South Carolina’s basketball power couple made their mark in New York!
Men’s basketball star Collin Murray-Boyles received an invitation to attend the 2025 NBA Draft live at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on June 25. “His girlfriend, Chloe Kitts — a standout on Dawn Staley’s South Carolina women’s basketball team — was right by his side.”
The 20-year-old Murray-Boyles spent the last two seasons playing under coach Lamont Paris. “He was drafted 9th overall by the Toronto Raptors — a milestone that makes him the second-highest pick ever from South Carolina men’s basketball.”
As soon as his name was called, Kitts hugged him and cheered, later seen proudly wearing a Raptors cap on TV.
Kitts and Murray-Boyles first met at the University of South Carolina and have been dating since 2023. The couple was first seen together on the red carpet at the Gamecock Gala on April 22, 2024, shortly after the women’s team won the national championship. Murray-Boyles also attended the event.
In addition to Kitts, Murray-Boyles was supported at the NBA Draft by South Carolina women’s basketball assistant coach Khadijah Sessions, along with other close friends and family who traveled to Brooklyn to celebrate the big moment.
