EXCLUSIVE: Inside NY Knick Tyson Chandler & Wife Kimberly's 2012 Met Ball Prep!

NY Knicks baller Tyson Chandler (and his wife of 7 years) is the only sports figure who landed on VOGUE's Best Dressed list for the 2012 Met Ball--which celebrated the new exhibit “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations”--that went down Monday night.  And we've got the exclusive pics of the handsome Mr. Chandler getting dressed with his fab wife Kimberly (and daughter Sascha) before the big Ball.  Check 'em inside...

Well here's a fresh and fab couple we don't see everyday on YBF.  If you've ever wondered what it looks like when celebs are getting ready for a huge night out (we know we have), here's an exclusive peek at 29-year-old baller Tyson Chandler and his wife Kimberly having some fun Monday evening.

The cutesy couple fixed each other's clothes in their hotel suite, played around with their 6 year old daughter Sascha, and stepped out looking fabulous:

Tyson was dressed in a custom blue Waraire Boswell suit.  While his wife, Kimberly, donned a look that Ms. Anna Wintour herself chose for her--a red Valentino rosette detailed strapless jumper.  And a cute pair of bow detailed black slingback Louboutins.

How cute is this little one!

The couples' fashion choices landed both of them--separately--on VOGUE's Best Dressed List.

By the way, Tyson copped the NBA's 2012 Defensive Player of The Year award.  And he donated the Khia SUV he won to Russell Simmons' foundation Art For Life--which benefits Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation that provides inner-city students with visual arts education programs, and gives emerging artists exhibition opportunities.

Congrats to him!

Lmao, people that are saying

Lmao, people that are saying black men don't celebrate black love is not black or jealous. Also, black man-white wife,white people have the highest divorce rate. Black people are the only race that have the longest lasting marriages. I love black women and whoever says its not real is lying to themselves to make themself feel better. Why come to a black blog and critique comments. We may have the lowest marriage rate as a race but we last the longest, can you say the same about any other race? Jealousy is a sickness and I feel sorry for you trolls that constantly try to tell black women black men don't want them or there is no black love. There is no love in the white community and look at the high number of white teen parents dropping their kids in foster homes, white girls have the highest number of sexual partners but I bet you didn't know black women receive graduate degrees at the highest rate of any race male/female second to asians.

The pictures are lovely.

The pictures are lovely. Handsome husband, gorgeous wife and beautiful daughter. I love and appreciate most of our black men. My current boyfriend is black. Most of my boyfriends have been black. I dated a very nice white guy one time. But what I think gets overlooked how many black women date/marry outside our race. For example, look at Serena Williams dating the director Brett Ratner. I was watching her reality tv show one time, and he was literally all over her. Serena was pushing him off. He seemed literally crazy about her. She was playing, but it was quite funny. I really want to marry a black man because of how much a good example my own father set when it came to black men. But I won't limit myself. I want the person that genuinely loves me and treats me right. He could be white or he could Asian. Although I hope my current boyfriend will turn out to be my Prince Charming. So far, he's doing a good job.

I hope he turns out to be the one girl! And I agree, it's kind of natural to want to marry a black man because that's what we grew up seeing. But as I went to college and became more exposed to different kinds of men I found myself being attracted to guys outside of my race (inside too). So I'm going to just do what I feel and hopefully God will lead me to my Prince Charming as well.

I've a question about

I've a question about Adrienne Bosh some people say she's Hispanic and some say that she's biracial. But as somebody said, a lot of Hispanics are black and/or mixed with black. Definitely part of the African Diaspora whether some admit it or not.
Anonymous's picture

A large portion of

A large portion of African-Americans have several ethnicities in them from the mere fact of multi-generational miscegnation. I can't think of the Harvard professor's name. The one that got harrassed by the police at his own home. He took a genetic test this white scientist came up with. Although the Harvard professor has 2 black parents. It was found out that he's basically 50% black and 50% white. The white scientist had about 12% African ancestry. As President Obama said when he calls himself black, he said most African-Americans have mixed ancestry. He said that most whites do, too, they just don't know about it. But yeah, that African Diaspora is all over the world.
Anonymous's picture

I should add that even in the

I should add that even in the homeland of Africa because of colonialism many of black people over there have mixed ancestry. But as quiet as it's kept, many Europeans got black ancestry too. Those Moors conquered Spain and Sicily for a few hundred years. The Medici family that ruled Italy had black members of their family. Queen Charlotte of England was part black as well. We got to just learn the history for real.

People need to stop being

People need to stop being fooled by the media. Most of the black athletes have black wives and girlfriends. But tv, websites, etc. try to go out their way to highlight the ones that date non-black women. Some people got a vested interest in us looking like we're not united with one another.

They're a very beautiful family. I love her outfit. It's different to not wear a dress to the Met Gala. I do think they've a little boy also. Not 100 % certain. I know someone asked why they only 1 child. Do people realize that everybody doesn't want 10 kids, even if they can afford to.

There's a video on youtube

There's a video on youtube that shows a day in the life of Tyson Chandler and he and his wife definitely have a son that's younger than the daughter. And even if they only had one kid, you're absolutely right, not everyone wants a huge family. Hec when I get married I will guarantee my husband a max of 2 kids. But that's just me.

My thoughts: 1. What a beautiful man. 2. His wife would have looked more fab in a dress. Right now, she looks as if she is just going out for dinner or to the movies, Valentino or not. 3. Glad that he shaved his facial hair a bit for the MET gala. 4. The pics are staged but cute nonetheless 5. They should have stayed under the radar because now that they have exposed their love, some thirsty bitches will try to stop that. 6. Why do they only have one kid? are they having trouble having more? It is not like money is an issue or homegirl is busy working on much of anything. Fertility issues? 7. I see the pics were strategically taken in a way as not to reveal too much of the background. 8. This is truly a beautiful couple with a man who knows how to dress peoperly. None of the thuggish looks. 9. His wife seems somewhat tall but so short next to him. 10. They never touched each other once in all of the pics.

How about they are just

How about they are just pretty normal??? By choice, my husband and I were married over 5 years before I got pregnant, then waited almost 8 years before we had our second one so we could let her have HER time. To top it off, we then had our baby boy almost 5 years after that! Our plan - to never have 2 in college simultaneously, enjoy life, and give each one more time to be the baby.

The commenter is prob black, the couple is black, this blog is the YOUNG BLACK AND FAB....why is this a big issue. We are only speaking on what we identify with. We are not saying anything more....and when my ex and i used to show affection to each other...he would jokingly say "Black Love" and i would smile....Yall just like to be deep and generalize people for no damn reason. Instead of trying to analyze everyone else just focus on you.

What is the problem??? I, for one, LOVE to see BLACK love vs. any other!
Anonymous's picture

Anonymous 3:39 pm I find it

Anonymous 3:39 pm I find it very interesting that people like you don't see the problem with terms like "BLACK LOVE". You can celebrate any couple you want but when you use terms like BLACK LOVE you look a little foolish. LOVE is LOVE. Love is not limited by COLOR. And It's just a shame that you can't see the contradiction of such a comment. When you say things like "BLACK LOVE" you alienate others. So are you saying that if a Black Man marries outside of his race you can be happy for him? Does that black man cease to be Black in your eyes? Are you implying that if a Black Women dates outside of her race you can't be happy for her? Why are you limiting love to racial categories? And by ONLY celebrating same race couples are you aware what messages your sending to the children who are born from LOVE between two people? I think this is very narrow thinking and it's the same garbage perpetuated in how you define what "Blackness" is. So because Kim has short hair she is MORE black that a woman who has straight long hair who is also black? Is Blackness defined by how DARK a persons skin is? I just don't think you're aware of the negativity you're spreading when you say these things. I think Tyson Chandler and his WIFE look great together because they are loving to each other. But I also think Chris Bosh and his wife also look great together. Why are you attacking people for loving the people they love? I think African Americans should be more permissive of other choices people make if it's made in LOVE. I also never hear people say such stupid things as "WHITE LOVE" or "HISPANIC LOVE." And maybe if "Black Love" were more real outside of these few celebrity couples you celebrate on blogs was the actual reality of the black experience it would make more sense but that is simply not reality. Black women seen to have historic issues with Black men and that affects the condition of the black family. These same narrow views allow people to attack Charlize Theron for opening her LOVE to an African Americans child because YOU don't think she can convey "blackness" to Jackson? It's not COLOR you should be fixated on but LOVE and good relationships, TRUE LOVE. Having pride is great but being a BIGOT is being a BIGOT.

I see it as this furious

I see it as this furious styles - not speaking for anyone else - but I praise and use the term "black love" because I see it as the survival of our race. Yes it is OK to date outside of your race - I have plenty of times - but I would hate for my grandchildren to be born into a world where the black race is an endangered one because of all the mixed breeding. Black love is good because that means more black children will be born into this world - a world that has fought along time to remove us. Did you know Tigers are about to me extinct too? Can you imagine such a beautiful creature not being apart of this planet anymore? That would be a great loss. A world without Tigers is stupid. I feel the same way about black people. No other race uses this same term with their race because no other race in America has been through as much shit as blacks. If you cannot understand that then you do not understand what it is like to be black. I have never experienced racism but I see it. I see it on blogs, I see it on Youtube, I even see it on the Rants and Raves section of craigslist. I rarely see it towards whites, or hispanics, or Asians. Black love is good because there is a constant target on our back, and it is always good to see us sticking together. I don't care how far we have come. At the end of the day it will always be US against them and we need more soldiers to fight the good fight when ish goes down. I am sure it will happen one day.

@ I<3BlackLove so African

@ I<3BlackLove so African Americans are now endangered like Tigers? People who are mixed are not in your eyes Black? Do I have this right? Tyson Chandler is very light skinned. So by that logic this is really not about "Black Love" at all now is it?. Did you know that Hitler also felt this SAME EXACT way when he looked at race and then felt it was appropriate to use Genocide to racially celanese? I think you really Believe in what YOU just typed but it's inherently flawed thinking. I think maybe I am getting too deep (as someone suggested) with this because the more some people speak on it the more disappointed I become. I totally understand why some black women feel under attack because some black men make other choices when they get successful. So for a Blog it makes sense that people feel that way. But I also remember seeing this cover of Essence Magazine with Diddy and Kim Porter on the cover with the Cover line "BLACK LOVE". It was a complete JOKE. I also feel the same when this phrase is applied selectively on BLOGS. I do understand the happiness some women feel when they see Savannah and Lebron but I just wonder if these same women are aware of the HATE they spew when they see Chris Bosh and Adrienne? I also think this may be a generational thing. I'm only 19 and I grew up with kids of all races and I'm very open to others. I hope one day you will also become more open to love (even if it's being happy for other who are dating outside of their race). I don't see African American as endangered in that sense. But I do see Black relationships being endangered. Meaning the relationships between black men and black women who do date each other but don't express the LOVE you keep saying they have for one another. Black women with Black children by Black men are raising those Black children ALONE. Which leads to Black males filling jails (more than any other race). Which leads to Black women not being married to anyone in the largest numbers within their own race. When you can give me responses for those realities I'm ready to hear them. But I think practicing Black Love is far more important than talking about "Black Love."

I am 23 years old and grew up

I am 23 years old and grew up in NYC so I too have grown up in a very diverse environment. I have never thrown shade or hate at interracial relationships. As stated before I too have been in interracial relationships. What I am saying is it would be a sad world if there were no black people left in the world due to mixed breeding. In example, if a black person had a child with a non-black person then that child had a child with a non-black person and the same from there then yes at some point the lineage would become mostly non-black leading to extinction of the black bloodline in that family. Look at John F. Kennedy. Not everyone knows that one of his ancestors was a black slave. That would make him black then right? No. Not in America. Because even though that one person was black all the rest of his family are white so that makes him white and now no one even acknowledges his black lineage. I and Hitler do not share the same views because I do not want there to be only one race. A world with only one race would be stupid too. As far as those "realities", I cannot respond to them because I have not lived them. My black parents have been together for 40 plus years. My black grandparents for 60. It is sad the outcome of some black families. But mine is not one of those.

@ I<3BlackLove 5:38 pm You

@ I<3BlackLove 5:38 pm You should look into the realities because this is much bigger than you. I totally get your reasons but I'm speaking about the stats and the reality of "BLACK LOVE". These are the reasons I object to this silly paper thin label. Because the reality of "BLACK LOVE" is quite different from how people romanticized it. I also don't have any children and my parents and grand parents are all married on both sides and my friends mostly come from married home (I count the divorced ones because they re-married). So I'm speaking much broader. I think if people knew the reality more they would not use those terms. And you're 100% right about society and how we judge people based on how least they look Black. That is an issue and you're right these dating trends have real consequences. I think we're in the same page. I also don't see you getting mad because Charlize adopted a black baby. But girl...some women on here. They get MAD when they see Chris Bosh and his wife. They get MAD when Charlize adopted that little black baby. Those people need to stop and get real.

I don't understand why they

I don't understand why they would. There seems to be a serious problem with how black is defined. I consider black more than one type of race. History shows that "black" is truly a plethora of races. Why people would get mad over Chris Bosh and Adrienne is insane. Most Hispanics have a lot of black ancestry. I consider Andrienne black too.
