Kylie Jenner has decided to skip the Met Gala alongside Timothée Chalamet, citing concerns over the “Met Gala curse.” This superstition suggests that couples who attend the event together might experience relationship difficulties afterward.
Kylie Jenner’s Superstitions About the Met Gala Curse
A source disclosed that Jenner, age 28, has intentionally avoided attending the prestigious fashion event with Chalamet, age 30. They believe this decision protects their budding relationship from potential bad luck.
The insider noted that Jenner became particularly cautious after attending the Met Gala with her ex, Travis Scott, in 2018 and 2019. Those events preceded the eventual breakdown of their relationship.
- Jenner and Scott started dating in 2017.
- They welcomed daughter Stormi in early 2018.
- The couple split permanently in January 2023.
In contrast, Jenner’s sister Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson suffered a short-lived romance, ending just three months after their Met Gala appearance in August 2022. This history has led Jenner to avoid taking any risks with her new romance.
Chalamet’s Met Gala Absence
Timothée Chalamet opted to skip the Met Gala this year, instead attending a New York Knicks game. He shared his courtside experience on social media, demonstrating his long-standing support for the team.
Meanwhile, Jenner made a stunning appearance at the Gala, wearing a bejeweled Schiaparelli gown that caught the attention of many. The gown featured intricate designs with a nude illusion corset, highlighted by faux body contours.
Celebrity Relationships and the Met Gala Curse
Jenner and Chalamet are not the only celebrities concerned about the so-called “Met Gala curse.” Several couples have faced similar struggles after attending the event together:
- Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx: Split in May 2019, weeks after their Met debut.
- Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long: Ended their relationship four months after attending in May 2015.
- Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth: Attended once during their ten-year relationship, later announcing their separation in August 2019.
As dating rumors for Jenner and Chalamet first emerged in April 2023, this decision to skip the Gala highlights their desire to protect their relationship from superstition.
