Kylie Jenner’s Instagram Stories
While The Moment will mark Jenner’s first movie acting gig, she previously had a cameo as herself in 2018’s Ocean’s 8 — and, of course, has appeared onscreen plenty in a reality-show context, in The Kardashians and its predecessor Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
She’s also no stranger to the big-screen business, supporting boyfriend Timothée Chalamet at awards shows and premieres amid his high-profile projects like A Complete Unknown and Marty Supreme, the latter of which is also an A24 film.
“She enjoys attending the events with him,” a source told PEOPLE in January of Jenner and Chalamet, 29. “She knows that his career is so important to him. She wants to be by his side for it all.”
While the future of her own multifaceted career isn’t set in stone yet, Jenner hinted to Dazed earlier this year that her 7-year-old daughter Stormi may venture into a singing career, adding that she’d love to step into the “momager” world.
“She’s a good dancer. She has this voice,” Jenner told the outlet for its summer issue. “I don’t know, I have no idea, but I hope that she’s an artist, and I could go on tour and be her tour manager.”
