Timothée Chalamet Skips Met Gala for Knicks Game, Leaves Kylie Jenner Solo on the Carpet

Met Gala 2025: While stars dazzled at the 2025 Met Gala, one notable face was missing—Timothée Chalamet. The actor opted out of fashion’s biggest night to watch his beloved New York Knicks take on the Celtics in Game 1 of the playoffs.

Knicks vs. Celtics: A Game Too Good to Miss

Chalamet, a longtime Knicks fan, wasn’t about to miss a game that turned into a high-stakes thriller. The Knicks pulled off a stunning 108–105 overtime comeback, and Timothée was fully locked in. On social media, he shared live reactions like,
“s****ing myself, this game is insane” and
“shaking. What a win!”

Kylie Shines Solo at the Met Gala

Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner stunned on the Met steps, making a solo appearance in signature glam. Despite walking alone, she appeared poised and unfazed by her partner’s absence.

Courtside Romance Still Going Strong

Just a week prior, the couple was spotted courtside at a Lakers game, cuddled up and kissing. That night ended in a Lakers loss—maybe one reason Chalamet decided to cheer from home instead this time, hoping to bring his Knicks some good luck.

Will They Reunite Courtside in NYC?

With the Knicks set to host Games 3 and 4 at Madison Square Garden, fans are watching to see if Kylie and Timothée will reunite courtside in New York.

A Low-Key But Steady Love

The duo first sparked dating rumors in April 2023, going public in September 2023 during Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour in L.A. Since then, they’ve made select public appearances—including the Golden Globes and a recent NBA playoff game—but have mostly kept things under wraps.

Different Worlds, Shared Chemistry

Despite their different worlds—Kylie dominating beauty and business, and Timothée ruling film and fashion—the couple has continued to intrigue fans with their subtle yet steady connection.
