Kris Jenner rolled out the red carpet for Timothée Chalamet over the holidays — and a source tells the National Enquirer it’s because she’s eager to make the actor her in-law.
Aside from including the name of Kylie Jenner’s beau on the annual Kardashian family gingerbread house, she promoted his new flick, Marty Supreme, not once, but twice on Instagram, calling it the “greatest movie ever!”
“Kris loves the idea of her daughter marrying a bonafide movie star — mostly because of what it will mean for her own status,” spills the source. “She loves any kind of star power and wants to be associated with it.”

After receiving two previous Oscar nominations, for Call Me by Your Name and A Complete Unknown, the 30-year-old has been tapped as a frontrunner to take home the prize this year thanks to his performance in Marty Supreme.
“Kris has always lived vicariously through her daughters, she sees them as an extension of herself, and she’s saying if Kylie plays her cards right, she can win for both of them,” adds the source. “She’s pushing hard for Kylie to lock Timothée down.”
First linked in early 2023, the couple quieted recent rumors of a split when they stepped out together — in matching outfits, no less — at the December 8 premiere of Marty Supreme.

Still, not everyone is convinced Chalamet and the Kylie Cosmetics founder, 28, are meant to be, says the source.
Older siblings Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian “think Kris is pushing for something that will never actually happen,” dishes the source. “They’re convinced Timothée isn’t the marrying kind and they’re worried he’s going to eventually leave Kylie heartbroken.”
The matriarch, 70, remains undeterred, shares the source: “She’s insisting Kourtney and Kim are just jealous because their little sister has landed the big kahuna!”
