While her boyfriend, New York Knicks superfan Timothée Chalamet, was at Madison Square Garden for Game 1, Kylie Jenner was at the 2026 Met Gala and linked up with NBA star Russell Westbrook.

Granted, Westbrook didn’t have a game to play, as the Sacramento Kings did not qualify for the playoffs during the 2025-26 season.
Why Timothée Chalamet left Kylie Jenner to attend the Met Gala alone for the Knicks game

For the second year in a row, Jenner went to the Met Gala alone while Chalamet watched the Knicks. At least this year, he got to be there in-person instead of watching on a computer.
Chalamet is a devoted Knicks fan, so he didn’t want to miss Game 1. It paid off, as they won the game by 39 points against the Sixers.
He was one of the many celebrities at the game instead of the Met Gala. Jimmy Fallon, Noah Kahan, Edie Falco, and Tracy Morgan were also at the game.
The Knicks are riding high after winning their fourth game in a row (by more than 10 points, no less). Meanwhile, the Sixers are coming off an emotional journey in their series against the Boston Celtics, which they won after coming back from a 3-1 deficit.
Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 35 points in 31 minutes, making 75% of his shots. OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Karl-Anthony Towns scored 18, 17, and 17 points, respectively.
