They’re high school sweethearts.
But it doesn’t look like time has dulled the romance between Ansel Elgort and his girlfriend Violetta Komyshan.
The 23-year-old and his number-one held hands and shared a kiss on Monday while sitting courtside at a New York Knicks game in NYC’s Madison Square Garden.

That night, the Houston Rockets beat the Knicks 117-95, but Manhattan-born Ansel was the picture of city pride.
The Baby Driver star wore a T-shirt with ‘Blueshirts’ – a nickname for the Rangers, New York’s ice hockey team – written across the front.
He tucked a tight pair of faded jeans into his high-top Nike sneakers.
Meanwhile, Violetta modeled a sheer off-white dress with full sleeves. She clashed the outfit elegantly against a pair of gleaming black boots.

The couple, who rekindled their romance early in 2015 after a brief break, were photographed leaning into each other and chatting during the game.
In a 2015 interview with Elle, Ansel said of the performing arts high school where he met Violetta: ‘LaGuardia is a wonderful, wonderful place. If you’re like me and you love dancers, you just have to walk up to the eighth floor and you can get one.’
He clarified that what he meant by that is ‘you can just go up there and try to flirt. I like strong women. Physical women. My dad photographed a lot of beautiful dancers. My mom was a dancer.

‘I love when a girl is like: “I can’t hang out. I have to go to class.” And I go pick her up and she’s all sweaty in a leotard with her hair in a bun. That’s the hottest thing ever.’
He also said he doesn’t like being a playboy. ‘I prefer being with a girlfriend longterm. I prefer to be with someone I can trust. I’m more into that.’
He said: ‘If you like someone and the sex is really good and you enjoy spending time together, why wouldn’t you make that person your girlfriend? Why go around dating random girls and having terrible sex when you can be with someone you really like?’
