You'd feel like a boss, and that's how his friends saw him - including his sister, who took to Twitter to share the news.
Hilariously, she wrote: "TELL ME WHY MY BROTHER TOOK KYLIE JENNER TO PROM 2NIGHT."
I mean will that sentence ever be used again? Probably not.
Footage of the pair walking arm-in-arm went viral, along with pictures of the two getting ready as Jenner put his brooch on him which matched her outfit, and the two dancing.
As surprising as it is, Jenner has previously spoken about wanting to go to a dance in the past.
Speaking to Google+ way back in 2014, the billionaire said: "I plan on making one of my friends take me to prom. I feel like I need to go to one. I want to go to one of them."
But these high schoolers didn't know she missed out.
The tale got even funnier as the girl who rejected Ochoa did so for an honest reason, which her sister explained on Twitter: "Kylie Jenner for reals went to rio prom tonight with the guy my sister turned down."
She added that it wasn't that her sister didn't like Albert, but 'she turned him down bc it was her friend's older brother but STILL'.
That was back in 2017, and both Jenner and Ochoa are doing well for themselves it would seem.
Jenner is now a billionaire cosmetics mogul and her prom sweetheart isn't doing too bad himself, having garnered over 230,000 followers on Instagram and becoming a boxer.
Speaking to Essentially Sports before one of his fights last year, he recalled the message between Jenner and himself which lead to them meeting.
He said: “Believe me or not she hit me up. I asked her, and she was like 'hey you really cute' that’s what she messaged.
"She’s like hey you are really cute. It went down in DM. It was very cool so she flew down from LA to Sacramento, and from there I gained a big following.
"You know it’s on Hulu right now. It’s on a Peacock. Now I transfer to boxing over the past year.”
So there you have it, shoot your shot, guys.
