TIME 100 Gala Highlights

Thursday night was bustling with events, and among them, the TIME 100 Gala at Lincoln Center in New York stood out, featuring a remarkable list of attendees. The gala honored 100 notable figures, including Kate Hudson, Sterling K. Brown, and Scottie Scheffler.

One of the evening’s sweetest moments unfolded when Chloe Kim shared a tender interaction on the red carpet with her boyfriend, NFL star Myles Garrett.

Just before the festivities kicked off, photographers caught the seven-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman admiring the two-time Olympic gold medalist as she posed elegantly in a shimmering pink dress.

Unaware that Garrett was stealing glances, Kim called for him to join her for a photo, which was delightful to see. During the event, Kim also gave a toast, and by the end of the night, Garrett carried her out of the venue.

The images from the night showed Kim, 26, laughing and beaming throughout their charming interactions.

The couple has been together for over a year, quickly becoming one of the favorite duos in the sports world. Earlier this year, Garrett even traveled to Italy to support Kim during the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, where she earned a silver medal in the women’s halfpipe, despite dealing with a torn labrum in her shoulder sustained during practice.

After the Olympics, Kim opened up on her podcast “Not Thin, But Not Fat,” discussing how her relationships often face challenges due to her fame and achievements.

Feeling frustrated at times, she expressed to her therapist, “I’m looking for someone who is tall, attractive, kind, and family-oriented, but also as accomplished as I am—or even more.” Interestingly, her therapist had worked with Garrett before and played a role in introducing the two.

As they enjoyed the festivities in New York, the Cleveland Browns selected offensive tackle Spencer Fano at No. 9 and wide receiver KC Concepcion at No. 24 during the 2026 NFL Draft.
