Timothée Chalamet pulled double duty as the host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live — and with the support of his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner.
Ahead of the Saturday, January 25, broadcast, Chalamet, 29, and Jenner, 27, arrived at the New York City venue in an all-electric Jeep Wagoner S vehicle. She was later spotted outside his official afterparty in photos obtained by Deux Moi, wearing an oversized fur coat and sunglasses.
Saturday was Chalamet’s third time hosting the iconic variety series — but his first time appearing as the musical guest.
“I’m Timothée Chalamet and I’ll be the host and musical guest this week on SNL,” he said in his official episode promo. “And Sarah [Sherman], I was thinking about dedicating one of my songs to you. … I was thinking ‘Knocking on Heaven’s Door.’”
Sherman, 31, replied, “Oh, shoot.”
In his opening monologue, Chalamet teased that his musical selections would be some of his “favorite songs” written by Bob Dylan. He ultimately performed “Tomorrow is a Long Time” and a mash-up of “Outlaw Blues” and “Three Angels,” which was introduced by former SNL star Adam Sandler.
Chalamet made his SNL debut in December 2020, returning three years later in November 2023. He also sang during his second SNL gig, teaming up with cast member Marcello Hernandez for a rap in his opening monologue about men with baby faces that make them look more youthful than their actual age.
“Check it! I got a baby face, but my hips don’t lie / Say I’m a bad kid, bitch I’m a bad guy. I got a baby face, but I’m hung like my dad,” he rapped at the time. “Trust me, baby, I’m the best you ever had / I got a face like a young’un but the body of a dude / So hide your wife, hide your grandma too.”
After the 2023 episode, Jenner was spotted attending Chalamet’s official afterparty in the Big Apple.
Jenner was also recently Chalamet’s biggest fan at this year’s Golden Globes. The couple had attended together after Chalamet was nominated for his role as Dylan in A Complete Unknown but ultimately lost to The Brutalist‘s Adrien Brody. Chalamet and the Kardashians star, who was dressed in a slinky backless silver gown, sat at a table with his Complete Unknown costars Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro.
Jenner previously accompanied Chalamet — who was nominated for an Oscar for his A Complete Unknown performance earlier this week — to the 2024 Golden Globes. They have been together since 2023.
“Everything is going great between them. They both have really busy schedules but make as much time for each other as possible,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2024. “Timothée is always making Kylie smile. They have a very special connection.”
Nearly six months later, a second insider told Us that the pair’s romance was still going strong.
“Kylie and Timothée hang out with each other frequently and communicate on a regular basis,” the second source told Us in July 2024. “They’ve gone on a number of dates recently, but they always do their best to try and stay under the radar as much as possible.”
