LATEST NEWS: Kylie Jenner Breaks Down at Met Gala 2025 After Timothée Chalamet Ditches Her for Basketball Game
In a jaw-dropping moment at the prestigious Met Gala 2025, often hailed as the “Fashion Oscars,” Kylie Jenner made a glamorous yet noticeably solo appearance—without her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet. The unexpected absence of Chalamet sent shockwaves across social media, igniting rumors of a breakup, a falling out, or worse. But no one was prepared for what Kylie herself would reveal later that evening.
Draped in a dazzling silver ensemble that screamed high fashion, Kylie walked the red carpet with the grace and confidence of a seasoned star. But behind the carefully crafted poses and elegant smiles, something was clearly amiss. The makeup mogul seemed distant, and as the event progressed, the speculation only intensified: Where was Timothée?
Fans got their answer when Kylie gave an impromptu interview just before heading into the Gala’s afterparty. With a heavy sigh and tears forming in her eyes, she heartbreakingly admitted, “He didn’t want to come. He chose to stay home and watch basketball instead. Alone.” The confession left fans stunned—and furious.
Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok instantly exploded with reactions. Many fans felt betrayed on Kylie’s behalf. “Skipping the Met Gala to watch basketball? Timothée, are you serious?” wrote one user. Another commented, “Kylie deserves better. No woman should ever be second to a game.”
This revelation has not only sparked outrage but also led to a wave of memes, jokes, and think-pieces online. Some users mocked the actor’s decision to choose the NBA playoffs over arguably the most important night in fashion, while others began to speculate about deeper problems in their relationship.
Timothée Chalamet, who has not made a public statement yet, was allegedly spotted courtside at a Lakers game just as the Met Gala red carpet livestream began. The timing couldn’t have been worse. Many interpreted the move as deliberate, perhaps signaling a silent breakup or at least serious tension between the two stars.
Kylie and Timothée had been dating since mid-2023, and although the relationship was kept mostly private, they made headlines last year after attending Beyoncé’s concert together and sharing sweet moments at the US Open. Their chemistry seemed strong, but cracks have reportedly been forming behind the scenes in recent months.
A source close to the Kardashian-Jenner circle hinted that Kylie had been pushing for more public appearances together, especially with events as high-profile as the Met Gala. Timothée, on the other hand, allegedly preferred a low-key, more private lifestyle. “They’re just very different people,” the insider claimed. “This might be the breaking point.”
As fans wait for an official response from Chalamet or further comments from Kylie, one thing is clear: the fairy-tale romance may be unraveling—and not even the Met Gala’s glittering lights could hide the heartbreak.
