Caitlyn Jenner has given daughter Kylie’s boyfriend her stamp of approval.
The former Olympian, 76, had nothing but nice words to offer about Timothée Chalamet on the Tuesday, April 7, episode of the “Tomi Lahren Is Fearless” podcast.

Caitlyn Jenner approves of Timothée Chalamet.
“Timothée is a really nice guy. I haven’t spent a lot of time with him because they’re always doing stuff, but I have spent some time with him, and I’m honestly happy for both of them,” she expressed. “Timothée’s a great kid. As a parent, I would love to see it continue. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but she’s in a really good place with Timothée, and it’s been quite a ride for her.”
Caitlyn claimed the reason Kylie, 28, has been successful in her relationship is because she and her man are both high-achieving individuals.
“First of all, I told both Kendall [Jenner] and Kylie. I said, ‘Girls, it’s gonna be tough finding somebody that you can really love and share your life with,’” she explained. “You kind of need somebody on your scale and where you’re at.”

Caitlyn Jenner said daughter Kylie is in a 'good place' with Timothée Chalamet.
Earlier this year, while speaking to paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport, Caitlyn once again praised the young couple.
“[I want my] daughter to be happy, and she is, and I like that,” she said in January.
The media personality called Timothée a “great kid” and “phenomenal actor” who is “very good to Kylie.”
