Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and Jay Mohr kiss as they are seen for first time since engagement

Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and fiancé Jay Mohr sweetly kissed on Monday at a home game after publicly announcing their engagement last month.

The 61-year-old controlling owner of the Lakers and comedian Jay, 52, were sitting courtside in leather jackets as they shared a smooch before the game between the Lakers and Houston Rockets at Crypto.com arena.

Jeanie had her blonde hair down below her shoulders as she leaned in, while Jay sported a white fedora hat with a checkered band for the game played on the Martin Luther King Jr Day holiday.

Jay also posed with basketball coach and broadcaster Dave Miller and actor Vince Vaughn, 52, at the game.

Dave in a post on Twitter said of their group photo: 'Did you hear the one about the coach, the movie star, and the comedian/actor that walked into a bar… Vince is a great friend and Jay and i first met like 21 years ago on the Best Damn Sports Show Period…#goodtimes #lakers #lakeshow.'

Jeanie inherited the Lakers from her late father Dr. Jerry Buss and previously was engaged to former Lakers head coach Phil Jackson, 77.

Former Saturday Night Live cast member Jay was married to actress Nikki Cox, 44, from 2006 to 2018.

The holiday game also was attended by actresses Caitlin O'Connor and Kathryn Le who were spotted sitting courtside.

Caitlin, 32, had her blonde hair up in a small bun and showed her fit figure in a light blue crop top and black trousers.

She completed her ensemble with shiny black heels and accessorized with earrings and bracelets.

Corey Gamble, 42, also attended the game all dressed up in a satin copper suit. 

LeBron James, 38, scored a season-high 48 points as the Lakers snapped a three-game losing streak with a 140-132 win over the Rockets.

He added nine assists and eight rebounds in his third 40-point performance since turning 38 less than three weeks ago.

LeBron scored 40 points for the 72nd time in the regular season during his 20-year career. Only Michael Jordan has more 40-point games in NBA history after turning 35 — Jordan had 12, and James has eight.

Former UCLA star Russell Westbrook, 34, also scored 24 points for the Lakers.

Kendrick Nunn, 27, chipped in 15 points for the Lakers, who have won six of nine overall despite a thin roster due to injuries.

LeBron before the MLK Day game warmed up in a black T-shirt with white print that read, 'NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE JUSTICE A REALITY FOR ALL'.
