The appearance comes just months after Flagg and Robertson confirmed their relationship on social media following weeks of speculation.

Flagg attended the gala as one of the athletes honored on TIME’s inaugural TIME100 Sports list. The event celebrated some of the most influential figures across the sports world, including LeBron James, Jalen Brunson, Alex Morgan and Myles Garrett.
The Mavericks rookie has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the past year.
After starring at Duke, Dallas selected him with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He followed that by earning NBA Rookie of the Year honors after an outstanding first professional season.
Robertson is also an accomplished basketball player. She plays for Duke’s women’s basketball program, where she has built a standout collegiate career.
While Flagg’s play on the court continues to generate headlines, fans also clearly enjoy seeing his life away from basketball.
