Timothee Chalamet's love for the New York Knicks appears to be influencing his famous girlfriend, Kylie Jenner.
While Jenner skipped Game 6 to enjoy some beachside relaxation, declaring she has activated “vacation" mode, she still gave a subtle nod to the Knicks on social media as the team gears up for its first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since 2000.
In a series of Instagram story posts, Jenner included a Knicks-themed bracelet, signaling her support for Chalamet’s squad to her 393 million followers.
The Knicks eliminated the Boston Celtics with a dominant 119-81 win on Friday night. Following the win, Chalamet was greeted by a mob of Knicks supporters outside of Madison Square Garden, joining them to celebrate.
The Knicks reserve "Celebrity Row" for A-list stars who proudly rep the blue and orange. While Chalamet has grabbed headlines as a recent standout, longtime fixtures like Ben Stiller, Spike Lee, and others have been loyal courtside regulars for years.
“In Boston, Dana White was sitting with a Celtics jersey – you wouldn’t see him in Celebrity Row. You can be sitting other places if you’re rooting for the opposing team, but it’s not like you’re going to get access if you’re not wearing orange and blue," Knicks PR chief and media consultant Joe Favorito told the New York Post.
Expect more of Chalamet and Jenner courtside as the Knicks aim to punch their ticket to the NBA Finals during the Eastern Conference Finals.
