Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner were spotted sitting courtside at an NBA game on Monday, May 25.

Timothée and Kylie were all smiles at Madison Square Garden as the New York Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers to move on to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. The 30-year-old Oscar nominee and the 28-year-old beauty mogul have been dating since 2023, and have been seen cheering on Timothée's hometown team together on multiple occasions.

According to a body language expert, Kylie may not have been "really into it," while Timothée seemed "desperate to connect" with other fans during the Knicks' triumphant win. The analysis comes after it appeared that Kylie was 'doing all the heavy lifting' during the couple's date night.

Body language expert Inbaal Honigman, speaking on behalf of Casino.org, analyzed the couple's interactions during the high-energy night out at the Knicks game, concluding that Timothée may be able to "sense" that Kylie's "happiness is for him, not for the team," which left him seeking out other fans to celebrate with.

She noted that when the Lady Bird actor is seen celebrating, "he is truly excited." Kylie, however, seems to be celebrating "with a lot less conviction," showing that while she may not be "into" the game, she showed up to support Timothée.

"She's happy to see her man happy, but she doesn't quite get what it is all about. Kylie is supporting Timothée, but she's less connected to the basketball win, and Timothée can tell that she's not really into it," Inbaal explained.

Throughout the game, Timothée's joy is "palpable," and his reactions are "effervescent" as he smiles from ear to ear, with "cheeks raised so high that they're squeezing his eyes shut, and eyebrows turned upwards in an expression of gratitude."

At one point in the night, the A Complete Unknown star pulled Kylie into his arms, holding her tightly while patting her on the bum "with gratitude," before "looking to share the win with fans who really get it."

The expert notes that Timothée does not lock eyes with the mother of two "even for a moment" during his celebration. "His eyes tell the full story," Inbaal explained, "as he's desperate to connect with true fans over the victory."

As they embrace, Timothée appars to glance around while holding Kylie, as if he is "searching for someone who's truly elated like him," perhaps not viewing "her happiness as genuine" over the win as she bounces up and down in delight.

"He knows she doesn't really get it," the body language interpreter explained. "His eyes are on the court at first, entirely detached from Kylie. Later on, his eyes wander, searching for other celebrity fans to congratulate."

Despite the reality star's enthusiastic expressions, Timothée, according to the expert, "can sense that Kylie's happiness is for him, not for the team, and he appears to view himself as a true fan, interested in sharing the victory with other true fans."

The couple's PDA-filled court-side appearance shows Kylie's willingness to show up for her partner, even though she's not fully "into" it, while Timothée wholeheartedly cheers on his home team and searches for camaraderie with other hardcore Knicks fans.
