Kylie Jenner did not attend the 2025 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards alongside her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, due to a deeply personal and tragic loss. The makeup mogul was absent from the event following the sudden and heartbreaking death of her close friend and longtime hairstylist, Jesus Guerrero. Guerrero, a beloved figure in the beauty and entertainment industry, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 34. His sister, Gris Guerrero, confirmed the devastating news on a GoFundMe page, writing, “It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven.” She described him as “a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more,” emphasizing that his passing was sudden and unexpected. The cause of death has not yet been disclosed, but Guerrero’s family shared on Instagram that they have been grieving deeply, often finding themselves in tears and reflecting on what they could have done differently to prevent the loss of their loved one.
Jenner, who has worked closely with Guerrero for many years, has not yet publicly commented on his death. However, their bond was well-documented on her social media platforms, where she frequently shared photos of his work and praised his talent. Their professional relationship was not just about aesthetics; it was rooted in trust and mutual respect. Guerrero’s sudden passing has left many in the industry shattered, as he was a kind and talented individual who touched the lives of everyone he worked with. Meanwhile, the 2025 SAG Awards proceeded without Jenner, who had been a consistent supporter of Chalamet throughout this awards season. Chalamet, who walked the red carpet solo, was seen wearing a sleek black leather blazer with a neon green accent, a stylish nod to the evening’s celebrations.
The awards ceremony, held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, was a night of triumph for Chalamet. He took home the prestigious Best Actor award for his remarkable portrayal of Bob Dylan in the 2024 biopic A Complete Unknown. Chalamet appeared visibly stunned as he accepted the honor, expressing his deep gratitude and aspirations to the audience. He shared that he draws inspiration from legendary figures like Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando, and Viola Davis, as well as athletes like Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps. “I want to be up there,” he said, referring to the pantheon of greats. “This does not signify that, but it’s a little more fuel, it’s a little more ammo to keep going. Thank you so much,” he added. The win was historic, as Chalamet became the youngest actor to receive the Best Actor SAG Award.
Chalamet’s mother, Nicole Flender, was by his side throughout the evening, and the two were seated together during the ceremony. In a lighthearted post-show interview with Extra, Chalamet revealed a humorous moment between him and his mother. After his victory, she reminded him to fold his laundry, a touching reminder of her down-to-earth approach to his success. “I was like, ‘Really? This moment? Really, this moment? I just won this award and I’m 29 years old, and you’re chastising me still?’” he joked. Despite the playful teasing, Chalamet acknowledged his mother’s unwavering support, even suggesting that she might have played a role in his win by encouraging her network to vote for him.
Chalamet’s success at the SAG Awards comes amid a busy and romantic awards season. Earlier this year, Jenner made headlines when she accompanied him to the Golden Globes, where the couple turned heads on the red carpet. They also shared a romantic moment at the 2025 BAFTA Awards, where they were spotted engaging in public displays of affection. While Jenner’s absence at the SAG Awards was understandable given the circumstances, fans are now speculating whether she will join him at the upcoming 2025 Oscars. Chalamet is nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of Bob Dylan, competing against Adrien Brody (The Brutalist), Ralph Fiennes (Conclave), Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), and Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice). The Oscars will take place next weekend, and all eyes will be on Chalamet to see if he continues his winning streak.
In the midst of these professional milestones, Chalamet’s personal life remains a subject of interest. His relationship with Jenner has been a focal point of media attention, with the two frequently appearing together at high-profile events. Their connection seems to be built on mutual admiration and support, as they continue to navigate the pressures of fame and their respective careers. While the future of their relationship remains to be seen, one thing is certain: Chalamet’s talent and dedication to his craft have solidified his place as one of Hollywood’s most promising young stars. As he looks ahead to the Oscars and beyond, fans and industry insiders alike are eager to see what the future holds for this gifted actor. For now, though, he can bask in the glory of his SAG Award victory, a testament to his hard work and the enduring support of his loved ones.
