Klay Thompson Goes Instagram Official With Megan Thee Stallion
Fans of the NBA star guessed it was him instantly, setting off a flurry of rumors about the pair's relationship status. She also captioned the carousel with two emojis: a palm tree and an airplane, indicating a trip, which is not usually first date stuff.
Then on Saturday, July 12, Thompson posted a carousel of moments in his recent life that appeared to include Megan and a trip to the Bahamas. In one shot, he is kissing a woman with her back turned to us, in another he is holding a woman's manicured hand. The manicure matches the same color and shape she was wearing poolside.
So who is Klay Thompson? Here's everything to know about the Dallas Mavericks star and his relationship with the Grammy-winner so far.
Sports fans might laugh at the question, because Thompson is a four-time NBA champion who is very well-known for his incredibly athleticism.
Thompson was born in Los Angeles to parents Julie and Mychal Thompson, both successful athletes as well. His mother was a volleyball player and his dad was the the first overall pick of the 1978 NBA draft, per The Columbian. The family moved to Oregon when Thompson was only two, before heading back to California for his high school career. He was invested in basketball early and went on to play at Washington State University for college. He was selected 11th overall by the Golden State Warriors in 2011, the team where he won four NBA championships.
Thompson traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 2024. He is also a member of the United States national team, and won a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics.
It's not clear when the couple linked up. The musical artist was last romantically involved with NBA forward Torrey Craig, reportedly splitting with him in April 2024.
The basketball star dated actress Laura Herrier from 2018 to 2020.

Angry Kanye West fans chant for refund at chaotic Shanghai show: ‘Worst concert ever'
Kanye West's fans erupted into an angry chant after the rapper was more than 40 minutes late to his 70,000-strong crowd gig in Shanghai, China. Over the weekend, the disgraced rapper — who goes by Ye — was greeted to loud chants from frustrated concert-goers who demanded refunds, the Global Times reports. In a fan-recorded clip on X, thousands of fans can be heard demanding a refund after the 'Jesus Walks' rapper's live show was marred by tardiness and a slew of technical problems. 6 Kanye West's fans erupted into an angry chant after the rapper was more than 40 minutes late to his 70,000-strong crowd gig in Shanghai, China. @TillertheWorld/X 'So I've been a fan of Kanye West since I was a teen. MBDTF opened my ears to the sonics in music,' one fan wrote on X, referencing West's 2010 album, 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.' 'Was hard to get tix for him in Shanghai but got it. Was hyped af. Couldn't even sleep night before. But. Worst concert I've ever been to. @kanyewest u can be better.' In a follow-up post, the frustrated concert-goer slammed the rapper's decision to perform live. '@kanyewest you should not tour. It's not for you. Stick to the studio. Drop surprise albums and be that guy. I'm the biggest supporter of (most of) your work. You waste people's time, excitement and money by pretending that you're a performer,' he added. In another series of posts, the fan accused the 24-time Grammy winner of lip syncing. 'Mostly lip synching. His microphone must have been up less than 20 per cent of the time,' he wrote on X, before claiming that West left the stage for 20 minutes during the encore. 'For the encore, he disappeared for over 20 minutes at one point as tracks like Wolves just played out with him nowhere in sight,' he wrote on X. 'I could have just played your music at home man. Came to see u perform????' 6 The disgraced rapper, who goes by Ye, was greeted to loud chants from frustrated concert-goers who demanded refunds. @__shouge__/X 6 Thousands of fans can be heard demanding a refund after West's live show was marred by tardiness and a slew of technical problems. @Fabian_Lemuel/X During his brief time onstage, fans claimed that West suffered from a myriad of technical issues, forcing the DJ to restart several songs from scratch. After the show — which marked West's first since September 2024 — one gig-goer said they had 'never seen such a poorly organized concert,' adding it was the 'worst concert ever.' On Saturday night, event promoter StellarAmberGroup wrote on China's social media platform, Sina Weibo, that not all visuals could be executed as planned, blaming heavy rainfall for the show's disappointing production. 'However, for this long-awaited return after 17 years, Ye's team insisted on prioritizing artistic integrity. After emergency adjustments, the show was delayed to ensure the best possible experience and to minimize the disappointment for the audience,' the statement said. 6 Fans claimed that West suffered from a myriad of technical issues, forcing the DJ to restart several songs from scratch. @__shouge__/X 6 The rapper's show on Saturday marked his first since September 2024.

The rapper's Shanghai show came just days after his former assistant accused him of sexual assault, battery, stalking, sexual battery, sex trafficking, false imprisonment and oral rape in an amended lawsuit. In legal documents obtained by The Post, Lauren Pisciotta — who was West's personal assistant from 2021 through 2022 — claimed that most of the alleged crimes took place on a business trip to San Francisco during her tenure. Pisciotta, an influencer and former OnlyFans model, claimed she turned down alleged advances from West on numerous occasions. In her amended suit, the 36-year-old claimed that West — who shares four children with ex-wife Kim Kardashian — kissed her on the mouth and later masturbated while 'forcibly touching' her during a writing session in his hotel room. 6 West's Shanghai show came just days after his ex-assistant accused him of sexual assault, battery, stalking, sexual battery, sex trafficking, false imprisonment and oral rape.

Who has the best pizza in Indiana? Huge festival on Monument Circle will let you decide
On Aug. 9, only one slice will reign supreme on Monument Circle. The inaugural Indianapolis Pizza Festival is coming to the heart of downtown, and it's featuring some friendly, delicious competition with $5,000 on the line. Hosted by social media food critic and Indy native Tommy Barrett, the festival brings together more than 30 local pizzerias for a daylong celebration of what he calls Indiana's underrated food scene. "We need more eyeballs on some of our food places. I think we have good food in Indianapolis. There's a very bad stigma that we don't," said Barrett, known online for his viral "StartsWithAQuestion" videos on TikTok and Instagram. "I felt like this was a great opportunity to take what I've done on social media and make it a tangible product for not just people who follow me, but for the whole city." Barrett's festival dishes out unlimited pizza samples with general admission ($30 in advance, $40 day-of), or the full VIP treatment complete with craft cocktails, dessert vendors and prime shaded seating near the stage for $75. Each ticket includes a vote in the high-stakes competition to crown Indiana's best slice alongside celebrity judges like acclaimed pizzaiolo Frank Pinello, host of "The Pizza Show" and owner of one of New York's most iconic pizzerias. "Every single person's vote counts the same," Barrett said. He is channeling his love for food, which he discovered when every work trip and weekend getaway with his wife turned into a quest for the best local eats, to shine a spotlight on Indiana's pizzerias. The festival lineup includes well-known spots like Futuro and King Dough, but also up-and-coming shops looking for a breakthrough moment. Many of them, Barrett added, don't have big marketing budgets. 'There's no Domino's, no Papa John's,' he said. 'It's the mom-and-pops who deserve the credit, who may not have the best budget for a social media marketing team. It's just really word of mouth." The festival is also raising money for United Way of Central Indiana, with proceeds from each ticket and $1 from every drink sale donated to support community initiatives. Between slices, guests can enjoy live performances by the Tyler Robling Band and Jay Baker, or sip a custom beer brewed by Upland Brewing Company, local wine, or lemonade shake-ups. While there's no official pineapple-on-pizza debate planned, Barrett said all toppings and tastes are welcome. He said he's already thinking about making the festival an annual tradition, and possibly branching out to other food events throughout the year. For now, he hopes that everyone can discover something new at the festival. "Try a place you've never heard of," he said. "And if you love it, maybe you drive 30 minutes to support that business again."
