Timothée Chalamet’s relationship with Kylie Jenner has been stirring up quite the buzz, and now his mom, Nicole Flender, is sharing her thoughts on the matter.
The 29-year-old “Wonka” star and the 27-year-old makeup mogul first sparked romance rumors in the spring of 2023, and their relationship has certainly kept fans talking.
But it seems there’s one person who might not be so thrilled about the pairing—Timothée’s sister, Pauline.
Family Feuds and Alleged Tension
Pauline, who is 33 and works as an actress and producer, has been rumored to have thrown some subtle shade at Kylie in the past.
In fact, she’s posted a few cryptic messages on social media that seemed to target the reality star.
Recently, during an Instagram post, she took aim at the vast wealth disparity in the U.S., touching on some of the country’s biggest social issues, including the lack of humanitarian aid and the wealth gap, which has been a source of tension for many.
Kylie’s significant fortune, estimated to be around $700 million, may have been a point of contention for Pauline.
Nicole Flender’s Supportive Remarks
While Pauline has been vocal about her concerns, Timothée’s mom, Nicole, is taking a different approach.
In a recent interview with Curbed, Nicole spoke warmly about Kylie, calling her “lovely” and sharing how she’s always been kind to her.
Reflecting on her two kids growing up and moving away, Nicole seems genuinely supportive of their relationship.
“She’s very nice to me,” she added, showing no sign of disapproval toward Kylie.
Pauline’s Criticism of Billionaires and Wealth Disparities
Pauline’s critique of wealth and inequality has been more than just a passing comment.
A month ago, she posted on Instagram Stories about a New York Times article addressing cuts to foreign aid, drawing attention to America’s “insane wealth disparity.”
Her post highlighted various issues, such as the country’s high maternal mortality rate and its obsession with consumerism.
She also pointed out how less than 1% of U.S. funds go toward humanitarian aid, a situation she finds troubling given the nation’s immense wealth.
Her criticisms didn’t stop there. Pauline also re-shared a tweet from Bernie Sanders that condemned the influence of billionaires on politics.
She expanded on it, stating that the existence of billionaires and the lack of proper taxation is a serious flaw in the system.
She argued that figures like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg shouldn’t be able to accumulate such wealth without facing the proper taxation.
The Private Jet Debate
Adding fuel to the fire, Pauline also reposted a message from nonprofit group Move On, which criticized the wealthy for writing off their private jets and yachts as business expenses.
Kylie Jenner, who owns her own private jet, Kylie Air, has been a target of this debate.
Although it’s unclear whether she writes off her jet as a business expense, she has faced significant backlash for her carbon footprint.
Despite this, Pauline was seen chatting with both Timothée and Kylie at the Oscars in March, leading some to wonder if the family tensions are truly as severe as they seem.
What’s Next?
With all the back-and-forth, it remains to be seen how this situation will evolve.
Will the Chalamet family continue to support Timothée and Kylie’s romance, or will more drama unfold behind the scenes? Only time will tell.
