World-famous socialite Kylie Jenner is no stranger to high-profile relationships and is currently dating A-list actor Timothee Chalamet. The two have even been spotted at multiple New York sporting events together, including New York Yankees and New York Knicks games, both of which Chalamet is a fan of.

On Monday, the Knicks opened their Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Philadelphia 76ers. However, many of the world’s most recognizable celebrities, including Jenner, were attending the Met Gala.

However, Jenner was left without a date for the star-studded event, as Chalamet elected to attend the Knicks game.

Fans reacted to Jenner being forced to roll solo on social media.

“He csnt miss a blow out knicks win. May be last of season. Sixers will start series in game 2,” one fan wrote on Twitter.

“Timmy being at the Knicks game while Ben Stiller attends the Met Gala is a pretty significant moment for the Knicks celebrity fans power rankings,” Front Office Sports’ Ben Axelrod added.

“Salute chalamet screw the met gala im watching (basketball),” someone else wrote.

“He knows his priorities,” another fan added.

It’ll be interesting to see how far the Knicks can go in what is looking like a wide open Eastern Conference. One thing is clear though, Chalamet will be there to support the team every step of the way.
