Many shared their two cents on their body language, claiming, “He always has his eyes open when the kiss. How romantic.”

“He’s literally gained negative aura since being with her lol it’s actually wild how unattractive he’s become,” another said.

Some noted how Jenner’s appearance at the match came days after her mother, Kris Jenner, announced the passing of her own mother, Mary Jo “MJ” Shannon, at the age of 91.

“Shouldn’t she be mourning her grandmother??” one asked after Jenner was seen at the football final with her boyfriend.

“And her nan just di*d this family is full of bull sh**,” another critic said.

“To be fair her grandmother di*d this week/recently. But clearly that doesn’t stop her from attending a very public event with lots of cameras cause work is work,” one Reddit user wrote on the platform.

“Who cares that her grandmother di*d and her mother most likely needs emotional support she smiles and attends in black,” they continued.

“Ask yourself why would anyone attend an event if they are grieving or lost a relative – only if your ‘compassionate leave’ has run out and you need to return to work.”

Chalamet is known to have a penchant for living sporting events and often enjoys courtside dates with Jenner

Chalamet is known to have a penchant for live sporting events.

He is often seen enjoying courtside dates with Jenner while his favorite NBA basketball team, the New York Knicks, is playing.

“Way rather this than the Oscars! Come on, baby!” Chalamet said courtside after the Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs and claimed the NBA title in a 4-1 series last month.

“Knicks are champions, baby!” Chalamet exclaimed.

The three-time Oscar nominee even made his way inside the locker room to celebrate his hometown team’s victory.

In a video of him celebrating with the Kicks, a voice off-camera was heard asking the Hollywood star if he wanted goggles to protect his eyes from the champagne showers.

“I don’t deserve them. I’m not an athlete,” he replied. “Usually, I have a stunt double do that.”

Netizens unabashedly shared their two cents about Chalamet and Jenner’s demeanor at the game
