In one of their rare public outings, Kylie and Timothee showed just how obsessed with each other they are at the awards show, wearing coordinating outfits.
They went viral for their Marty Supreme red carpet moment, wearing matching orange outfits. This time, the couple opted for a more subtle pinstripe and black moment.
It wasn’t just their appearance, though, that had fans talking, but instead the intimate words the Little Woman actor shared about his girlfriend.
Timothee said: “Thank you to my partner of three years, thank you for our foundation, I love you.
He continued: “ I couldn’t do this without you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
The New Yorker is known for keeping his love life private, with fans criticising a Vogue interview he did earlier in the year, where he seemingly dismissed his relationship, causing breakup rumours.
But now, Timothee has put the rumours to bed, publicly sharing his love for the reality star.
