Timothée Chalamet’s passion for the New York Knicks seems to be rubbing off on his celebrity girlfriend, Kylie Jenner.
Although Jenner opted out of Game 6 to unwind at the beach, announcing she’s in “vacation” mode, she still showed subtle support for the Knicks on social media as they prepare for their first Eastern Conference Finals since 2000.
In her Instagram Stories, Jenner featured a Knicks-themed bracelet, quietly cheering for Chalamet’s team to her 393 million followers.
After the Knicks’ commanding 119-81 victory over the Boston Celtics on Friday night, Chalamet was swarmed by ecstatic Knicks fans outside Madison Square Garden, where he joined in the celebration.
The Knicks’ “Celebrity Row” is reserved for A-list fans who proudly sport the team’s blue and orange. While Timothée Chalamet has recently stolen the spotlight, longtime staples like Ben Stiller and Spike Lee have been devoted courtside fixtures for years.
Knicks PR chief and media consultant Joe Favorito told the New York Post, “In Boston, Dana White was sitting with a Celtics jersey – you wouldn’t see him in Celebrity Row. You can sit elsewhere if you’re rooting for the other team, but you won’t get access without wearing orange and blue.”
As the Knicks push for an NBA Finals berth in the Eastern Conference Finals, expect to see more of Chalamet and Kylie Jenner cheering courtside.
