Megan Thee Stallion has confirmed her latest relationship, and this time it’s with Klay Thompson, the four-time NBA champion who now plays for the Dallas Mavericks. After fans caught early signs of the romance in a vacation photo, the pair made things official with a red carpet appearance that left no room for doubt.
The couple debuted their relationship at Megan’s Inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City on July 16, walking the carpet together in matching black and white looks. The evening wasn’t just about fashion or headlines – the gala was created to support underserved communities, women, children, and seniors through the foundation Megan launched in memory of her late parents.

Speaking to PEOPLE during the event, Megan couldn’t hide her admiration for her new partner.
“He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life,” she said, beaming.
How it started: Instagram clues and soft launches
Before stepping out in public, Megan and Thompson had already sparked rumors. On July 9, fans noticed a familiar face lounging poolside in the background of one of Megan‘s vacation posts. She shared a bikini photo by the water, and eagle-eyed followers quickly pointed out that Thompson was clearly visible in the frame.
The comments section exploded with speculation, but Megan stayed quiet – for a few days, at least.
It wasn’t long before Thompson himself confirmed what everyone already suspected. On July 12, he posted a romantic photo to Instagram showing the couple in a tender moment, with Megan looking up at him as he reached for her arms. The caption? “Sweet Bells son ” – a cryptic but unmistakably affectionate message.
Three days later, they made it official on the red carpet, smiling for photographers and appearing completely at ease together.
Megan calls it “like a movie”
While Megan has chosen to keep the details of how they met under wraps, she did offer a hint about the nature of their first meeting.
“Oh, we met and it was such a meet cute it was like a f—— movie,” she told PEOPLE. “I won’t tell you how and I won’t tell you when, but it was a movie.”
It’s not the first time Megan‘s love life has made headlines. Over the last few years, she’s been linked to Belgian footballer Romelu Lukaku, rapper Pardison Fontaine, and most recently NBA player Torrey Craig, after the two posted a TikTok together in 2024.
Still, the connection with Thompson seems different. Both stars have taken deliberate steps to go public with their relationship – not through tabloid leaks, but with coordinated posts and appearances that show mutual respect and joy.
Megan’s legacy continues with purpose
Beyond the romance, Megan used her gala to honor her family’s legacy. Speaking about her late mother, father, and great-grandmother, the Texas native became emotional when reflecting on their influence.
“I feel like they can see what I’m doing right now… I feel like they’re like, ‘Yes, daughter!'” she said. “I feel like my momma’s so happy. I feel like she is clapping.”
“I feel like my daddy is like, ‘This is exactly what I knew my child was gonna do.’ I feel like they’re super proud.”
While the headlines may focus on her new relationship, Megan‘s growing presence as a philanthropist and cultural force makes one thing clear – she’s not just building a love story, she’s building a legacy.
