Kylie Jenner And Timothée Chalamet could barely contain their enthusiasm as New York Knicks punched their ticket for the NBA Finals for the first time in almost three decades.
The celebrity couple transformed Madison Square Garden into their own romantic setting Monday night, celebrating the historic victory with kisses, hugs and heated reactions throughout the intense match.
While Chalamet was immersed in the emotion of the sport, Jenner seemed just as invested in the action, cheering loudly alongside her boyfriend on the unforgettable evening.
Kylie Jenner celebrates Knicks victory with on-court kiss
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet were front and center as the Knicks secured a long-awaited trip to the NBA Finals after sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The pair erupted with enthusiasm the moment the final result became official, immediately embracing on the pitch before sharing a passionate kiss in front of the roaring crowd.
The victory marked the Knicks’ first appearance in the NBA Championship Series since 1999, making the atmosphere inside the arena electric.
Photos obtained by Daily Mail showed Jenner wrapping her arms around Chalamet as the actor celebrated his beloved team’s major milestone.
Throughout the match, the beauty mogul remained firmly focused on the court, at times appearing even more emotionally invested in the hard-fought match than the “Dune” star herself.
Jenner also fully embraced the spirit of basketball for the occasion, wearing a blue Knicks t-shirt while cheering alongside her boyfriend.
The reality star paired the sporty top with blue denim pants, black heels and a black Chanel bag, mixing casual style with on-pitch glamour.
Jenner continues to support Chalamet’s basketball obsession
Kylie Jenner has attended several basketball games with Chalamet in recent weeks, embracing the 30-year-old’s deep love for the Knicks.
Monday’s outing was just the latest step in what has become a recurring on-court routine for the couple.
Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet matched the casual energy in a vintage-inspired black leather jacket embroidered with the New York logo. As the game intensified, cameras repeatedly captured the two men laughing, celebrating and whispering to each other from their premium seats.
Later in the evening, the duo’s enthusiasm reached another level as they celebrated lively alongside “30 Rock” star Tracy Morgan.
Reactions from the field quickly circulated online, with fans obsessing over the affectionate moments between the Oscar nominee and the Kylie Cosmetics founder.
The latest outing also comes shortly after Jenner and Chalamet packed on the PDA at another Knicks game earlier this month, when New York took on the Philadelphia 76ers.
During this appearance, the lovebirds shared several kisses while taking brief breaks to watch the action unfold on the court.
Kylie Jenner faced Met Gala buzz after Timothée Chalamet’s absence
Despite Jenner’s unwavering support of Chalamet’s basketball outings, the “Marty Supreme” actor recently faced criticism online after skipping the Met Gala while Jenner attended alone.
Rather than join his girlfriend at fashion’s biggest party, Chalamet opted to stay focused on the NBA playoffs and watching the Knicks.
Jenner walked the Met Gala carpet solo in a dramatic flesh-colored Schiaparelli gown with a nipple-teasing bodice, while her man spent the evening courtside.
On social media, the actor made no mention of the glamorous event and instead posted a photo of his sky blue Adidas Samba sneakers from the basketball game.
The decision divided social media users. Some praised Chalamet’s choice as relevant and authentic, while others thought he should have supported Jenner at one of the fashion industry’s biggest nights.
The debate only intensified as this wasn’t the first time Chalamet skipped the Met Gala in favor of basketball.
Jenner went solo to the Met Gala for a second year in a row
This year’s Met Gala marked the second year in a row that Kylie Jenner attended the event without Timothée Chalamet by her side.
Last year, the Oscar nominee also skipped the high-profile fashion event to watch the Knicks play, fueling ongoing discussions about his priorities whenever basketball season collides with celebrity obligations.
Still, Jenner has consistently shown support for Chalamet’s interests, particularly his loyalty to the New York franchise.
Their relationship has continued to grow over the years, with the couple now dating for over three years.
After keeping much of their romance relatively private at first, Jenner and Chalamet officially stepped into the spotlight together when they made their red carpet debut at the 70th Annual David Di Donatello Awards in May 2025.
Since then, the couple has become increasingly comfortable showing their affection publicly, whether at glamorous award shows or intense playoff matches.
Kylie Jenner’s ‘jealousy’ almost went off the rails with Timothée Chalamet
Although Jenner and Chalamet seem all in love, recent reports suggest that the socialite almost lost the actor due to jealousy and trust issues that created major tension behind the scenes in their relationship.
According to The Blast, insiders claimed that Jenner initially struggled with Chalamet’s need for independence and became uncomfortable with the amount of time he spent filming movies and maintaining friendships outside of their romance.
A source claimed the reality star “wanted to be with him all the time,” which reportedly made Chalamet “claustrophobic.”
The insider added that Chalamet eventually became blunt about the need for more personal space, which led to serious friction between the two men in late 2025 while he was filming “Dune: Part Three” overseas and promoting “Marty Supreme.”
Reports also claimed that Jenner’s insecurities intensified whenever Chalamet spent extended periods away from work, although the couple reportedly resolved the issues by improving communication and becoming more private about their relationship.
