It was three months later, in April 2023, that multiple outlets reported that they had begun dating, and Timothée and Kylie went on to have their first public, PDA-filled outing at the US Open that September.
While the couple has kept their relationship mostly out of the spotlight throughout their romance, they have put their love on display on a few occasions.
Indeed, they finally made their red carpet debut in May at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome, and Kylie later joined Timothée at the world premiere of Marty Supreme in October.
But while Timothée was ready to thank Kylie at the Critics Choice Awards, he is adamant about not discussing their romance in interviews, even telling Vogue in November he would not speak about it.
"I don’t say that with any fear,” he told the outlet. “I just don’t have anything to say."
Of course, Timothée wasn’t the only celeb to make his mark during the 2026 Critics Choice Awards. Read on to see who else took home gold during the event.
