Timothée Chalamet is in his uncle era thanks to sister Pauline Chalamet.
The 28-year-old actor appeared on Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” podcast on Monday, December 16, and spoke about his niece for the first time. Timothée acknowledged his rigorous press tour for the Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, but explained that family time is on the other side.
“It’s coming out on Christmas, so I’m going every day. But I love the movie, that’s why … s—, man, I’m trying to go as hard as possible,” Timothée said. “Then f—ing come back [to New York] and be with my family, be with my new little niece.”
Timothée gushed over the baby being the “first one” in his family. “That’s a crazy moment,” he added.

When podcast host Von asked Timothée his niece’s name — and if he could show a picture — the actor said that Pauline, 32, is trying to keep the little one out of the public eye for now.
“I think my sister’s kept her offline,” Timothée said. “You know, my sister lives in a sort of, she’s with a group of people in, like, a forest-type thing in France.”
Pauline debuted her baby bump in June, when appearing in a photo posted to designer Jeanne Damas’ Instagram Story. She never publicly addressed her pregnancy, or the birth of her first child. However, eagle-eyed fans did catch Pauline discussing her daughter during a Paris Fashion Week event in October.
A video circulating via X at the time showed Pauline speaking with director Greta Gerwig, revealing that she gave birth “three weeks ago.”

“I just had a baby!” she gushed, gesturing to a man standing beside her, who has since been identified as producer Rhys Raiskin. “We just had a baby.”
Pauline also spoke about being a first-time mom during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show earlier this month. The actress said that Mindy Kailing, the creator of Pauline’s show Sex Lives of College Girls, was “one of the first people” to know about the pregnancy.
“I called her. I was like, ‘OK, we’re about to start [filming season 3], and, surprise!’ And she was like, I mean, you were just so supportive and had the best advice because also she’s just … Mindy does it all,” Pauline said. “So she was like, ‘Yeah, OK, no problem. And this is how we’ll handle it.’ And everyone was so supportive.”
