Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner's courtside appearance at a Knicks playoff game ignited a social media frenzy. A viral video captured an interaction between the couple, with Jenner appearing enthusiastic while Chalamet seemed less engaged, sparking online commentary about their chemistry. This overshadowed the Knicks' defeat by the Indiana Pacers, leaving the couple as the main focus.
Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet and beauty legend Kylie Jenner were front and center at Madison Square Garden recently, drawing nearly as much attention as the New York Knicks themselves. The couple, who have been dating since 2023, showed up courtside during the Knicks’ playoff series against the Indiana Pacers.
But instead of just camera flashes and celeb admiration, the duo found themselves in the middle of an unexpected internet storm.
Skip Bayless throws shade at Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner; fans join in on the memes
A clip of the pair from the game went viral this week and not for the reasons they might’ve hoped. In the now widely shared video, Jenner is seen leaning into Chalamet with clear excitement, while he appears a little less responsive, offering a reserved smile as she cuddles close. The moment quickly snowballed online, with fans labelling the interaction as “forced” and “awkward.”
The viral moment also caught the attention of none other than Skip Bayless, the outspoken sports personality. On X, Bayless wrote, “When did Timothée Chalamet replace Spike Lee as Mr. Knick??? Before this, he was a Complete Unknown when it came to the Knicks. And Kylie Jenner is Ms. Knick??? This is just wrong.” Bayless’ comments added fuel to the fire, with fans debating whether Chalamet has truly earned his Knicks fandom stripes.
Some fans defended the couple’s public appearance, but others weren’t shy about joining the chorus of memes and comments dissecting the dynamic between the two stars.
One fan wrote, “Kylie’s into him like 90%. He’s about 20% into this whole situation,” while another quipped, “That man looks like he’s thinking about his next indie film, not the game or the kiss.”

The Knicks may be out, but Chalamet and Jenner remain firmly in the spotlight. Whether their chemistry courtside can win over NBA fans remains to be seen, but they’ve given social media something to talk about well into the offseason.
