As the crowd erupted in applause, he leaned in toward Jenner for what seemed like a celebratory kiss, but the moment didn’t quite land as smoothly as expected.

But when Jenner leaned in for a second kiss, aiming for a sweet moment, Chalamet turned his attention to the applauding audience and those seated nearby, unintentionally leaving her hanging.

Just two days after Timothee Chalamet skipped the 2025 Met Gala, fueling chatter about a possible red carpet debut. According to insiders, Chalamet skipped the fashion event to enjoy a low-key night with friends and catch an NBA playoff game between the Knicks and Celtics.

Until now, Jenner and Chalamet had only been spotted together at exclusive after-parties and behind closed doors as a couple.
