LATEST NEWS: Kylie Jenner Attends Met Gala 2025 Alone – Confirms Timothée Chalamet Left Her to Watch Basketball
In a surprising twist at the 2025 Met Gala – often hailed as the “Fashion Oscars” – Kylie Jenner stunned the red carpet alone, noticeably without her high-profile boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet. The absence of the Dune star immediately raised eyebrows, triggering a wave of speculation across social media and the entertainment world. But it was Kylie’s own heartbreaking admission that turned whispers into headlines: Timothée chose to skip the star-studded event… to watch basketball.
Dressed in a breathtaking custom Balmain gown that hugged her curves and shimmered under the flashing cameras, Kylie posed confidently. Yet behind her confident demeanor was a brewing storm. In a brief interview on the Met steps, when asked about Timothée’s whereabouts, Kylie responded with a tight smile and a simple, gut-punching truth: “He left me to watch the game. Alone.”
Sources close to the Kardashian-Jenner clan say that Kylie had been excited for weeks to walk the Met Gala carpet with Timothée. “She thought this would be a big moment for them,” one insider revealed. “They had talked about coordinating their looks, making a splash together. She was genuinely looking forward to it.” But those plans fell apart when Timothée reportedly chose to attend a high-stakes NBA playoff game instead.
While some fans praised Kylie for owning the night solo, many took to Twitter and Instagram expressing their disappointment and anger at Timothée. “He couldn’t give up one night for Kylie at the biggest fashion event of the year?” one fan tweeted. “Not cool, Timmy.” Others speculated if the decision signaled deeper trouble in paradise.
Adding fuel to the fire, paparazzi captured Timothée courtside at the Lakers game just minutes after Kylie appeared on the Met steps. Dressed casually and seemingly unbothered, the Oscar-nominated actor was seen chatting with friends and sipping drinks, while social media quickly split between defending his “personal time” and calling him out for “embarrassing” Kylie on her big night.
Kylie, for her part, kept it classy. She walked the carpet with her head held high, smiled for the cameras, and even joked with reporters about “flying solo.” But behind closed doors, sources say she was “crushed” by Timothée’s last-minute decision.
“She didn’t want to make a scene,” a friend of Kylie shared. “But it hurt. A lot.”
This marks the first major public rift between the couple, who began dating in early 2023 and have been notoriously private about their relationship. While neither camp has officially commented beyond Kylie’s candid statement, the public is left to wonder: is this a one-time misstep, or the beginning of something more serious?
For now, Kylie has returned to her usual social media presence, posting glamorous Met Gala behind-the-scenes shots without a trace of Timothée. Meanwhile, fans continue to dissect every move of the couple’s night apart.
One thing’s for sure – the drama off the red carpet might have outshined the fashion on it.
