Kendall Jenner was full of pride as she celebrated boyfriend Devin Booker’s win at the Tokyo Olympics.
The Phoenix Suns player was part of the USA Men’s basketball team at this year’s tournament, taking place in Japan.
They took on France in the final, at the Saitama Super Arena, and ended up victorious on the night, taking home the gold after a tense game.
Devin was on the court for 22 minutes and scored two free throws in that time, helping Team USA to glory alongside captain Kevin Durant.
Due to strict coronavirus restrictions, Kendall was unable to watch in the stands, and instead took in the game from the comfort of her home.
Taking to her Instagram story, she shared a snap of her beau on her TV following the match, complete with a gold medal emoji.

Devin isn’t the only Olympic gold medal winner that Kendall holds close to her heart, as dad Caitlyn Jenner famously won gold the 1976 Summer Olympics, competing in the men’s decathlon before her transition.
The model recently opened up about her relationship with the newly-crowned Olympic champion, explaining why she had chosen to keep the details behind closed doors.
Little else is known about the couple, who recently celebrated their one-year anniversary, and that is exactly the way she likes to keep it.

‘I feel like it’s always worked better for me that way,’ she said, stating that she decided this having seen her famous siblings go through public break-ups.
‘No offence to my older sisters at all, but I think that Kylie [Jenner] and I specifically have had the opportunity to watch our older sisters go through marriages and relationships and break-ups and do them pretty publicly.
‘It was personal preference from a really young age.
‘I think it makes my life a lot easier and our relationship a lot better, to be honest … I just feel like it’s a private matter and not for anybody else to judge or know.’
