy — the oldest trick in the family playbook, and one that has, frankly, served their empire very well to date.
Kylie, 28, is already a mother of two with ex‑partner Travis Scott: daughter Stormi, eight, and son Aire, four. She knows perfectly well how motherhood plays on camera, and how a new baby can be both a personal milestone and a content engine. This is, after all, a woman who turned a teenage cosmetics line into a billion‑dollar valuation.
The key question is whether she sees Chalamet as part of that long‑term picture. For now, signs point to yes.
Publicly, Chalamet has edged slightly out of his famously private shell. At the Critics' Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, he referred to Kylie as his 'partner' in acceptance speeches — a small word, but one that suggests a seriousness beyond the usual Hollywood 'hanging out.'
