Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have reportedly dating for months, although they only recently confirmed their relationship with public appearances. Earlier this month, they attended Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour concert in Los Angeles. According to a source for PEOPLE, the two have been together for upwards of six months. “They have been seeing each other for six months now. He makes Kylie happy,” the source told the outlet. “He has his own life and understands that Kylie needs to prioritize her kids. He is charming, very loving and protective of Kylie. She likes that he is a private guy.”

As for Djokovic’s win at the event, he explained his decision to honor Kobe Bryant afterward. He rocked a shirt with “Mamba Forever” and an image of Kobe Bryant on it. The back also featured Bryant’s 24 jersey number. “I thought of doing this t-shirt eventually if I get the chance to win the tournament,” Djokovic said. “Kobe was close friend, we chatted a lot about the winner’s mentality when I was struggling with an injury and trying to make my comeback, to work my way back to the top of my game. He was one of the people I relied on the most.”

With her victory over Aryna Sabalenka, the 19-year-old became the youngest American to win the U.S. Open since Serena Williams in 1999.

Coco Gauff made a name for herself on the international stage after beating Venus Williams at Wimbledon as a 15-year-old. When asked about the expectations placed on her after, she admitted to CNN’s Carolyn Manno they affected her “a lot.” “I learned how to just stay within myself but also embrace it,” she said after the win. “Before I tried to ignore it, but now I’m really embracing it and I still feel like I have long, long ways to develop as a player. Today was nowhere near my best, but it was just enough that I needed to win in that moment.” Check out the clip of Gauff singing “Barbie World” below.

The new social media post isn’t the first time Gauff has shouted out hip-hop artists after a victory. Last year, she proclaimed it a “City Girls summer” after beating Zhang Shuai in Round 4 of the 2022 US Open. “That was a City Girls’ ‘period,’” she said at the time. “It’s a City Girls summer. Period. That’s what it is. JT, Yung Miami, you don’t know? I got my long nails, it’s supposed to be like that. It’s feeding off the crowd.”

On Saturday, September 9, Coco Gauff made tennis history after she beat Aryna Sabalenka to win the 2023 US Open title. According to CBS, the 19-year-old player became the youngest American woman to win the tournament since Serena Williams. After the landmark victory, Gauff took to TikTok to bask in the moment with a very fitting soundtrack.

In a video captioned “This Barbie is the US Open Champion 💞,” Gauff is seen lipsynching along to Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s song “Barbie World.” The track, which appears on the Barbie movie’s official soundtrack, is all about confidence, of which Gauff has plenty.

@cocogauff

this barbie is the us open champion 💞

♬ Barbie World – <3

During Gauff’s victory speech, she let her confidence shine bright as she clapped back at those who doubted she would come out on top.

Honestly, thank you to the people who didn’t believe in me. Like a month ago, I won a 500 title, and people said I would stop at that. Two weeks ago, I won a 1,000 title, and people were saying that was the biggest I was going to get. So three weeks later, I’m here with this trophy right now. I tried my best to carry this with grace, and I’ve been doing my best. So honestly, to those who thought [they] were putting water on my fire, you’re really adding gas to it. And now I’m really burning so bright right now.

Sports stars such as Angel Reese have appeared alongside their favorite musical acts. For Reese, that was Cardi B and Latto, when she made a cameo in their video for “Put It On Da Floor Again.” Maybe Coco Gauff will link up with Nicki Minaj or Ice Spice in the future.
Barbie: The Album is out now via Atlantic. Find more information here.

The Barbie soundtrack is a Warner Music release. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Coco Gauff secured her first Grand Slam title with a 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory over Aryna Sabalenka at the US Open on September 9. With the win, Gauff became the first American to win the US Open since Serena Williams in 2014 and the youngest American winner since Williams in 1999. It has marked the peak of a white-hot 2023 season for Gauff, where she has won two other titles. It sets her up perfectly for a 2024 season that will likely include an appearance at the Olympics in Paris.

Gauff celebrated her win in her unique, energetic style. Taking to TikTok, Gauff posted a video posing with the trophy as DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win” played in the background. “Oh my goodness, it means so much to me,” Gauff told ESPN‘s Mary Joe Fernandez. “I feel like I’m a little bit in shock in this moment. That [2022] French Open loss was a heartbreak for me. But I realized God put you through tribulations and trials and that makes this moment even sweeter than I could have imagined.”

Gauff Gets High Praise

“You played unbelievable,” Sabalenka said to Gauff during the on-court trophy ceremony. “Congrats to you and your team, you guys deserve this title. Many more to come, I’m pretty sure.” However, the praise didn’t stop at her opponent. “Congratulations to US Open champion, @CocoGauff! We couldn’t be prouder of you on and off the court – and we know the best is yet to come,” wrote former president Barack Obama. “This generation is living the dream of the Original 9. Congratulations, @CocoGauff! 💙,” wrote women’s tennis legend Billie Jean King.

Furthermore, Gauff received a litany of praise for her post-victory speech. “In one speech coco gauff: thanked her opponent, thanked her family, thanked her haters, thanked her coaches, thanked the behind-the-scenes tennis workers, thanked Billie Jean King for fighting for $ equality, shouted out her dad for crying in 4k. No notes perfect speech,” wrote journalist Matt Ellentuck. Congratulations to Coco and we’re excited to see the heights your career heads to next.

Tom Brady Visits Novak Djokovic After US Open Semifinal

by

There was a meeting of sports icons this week as Tom Brady stopped by Flushing Meadows to pay a visit to Novak Djokovic. The NFL GOAT linked up with the tennis star after his straight-sets dismantling of the tournament’s Cinderella story, Ben Shelton. Brady introduced Djokovic to his children before explaining that he missed Djokovic’s game because the kids had school in Miami. Brady and Djokovic are fairly firm friends at this point, with Brady spending time with Djokovic’s wife Jelena earlier this year at Wimbledon.

However, it’s not the only tennis antics related to Brady lately. His all-but confirmed partner Irina Shayk dropped some tennis-themed thirst traps last month. However, the Russian model saw her Instagram post trolled by fans of her ex-boyfriend, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo.

History For Djokovic

The win over Shelton means that Djokovic is into his tenth US Open Final, matching a record set in the 1920s by Bill Tilden. If Djokovic can beat Daniil Medvedev, he will match another record. In that case, Djokovic would have earned his 24th Open Era Grand Slam title, matching the record set by Margaret Court in 1973. “Well, fact is that, at 36, every Grand Slam final … could be the last one. So I think that I probably value these occasions and opportunities to win another Slam more than I have maybe 10 years ago. I don’t know how many I have ahead of me now,” Djokovic said of the final.

“The challenge is that you play a guy that won 23 Grand Slams, and I have only one. When I beat him here, I managed to play better than myself, so I need to do it again. There is no other way,” Medvedev said of facing Djokovic. As the Russian world number 3 alluded to, this is familiar territory. Two years ago, he was able to top Djokovic and prevent the Serb from completing a calendar Grand Slam. It’s unknown if Brady will be in the audience for the Final on Sunday.

Coco Gauff Shouts Out Justin And Hailey Bieber After US Open Win

by

19-year-old tennis superstar Coco Gauff has been playing some of the best tennis of her career at the 2023 US Open. The world #6 has faced very few tests through the first three rounds. After cruising past German qualifier Laura Siegemund in the first round and beating Russia’s Mirra Andreeva in the second, she found herself drawn against world #32 Elise Mertens in the third round. After dropping the first set, Gauff rallied to win 3-6, 6-3, 6-0.

Amid the packed crowd at the Arther Ashe Stadium were Justin and Hailey Bieber. The Grammy winner, 29, was seen donning a polkda dot baseball cap and pair of pink alien glasses completing the outfit with blue jeans as well as a pair of white vest. Meanwhile, his wife rocked a black leather jacket which she paired with a white tank top and gold earrings. The Biebers were joined at various points during the match by Frances Tiafoe and Jimmy Butler.

Gauff addressed the famous faces in the audience after securing the win against Mertens. “I was definitely starstruck with Justin Bieber,” Gauff told the crowd. “Never Say Never was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid. And then Baby, Oh Baby… I could go through all his songs. And then Hailey coming too — I guess it was a little date night for them which is really cool.” Gauff added more on Instagram, sharing a picture of Bieber cheering with the caption “He was pumped, I love it.”

Gauff will face her hardest challenge in the next round. She will face former world #1 and two-time US Open finalist Caroline Wozniacki. However, after retiring in early 2022, Wozniacki announced her return to pro tennis in an essay published in Vogue. Wozniacki has made a stunning return to the pro scene, including taking down world #11 Petra Kvitová in the second round. Wozniacki vs. Gauff is scheduled for September 3.

“Thank you daddy, I know you’re watching. Thanks mom,” Williams said. “Everyone that’s here, that’s been on my side, for so many years, decades…These are happy tears, I guess. I don’t know.

No, That Wasn’t Beyoncé Cheering On Serena Williams At The US Open — It Was Laverne Cox

The US Open is always a big deal for tennis fans as the final Grand Slam tournament of the year, but this year, it’s extra special, as it is superstar Serena Williams’ final tournament before she retires at the age of 40. On Monday, she played her first match of the tournament against Danka Kovinić with a surfeit of celebrity supporters such as Anthony Anderson, Mike Tyson, Queen Latifah, and Spike Lee in attendance. One who was not, though, is Beyoncé… but that didn’t stop some commentators on television and Twitter from believing she was.

As it turned out, the reason for the confusion was actress Laverne Cox, who multiple broadcasts confused for the Renaissance singer. To be fair, Cox was — who actually previously worked with Beyoncé — wearing a mask and has been known to wear similarly-colored tresses to Queen Bey. That didn’t stop those who could tell the difference from correcting those who couldn’t in the most hilarious ways.

Although Beyoncé wasn’t in attendance in person, she was in spirit, as the US Open broadcast of the match opened with a tribute video to Serena featuring Beyoncé’s song “I Was Here.” Beyoncé also recently narrated a Gatorade ad detailing Williams’ accomplishments on and off the court. The singer previously contributed the song “Be Alive” to the biopic about Williams’ father, King Richard, performing the song from the Compton tennis courts where Williams got her start to open the 2022 Oscars.

Cox, meanwhile, enjoyed the attention, posting a compilation of the mistaken identity tweets on Instagram with the caption “not me getting mistaken for @Beyonce at the #USOpen tonight then trending on Twitter as the internet cackles over the mistaken identity. These tweets are funny as hell. Enjoy!!!”

Serena Williams plays her second match tomorrow (August 31) at 7 pm ET / 4 pm PT against Anett Kontaveit.

Serena Williams Wows U.S. Open In A Custom Diamond-Encrusted Dress

by
Serena Williams 2

From beads to skin-tight dresses Serena Williams has been making fashion statements on the court throughout her legendary career.  And last night she didn’t disappoint debuting an instantly iconic outfit during last night’s U.S. Open. The 23-time Grand Slam winner said farewell and bid the tennis world a heartfelt adieu in high fashion and in true Serena style.   Serena, who defeated her opponent Danka Kovinic in the first match and what is expected to be her final professional tennis tournament, began her “evolution” (Serena refuses to call it retirement)  wearing NikeCourt Flare 2 sneakers that included a diamond-encrusted swoosh, solid gold shoelace tags and 400 hand-set diamonds—and that’s just on Serena’s sneakers. 

The outfit also included a removable cape and a matching jacket with star-shaped embellishments. The matching mommy and me Nike dress-her daughter Olympia was wearing the same replica, had diamonds and crystals embedded on the outside with a matching jacket and a tote bag.  

The figure skating-inspired Nike dress that she designed also in collaboration with her ‘Serena Williams Jewelry’ company was constructed of a six-layer skirt to commemorate her six singles at the U.S. Open throughout her career, only playing with two of the layers stating that wearing all the layers would have been “too heavy to play in” as she told Gayle King in an interview after the match. “For her latest outfit for Flushing, Serena took control, providing the full vision and dialing the details for a thrilling design created to make her feel comfortable and confident,”  Nike said in a statement.  According to Nike, Serena’s diamond-encrusted bodice  “refracts light and shines bright, alluding to the night sky at the tournament.
