Madison Square Garden always attracts the biggest stars courtside, and it was no different during Game 2 between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Several high-profile names were in attendance, including Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, with the actor turning heads after repeatedly grabbing his girlfriend during the game.
Hater Report shared a clip of Chalamet on X (formerly Twitter), in which the Dune star appeared to get handsy with his girlfriend on the sidelines.
“Timothée Chalamet couldn’t stop palming Kylie Jenner a*s like a basketball at the Knicks game lmao,” Hater Report captioned the post.
In the clip, Chalamet and Jenner appeared to be celebrating the Knicks’ 108-102 win over the 76ers, sharing a kiss courtside. However, the actor was repeatedly seen grabbing his girlfriend during the celebrations, prompting reactions from fans.
While most fans chose to see the funny side of the couple’s courtside romance, a few suggested that the actor’s behavior reflected poorly on their relationship and questioned its longevity.
Though fans remained divided in their opinions, suggesting that the couple would not last based on a single courtside moment may be a stretch.
The pair have been together for over a year and have been regulars at Knicks games, despite Jenner being based in Los Angeles.
While speculation about Chalamet’s relationship will likely remain a talking point among fans, the actor will be a happy man heading into Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series.
The Knicks have made back-to-back semifinal appearances for the third straight season and have one foot in the conference finals as they look to take a 3-0 lead in Philadelphia on Friday.
Timothee Chalamet prioritizes the Knicks’ playoff game over Kylie Jenner and the MET Gala
The Met Gala remains one of the biggest events on the annual calendar, especially among movie stars and fashion icons. However, Timothee Chalamet skipped the event in favor of the Knicks’ semifinal game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The actor appeared courtside for Game 1 of the series on Monday, while his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, attended the Met Gala alone. Bleacher Report highlighted this on X (formerly Twitter).
“Timothée Chalamet SKIPPED the Met Gala to watch the Knicks in Game 1 😭🔥He’s one of us 🙌,” Bleacher Report captioned the post.
Chalamet skipping the gala for the Knicks highlights his loyalty to the team, as the actor remains a regular attendee at Madison Square Garden.
