In a surprising yet captivating twist to celebrity news this summer, NBA star Klay Thompson and rapper Megan Thee Stallion have officially made their relationship public, captivating fans and media alike. The couple, who first sparked dating rumors following a trip to the Bahamas earlier in July 2025, confirmed their romance with a series of social media posts that showcased their affection and mutual support.
Their relationship blossomed into the spotlight in mid-July, with Thompson sharing photos resembling Megan Thee Stallion on Instagram on July 12, 2025. Since then, the pair have been more open about their connection, culminating in a public appearance at the inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City on July 16. This event marked their first red carpet outing together, signaling a new chapter in their high-profile lives.
During an interview with PEOPLE at the gala, Megan Thee Stallion described their meeting as a "meet-cute… like a f—ing movie," expressing genuine admiration for Thompson by calling him "the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life." Thompson echoed these sentiments in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, praising Megan as "such a special person who inspires so many around the world." He added, "This is just another incredible feat of hers to be able to give back, create foundation, and raise a ton of money for those in need. And I’m honored to be here by her side." Their mutual respect and admiration seem to form a strong foundation for their relationship.
Beyond their romantic connection, the couple has been sharing glimpses of their life together, particularly their fitness routines. Megan Thee Stallion, known for her dedication to health and wellness, posted a video on social media on July 20, 2025, showing her working out with Thompson. The clip, which quickly went viral, features the rapper enthusiastically keeping pace with the Dallas Mavericks star’s intense training regimen. Megan shouted in the video, "I have been working out with my man! We went to the gym and we was doing these things that his trainer had put us through." Her excitement was palpable as she tackled exercises alongside Thompson.
Thompson, a five-time NBA All-Star, has been preparing rigorously for the 2025–26 season, and his recent viral feat of making 72 straight three-pointers during practice has fans buzzing about his form and readiness to return to the court. The workout video with Megan offered a rare peek into his offseason training, revealing not just his physical dedication but also a playful side as he admitted Megan was "better than me" at some exercises. Megan humorously recounted how Thompson might have been "plotting my downfall" during a particularly challenging set of Russian twists, adding charm to their dynamic.
Their shared workouts highlight a supportive partnership where both push each other to excel. Megan also got her turn to challenge Thompson by putting him through an ab workout that he described as "tough," saying, "This was the grinder right here. Put me through the wringer, baby." The workout involved bulge crunches with weights and an amusing twist of kissing the dumbbells under the leg, underscoring the couple’s fun approach to fitness.
Megan Thee Stallion’s commitment to health and wellness is well-documented. Since 2021, she has partnered with Nike as the "Hottie Coach," creating digital initiatives including workouts and coaching sessions. In 2024, she launched her "Hot Girl Systems" collection, featuring customizable athletic apparel and sneakers, further cementing her influence in the fitness and fashion spaces. This background makes her a natural fitness partner for Thompson, who benefits from her energy and dedication.
While celebrity relationships often face scrutiny and challenges, the couple’s openness and evident chemistry have won over many fans. Their relationship also adds an intriguing layer to the Dallas Mavericks’ prospects for the upcoming NBA season. After a disappointing 2024–25 campaign, the team looks like a real threat in 2025–26, and having Megan cheering from the sidelines could provide an emotional boost for Thompson and his teammates.
Their histories before meeting each other add context to this new romance. Thompson’s past relationships include social media influencer Hannah Stocking (2014–2015), Tiffany Suarez (2015), influencer Carleen Henry (2015), actress Laura Harrier (2018–2020), actress Eiza Gonzalez (2019), and singer Coco Jones (2021–2023). Megan’s previous relationships have included rapper Moneybagg Yo (2019), singer Trey Songz (2019), rapper Tory Lanez (brief entanglements), rapper Pardison Fontaine (2021–2022), soccer star Romelu Lukaku (2023), and basketball player Torrey Craig (2024–2025). Each has navigated their share of public attention and personal challenges, making their current partnership a fresh and hopeful chapter.
As Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion continue to share moments from their relationship and support each other’s careers and passions, they represent a blend of sports and music worlds that captivates fans across the spectrum. Their journey from subtle social media hints to public affirmation and shared workouts paints a picture of a couple embracing both the joys and challenges of love under the spotlight.
With the 2025–26 NBA season on the horizon, all eyes will be on Thompson’s performance and Megan’s continued rise as a cultural and fitness icon. Their partnership, marked by mutual respect, playful competitiveness, and genuine affection, adds a compelling narrative to both their personal and professional lives.
