Kylie Jenner calls Timothée Chalamet ‘Daddy’ in private, friends say
The Khy founder is reportedly 'completely obsessed' with the Oscar-nominated actor
Kylie Jenner reportedly has a playful private nickname for her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet as their relationship continues to grow more serious, according to sources.
Friends of the couple claim that Jenner uses the nickname “Daddy” in private, describing it as part of a flirtatious and affectionate dynamic between the pair.
Hollywood commentator Rob Shuter shared the claim via his Substack, citing insider accounts that suggest the couple behaves very differently behind closed doors compared to their public appearances.
“What people see publicly is very controlled,” one source reportedly said. “Privately, they’re extremely flirtatious and very into each other. Kylie acts completely different around him.”
The insider added that Jenner is “completely obsessed” with Chalamet, noting that the nickname is an ongoing and playful element of their relationship.
“She calls him ‘Daddy’ all the time when they’re together. It’s playful, affectionate, and definitely not new inside their relationship,” the source claimed.
According to friends, Jenner is drawn to Chalamet’s personality, particularly his confidence and creative outlook, which they say marks a shift from some of her previous high-profile relationships.
“Timothée makes her feel relaxed and adored,” another insider said, adding that their chemistry feels natural and grounding.
The couple has been increasingly visible in recent weeks, including a joint appearance at a Knicks vs. Cavaliers game on May 25 in Cleveland, Ohio.
They were also reportedly seen celebrating Mother’s Day together with Chalamet’s family at Khloé Kardashian’s home, further fueling speculation that their relationship is becoming more serious.
Neither Jenner nor Chalamet has publicly commented on the reported nickname or the details shared by insiders.
