Kylie Jenner Snuck Into the Premiere of 'Wonka'

She's letting Timothée Chalamet have the spotlight.

In a world of pure imagination, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet would have made their red carpet couple debut at the premiere of Wonka, but according to People and the Daily Mail, Jenner kept her support on the down low. Instead of walking the carpet at the film's Los Angeles premiere over the weekend, Jenner and her mother, Kris, snuck in through the back door of the theater after the opening credits to enjoy the latest film to grace Timothée's IMDb résumé. In photos published by the Daily Mail, Jenner can be seen in a long sheer gown surrounded by security guards.

Just last week, a source told People that Kylie is "incredibly happy" with Chalamet and has started calling him “her boyfriend.”

The insider also noted that Chalamet is “in awe of everything" that Jenner "is accomplishing” and “especially thinks she is an amazing mom.”

“He is very supportive of her career and she of his,” the source finished. “They both try to attend important events for each other. He is very good for Kylie. Since dating him, she seems very content, relaxed and focused. Her family loves him.”

Those important events include Chalamet's Saturday Night Live after-party and a Beyoncé concert.

Chalamet's depiction of Willy Wonka (the movie hits theaters this Friday, Dec. 15) comes after actors Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp have taken on the mantle of the beloved Roald Dahl candymaker. The film also stars rom-com fave Hugh Grant as Lofty the Oompa-Loompa and comedian Keegan-Michael Key.

In recent interviews, Chalamet explained that Wonka is his mother Nicole Flender's "favorite movie" he's done.

"I think she saw Bones and All and said, 'You gotta be happier in your movies!'" he said. "But this is the tradition. I come from a musical-theater family, and this is more in line of the kind of movie I would've thought I'd be doing 10 years ago, if I was lucky enough to work at all. This was so fun to work on. This was unlike anything I've ever worked on, I think."
