There were plenty of celebrity couples showing off their love at this year’s Met Gala, but Kylie Jenner walked the carpet alone. Her boyfriend, Timothée, was instead sitting courtside at the Knicks game. While Chalamet has always been a dedicated fan, according to a new report, there may have been another superstitious reason he wasn't there.

"Kylie and Timothée intentionally avoided attending the Met Gala together these past few years because they didn’t want to risk the whole ‘Met Gala curse’ thing,” the insider claimed.

The couple walked the carpet in 2019, only a few months after getting married in December 2018. They announced their separation later that summer.
