Timothée Chalamet raised eyebrows after skipping the Met Gala despite being in New York City while his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, attended the star-studded fashion event.
The actor was reportedly spotted at the New York Knicks’ playoff game against the Philadelphia 76ers instead, fueling chatter that he may have “snubbed” Jenner on one of fashion’s biggest nights. However, his absence has also been linked to an alleged Met Gala “curse,” though neither Chalamet nor Jenner has confirmed that it played any role in his decision.
The couple, who has been dating for more than two years, have become increasingly public with their romance in recent months.
Chalamet and Jenner have made several public appearances together since taking their romance public, but the Met Gala was one high-profile event they reportedly chose not to attend as a pair.
Jenner still made an appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stepping out in a tailored, corseted Schiaparelli look. Chalamet, however, spent the night at Madison Square Garden, where he watched the New York Knicks take on the Philadelphia 76ers in an NBA playoff game.
According to SheKnows, the decision may have been a deliberate attempt to avoid the so-called Met Gala “curse,” a fan-fueled theory that claims couples who attend the fashion event together often split not long afterward.
The theory has been tied to Jenner’s own past, as she previously attended the 2018 Met Gala with Travis Scott before the pair eventually went their separate ways. Although they later reconciled, their relationship ultimately ended for good.
Timothée Chalamet And Kylie Jenner Attended A Broadway Event In New York
Chalamet and Jenner were seen together over the weekend as they stepped out for a Broadway performance of “The Fear of 13,” which was produced by Jenner’s older sister, Kim Kardashian.
In videos making the rounds online, the couple was seen arriving hand in hand at the venue from a black Jeep. Chalamet kept things casual for the outing in a blue windbreaker, gray pants, and white sneakers, while Jenner wore an all-black outfit under a trench coat and completed the look with thong heels.
The pair also appeared eager to keep a low profile. Chalamet wore a dark baseball cap that partially covered his face, while Jenner shielded her eyes with dark sunglasses.
The Couple Also Made An Appearance At A Basketball Game
Days earlier, the couple was also spotted at the New York Knicks’ playoff clash against the Atlanta Hawks, marking another high-profile appearance together in New York City.
At the game, Chalamet and Jenner briefly interacted with fans as they made their way through the arena. The pair also shared a cozy moment during their walk-in, with Jenner wrapping an arm around the actor as they kissed.
Once settled into their courtside seats, the two appeared completely absorbed in the atmosphere of the game. They were seen laughing, talking, and reacting to the action on the court.
In one snapshot, the duo clapped and cheered enthusiastically for the Knicks, with Chalamet at one point rising to his feet and shouting in excitement.
The Love Birds Are Living Together
Chalamet and Jenner have been linked since 2023, but they kept their relationship largely low-key until recently.
Earlier this year, reports claimed that the pair had been living together for more than a year, a development that appeared to signal just how serious their romance had become.
At the time, a source told Page Six that it felt “like they’re basically married already,” adding that they were “obsessed with each other and always together.”
The insider also claimed Chalamet has gradually become more involved in the lives of Jenner’s children, Stormi, 7, and Aire Webster, 3, whom she shares with her ex, Travis Scott.
Timothée Chalamet And Kylie Jenner Might Want Kids Together
Chalamet and Jenner have not publicly confirmed any specific plans to have children together, but both have previously suggested they are open to expanding their families in the future.
In March, Jenner told Vanity Fair that she intends to spend the final years of her 20s focusing on her career and personal life. After that, she said she hopes to have more children, though she did not say whether that would be with Chalamet.
For his part, Chalamet told Vogue in a previous cover story that starting a family “could be on the radar.”
The actor also reflected on a video he had watched in which someone bragged about not having children and having more time to pursue other interests. Chalamet described that mindset as “bleak,” further suggesting that he may be open to fatherhood in the future.
