Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet were among the many famous faces at the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While the heated match played on, leaving viewers at the edge of their seats, the lovebirds were in a world of their own, unable to get their hands off each other.
However, the romantic display didn't sit well with fans who thought it was inappropriate, given the major loss Jenner's family recently suffered with the death of their grandmother.
Although soccer powerhouse Messi was on the field, with the likes of President Donald Trump, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Tom Cruise present at the MetLife Stadium, Jenner and Chalamet stole all the attention.
The couple was caught engaging in a steamy PDA session while in the VIP section, making a date night out of the sports event. A viral clip from the match saw them stopping to share a sweet kiss as they chatted playfully throughout.

A 63-year-old Bronx man was arrested and charged with second-degree criminal mischief and third-degree criminal trespass for the incident.
A 63-year-old Bronx man was arrested after police say he drove a Subaru through the closed security gates at Beyoncé and Jay-Z's East Hampton home, severely damaging the entrance.
The East Hampton Star reported that the crash happened on Wednesday afternoon at the couple's property in the Georgica neighborhood. Investigators have not determined whether the man was targeting the house or its famous owners, and police said they found no weapons or a note explaining his actions.
A security guard told officers the vehicle traveled up the driveway at a high rate of speed and failed to stop at the closed mechanical gates. After the impact, the driver remained inside the damaged car until the property's security team instructed him to get out. He complied and was restrained before village police arrived.
"He wasn't making threats. He seemed confused," Detective Sgt. Jennifer Dunn said.

Blue Ivy has spent much of her life making history, but her next ambition could be her biggest yet.
After winning awards, starring alongside Beyoncé, and building an entertainment résumé before even finishing school, the teenager is now reportedly setting her sights on filmmaking.
While her famous parents are fully supportive, insiders say they're also keeping a careful eye on how she enters Hollywood, determined to ensure she develops her own creative voice instead of simply relying on the Carter family name.
Blue Ivy's Hollywood ambitions are said to be shifting beyond music and acting, with insiders claiming the 14-year-old is eager to develop films centered on young girls navigating everyday life.
After voicing Princess Kiara in "Mufasa: The Lion King" in 2023, the young star reportedly became even more inspired to tell stories of her own.

Princess Lilibet's latest outfit is winning hearts for more than one reason. The five-year-old daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appeared in a sweet new photograph shared on Instagram by her mother, and eagle-eyed royal fans quickly noticed the meaningful detail hidden in her casual look.
In the candid image, Lilibet wore a cream-coloured T-shirt featuring a hand-drawn portrait of Beyoncé, complete with the words "B is for Beyoncé" across the front.
The charming top, which retails for $48, is sold by the Women's History Project and was designed by a mother-and-daughter team in the United States.
According to the brand, the portrait was illustrated by a then 10-year-old girl named Pearl, who created the artwork inspired by her family's love of art and music.
The sustainable design is made from a blend of polyester, organic cotton and rayon, with fibres created from recycled plastic bottles.
