Kitts and Murray-Boyles made their relationship public in April 2024. The two are regarded as a powerhouse couple in South Carolina college basketball due to their contributions to the program's success.

Kitts played an instrumental role in helping the Gamecocks win the national championship in 2024. Last season, she helped South Carolina retain its SEC Tournament title and reach the national championship for the second year in a row.

Murray-Boyles is an important member of the men's South Carolina basketball team. In 2024, he earned the SEC All-Freshman Team after helping the Gamecocks return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2017.

Kitts and Murray-Boyles always celebrate each other on social media, from participating in TikTok trends together to just hyping each other.

Chloe Kitts' BF Collin Murray-Boyles earns comparison with NBA legend

Collin Murray-Boyles is one of the projected top picks in the 2025 NBA draft. Murray-Boyles had an outstanding season with the Gamecocks, averaging 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks on 58.6% shooting. He is also the first Gamecocks player to average at least 16.0 ppg and 8.0 rpg in a season after Jimmy Foster in the 1983-84 season.

On Saturday, ESPN's Jeremy Woo compared the 6-foot-7 forward to Al Horford. Murray-Boyles is highly touted for his defensive prowess and abilities to make runs and create chances for others on the court, a trait that got him a side-by-side comparison to the Boston Celtics star.

"If his shot develops, Murray-Boyles could wind up in the vein of a modern Horford -- a versatile big who can be instrumental to winning as a defensive stalwart with complementary offensive utility," Woo wrote.

Murray-Boyles led the SEC in field-goal percentage and ranked 21st nationally last season. He is the only player in the Power Four conference to average at least 16.0 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 2.0 apg, 1.0 spg and 1.0 bpg on 50.0% shooting.
