NBA Draft nights are always packed with emotion, fashion statements, and camera close-ups.
But sometimes, it’s not the draft pick who grabs all the attention—it’s someone sitting right next to them.
And that’s exactly what happened during the 2025 NBA Draft when the Toronto Raptors selected Collin Murray-Boyles ninth overall.
All Eyes on Chloe at the Draft Table
As the cameras zoomed in on Murray-Boyles’ table after his name was called, fans got a glimpse of not just his emotional moment with family—but also the eye-catching presence of his girlfriend, Chloe Kitts.
While he embraced loved ones and soaked in the moment, many on social media were already asking: Wait, who’s that next to him?
Turns out, Chloe isn’t just anyone. She’s a rising star in her own right, both on and off the court.
Chloe Kitts: More Than Just the Girlfriend
Chloe Kitts is not only a standout on social media—boasting over 250,000 followers on Instagram—but she’s also a top player for the University of South Carolina women’s basketball team.
In contrast, Murray-Boyles has around 24,000 followers, showing who the bigger name is in the online world—for now.
And it’s not just about followers. Kitts already has a national championship under her belt.
Back in 2024, she played a huge role in South Carolina’s title win, posting a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds in just 17 minutes during their win over Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes.
A Rollercoaster Season for Kitts
Fast forward to the 2025 season, and the Gamecocks made another run at the title, hoping to go back-to-back.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. They ran into a red-hot UConn squad led by Paige Bueckers and were handed a tough 82–59 loss in the championship game.
Kitts saw more minutes on the floor but couldn’t replicate her previous breakout performance, finishing the game with nine points and six assists.
Even so, she still has one year left before becoming eligible for the WNBA Draft—so there’s plenty of time to bounce back.
Murray-Boyles Ready to Make His Mark in the NBA
While Chloe made waves in the stands, her boyfriend Collin was making moves on the court.
The 6-foot-7 forward averaged an impressive 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game this past season.
His stellar play earned him Second-Team All-SEC honors and continued a strong college run that began with an SEC All-Freshman Team nod.
Now, he’s headed to the NBA, ready to bring his skillset to a Toronto Raptors squad that’s looking to rebuild and reenergize.
Power Couple in the Making?
With both Collin and Chloe thriving in their respective paths—one entering the NBA and the other potentially bound for the WNBA—it’s safe to say this couple is becoming one to watch.
Whether on the hardwood or trending on social media, they’re both building names that stretch far beyond just their college success.
