Kylie Jenner is embracing her inner Samantha Jones during the NBA playoffs thanks to boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.
Jenner, 27, reposted a TikTok video from HBO Max’s official account on Thursday, May 29, of a Sex and the City scene about Samantha (Kim Cattrell) watching New York Knicks games.
“Since when did we start caring about basketball?” Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie asked during a girls’ lunch.
Samantha subsequently explained that her latest love interest, a man named Don, was “obsessed” with the New York-based team.

“I don’t get laid unless the Knicks win,” she lamented.
Jenner attended the Knicks playoff game with Chalamet, 29, on Thursday, watching the home team beat the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 at Madison Square Garden. While Chalamet — a die-hard Knicks fan — has been present for the majority of the Knicks’ playoff run, Thursday marked the second game for the reality star.
For the latest outing, Jenner accessorized her team gear with leather pants, white Chanel pumps and a JPJ Jeans leather jacket. And luckily for Jenner, the Knicks defeated the Pacers 111-94.
Kylie previously brought her sister Kendall Jenner to a Knicks game with the couple earlier this month. Despite her frequent appearances in the stands, many former athletes think it’s too soon to call Kylie a good luck charm.

“Come on, now. That’s reaching a little too far,” former Knicks star Chris Childs told TMZ Sports on May 15. “The Knicks just have a good team. If anybody’s a good luck charm it’s the players on the court. It’s Jalen [Brunson] and Josh [Hart] and all the other guys that are good luck charms. They’re the ones that have to get out there and get the job done.”
Jenner, who shares two children with ex Travis Scott, has been dating Chalamet since spring 2023. They frequently turned heads at various red carpet events throughout 2025 while Chalamet was promoting A Complete Unknown.
“Timothée is very focused on his career and Kylie loves being on the sidelines cheering him on,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in January. “She loves that she’s in the spotlight more than her. It’s been a breath of fresh air.”
The insider added, “This is a very different relationship dynamic than what Kylie is used to. [It’s] opened her eyes to the more artistic side of the industry.”
Jenner and Chalamet made their official red carpet debut at the 70th David Di Donatello film festival in Rome earlier in May.
“Kylie’s really happy and relieved they finally made their debut. It was time, and she wanted to publicly support him and show how proud of him she is,” a second insider told Us. “She and Timothée have gotten really serious, and this was a big step. They are practically living together at this point, as he stays at her house often when he is not working. He has been fully integrated into her life.”
