Each gamete (or egg/sperm cell) has 23 chromosomes. So both egg & sperm cells have 23 chromosomes, however because gametes undergo meiosis the chromosomes are haploids so they don't look like X's. So they are not actually in pairs, as just eggs & sperm. They pair up once an egg is fertilized.

All human gametes (sex cells), which means egg cells and sperm cells, have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilises the egg, the 23 chromosomes from the egg cell and the 23 chromosomes from the sperm cell join to make cells with 46 chromosomes. In summary, all cells in the human body have 46 chromosomes, except sperm cells and egg cells, which have 23.
