In a move that has set social media abuzz, NBA star Klay Thompson and rapper Megan Thee Stallion have officially confirmed their relationship, ending months of speculation. The Dallas Mavericks forward, 35, took to Instagram on Saturday, July 12, 2025, sharing a series of vacation photos from the Bahamas that included intimate glimpses of the Grammy-winning rapper, whose real name is Megan Pete.
Their romance first sparked rumors earlier that week when keen-eyed fans spotted Thompson relaxing in the background of Megan's poolside snaps. The rapper had posted photos of herself by the pool, with Thompson subtly visible on a sun lounger behind her, igniting curiosity about their connection. The NBA star’s Instagram post later that weekend left little doubt: among the carousel of images was a shot of Thompson locking lips with a woman sporting Megan's signature hairstyle and baby pink nails — the same color Megan recently flaunted in her own posts. Another photo showed the couple holding hands, further confirming their relationship to the public.
This official "hard launch" on social media marks a significant milestone for the couple, who have been quietly linked for some time. Megan Thee Stallion, 30, has a history of high-profile relationships, including with Chicago Bulls player Torrey Craig, which reportedly ended in April 2025. Before Craig, Megan was romantically linked to rappers Tory Lanez, Moneybagg Yo, and songwriter Pardison Fontaine. Her relationship with Craig was publicly confirmed in August 2024 after she accidentally shared a TikTok video featuring the couple engaging in a playful challenge.
Klay Thompson, meanwhile, recently completed his debut season with the Dallas Mavericks after a storied 13-year tenure with the Golden State Warriors. The four-time NBA champion signed a three-year, $50 million contract with Dallas in 2024 through a complex six-team sign-and-trade deal. In his first year with the Mavericks, Thompson appeared in 72 games, averaging 14 points, 3.4 rebounds, and two assists per game.
Prior to Megan, Thompson was linked to several notable figures, including actress and singer Coco Jones from 2021 to 2023, as well as actresses Laura Harrier and Eiza González. His father, former NBA player Mychal Thompson, recently revealed on the show "Mason & Ireland" that he was unaware of Megan Thee Stallion prior to the relationship becoming public, responding with a candid "Who’s that?" when the topic was raised.
The Bahamas vacation photos that Thompson shared not only confirmed the relationship but also provided fans with a glimpse into their private moments. Though Megan’s face was not always visible in the snaps, her distinctive hairstyle and manicured nails left no doubt. The couple was seen sharing affectionate moments, including a kiss and hand-holding, painting a picture of a blossoming romance.
Social media users have quickly embraced the new couple, playfully dubbing them "Megan Thee Thompson." Their relationship has become a hot topic, blending the worlds of professional basketball and hip-hop in a high-profile union that captures public imagination.
For Megan Thee Stallion, this relationship represents a fresh chapter following her previous high-profile romance with Torrey Craig. Megan’s career continues to soar, with recent announcements including her new anime project at DreamCon and ongoing advocacy for representation in hip-hop, highlighting her influence beyond music.
Meanwhile, Thompson’s move to Dallas and his performance with the Mavericks signal a new phase in his basketball career. The shift from the Golden State Warriors, where he won four championships, to the Mavericks has been closely watched by fans and analysts alike. His off-court relationship with Megan adds another layer of interest to his evolving public profile.
As the couple enjoys their time together, fans eagerly await more glimpses into their life, both on social media and in the public eye. Their union not only connects two stars at the top of their respective fields but also reflects the increasingly intertwined nature of sports and entertainment.
With their relationship now out in the open, Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson appear poised to navigate this new chapter together, blending their talents, passions, and public personas in a way that captivates audiences worldwide.
