Timothée Chalamet is proving that his connection with Kylie Jenner extends beyond their relationship—he’s also forming bonds with her family.
On Thursday, Feb. 27, the Oscar-nominated actor, 29, was spotted courtside at the Los Angeles Lakers game alongside fellow French actor Stéphane Bak, 28. However, one particular moment from the night caught the internet’s attention—Chalamet’s friendly interaction with Corey Gamble, the longtime partner of Kylie’s mother, Kris Jenner.
A Courtside Connection with Corey Gamble
In a viral video circulating on social media, Chalamet, casually holding a beer in one hand, walked over to Gamble, 44, greeting him with a dap and a warm hug. Bak followed suit, exchanging pleasantries with Gamble while Chalamet stood between them, smiling and engaging in conversation.
Before returning to his seat, Chalamet and Gamble shared another quick hug, showcasing a level of comfort and familiarity that had fans buzzing.
The interaction stood out as a rare public moment of Chalamet engaging with Kylie’s extended family, as the couple has remained notoriously private since they first started dating nearly two years ago.
