Why Wasn't Kylie Jenner at Game 1 of NBA Finals With BF Timothee Chalamet?

​​Kylie Jennerhad a valid reason to miss the New York Knicks vs. San Antonio Spurs game.

Jenner, 28, was too busy vacationing in Turks and Caicos on her Kylie Cosmetics trip to be boyfriend Timothée Chalamet's plus one at the first game in the NBA finals on Wednesday, June 3. Instead of cheering on the Knicks with Chalamet, 30, Jenner showed off her bikini style via Instagram while soaking up the sun. She sizzled in a green, brown, black and white camo design featuring a triangle bikini top with halter straps and matching thong bottoms that tied in bows on her hips.

"I wanna love yaaaa," Jenner captioned the post. Her celebrity friends teased her for missing the game in the comments section.

"Go Knicks 😍," Hailey Bieber wrote, while Natalie Buck added, "Let's go Knicks!!!!!!!!!!!!" More of her fans got in on the fun too, commenting, "Kylie the Knicks are on not now!!!" and, "Kylie, the Knicks are playing."

Jenner has attended a number of Knicks games with Chalamet. Most recently, she cheered the team on at game four of the NBA Eastern finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers. For the game, she wore a blue-and-orange Knicks T-shirt and jeans.

When she misses games, she still supports her man via social media. Last month, she commented "Daddy" on a video of the actor walking into Madison Square Garden while debuting a haircut and mustache.

Last season, she even playfully reposted a clip from Sex and the City when the cast was talking about the Knicks.

"When did we start caring about basketball?" Sarah Jessica Parker's character Carrie Bradshaw asked Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall).

Samatha replied, "Don is obsessed," Samantha said. "I don't get laid unless the Knicks win."

Jenner and Chalamet started dating in 2023. They made their relationship public in September of that year while packing on the PDA at Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour in Los Angeles. In January 2024, she supported him at the Golden Globes. Jenner has also been Chalamet's date at movie premieres, the Oscars, the Critics Choice Awards and more.

In March, a source exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about the pair, sharing they are "very serious and committed to each other."

"Their relationship is very strong and they have a good rhythm going," the insider added.

After he thanked her in an acceptance speech at the Critics Choice Awards, they "had a lot of real conversations about their future and what they both want," the source shared.
