Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson may have ended their relationship nearly two years ago, but that hasn’t stopped Khloe’s famous family from showing support for the NBA star.
Kim Kardashian and momager Kris Jenner united to cheer on Khloe’s ex-boyfriend at a Los Angeles Lakers game.
Kim even brought her son Saint, who sported a yellow jersey with Tristan’s new number, to sit courtside with the family.
Kris’ boyfriend Corey Gamble also joined the stars as they watched the playoff game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Tristan appeared friendly with the Kardashian-Jenner clan, stopping for a chat and a hug before the game commenced.
On the other hand, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry enjoyed a date night at an NBA game, watching the Los Angeles Lakers face off against the Memphis Grizzlies during a playoff game at the Crypto.com Arena.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were all smiles as they were featured on the overhead jumbotron, capturing a special moment shared by the couple.
Despite this, a video of them shared on the NBA’s Instagram account garnered less than 100,000 views in 17 hours.
Interestingly, the NBA showcased photos of the Kardashians on their homepage with the caption “Real Hollywood Royalty.”
In contrast, an NBA Twitter account referred to the Sussexes as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, omitting their official titles as the Duke and Duchess.
This move was seen as a slight towards Meghan, especially following her recent TED talk where she emphasized the importance of her title.
Critics argue that Meghan should consider relinquishing her title to make a powerful statement about independence and feminism, rather than clinging to it out of vanity and ego.
Under comments sections of articles covering the appearances of both couples, Meghan faced criticism for allegedly seeking attention and wearing inappropriate attire, such as a wrinkled pink suit.
In contrast, Kim received praise for her fashion choice, donning a black leather Balenciaga jacket and matching pants, accentuating her toned figure with a tiny crop top.
The 42-year-old completed her look with black sunglasses and a neutral makeup palette, styling her silky black hair flowing over her shoulders.
She enjoyed playful moments with her son during the game, capturing silly selfies together.
The contrast between the reactions towards Kim and Meghan highlights the complexities of fame and public perception.
While Kim is commended for her fashion sense and effortless style, Meghan faces scrutiny for her perceived attachment to her royal title.
The dynamics of celebrity culture intertwine with societal expectations, shaping narratives and perceptions of individuals in the public eye.
As the saga of royalty and titles unfolds, it sparks discussions on identity, privilege, and the power dynamics at play within the realms of fame and status.
