NBA star Klay Thompson appears to hard launch romance with Megan Thee Stallion in Bahamas vacation snaps
The new couple first sparked romance rumors earlier this week when the Dallas Mavericks forward was spotted in the Grammy winner's vacation snaps.
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice Thompson relaxing in the background on a sun lounger while the rapper took some sizzling bikini shots by the pool on holiday, with reports later that they are now an item.
And the four-time NBA champion confirmed the speculation to be true Saturday when he seemingly hard-launched their budding romance.
Thompson, 35, shared a series of photos from a tropical getaway to the Bahamas on Instagram Saturday and buried in the carousel were a number of teasing glimpses of his new boo.
In one photo, the hoops star could be seen locking lips with a woman wearing a tight-fitting pair of leggings. While only the back of her head is visible, her hairstyle and nails appear to match recent snaps shared by Megan Thee Stallion.
In a later photo, Thompson was captured holding hands with the mystery woman, providing a clearer view of the baby pink nails - the same color as the rapper's.
Their romance comes just three months after her relationship with another basketball player, Boston Celtics small forward Torrey Craig, seemingly came to an end.
The 30-year-old has been romantically linked with a number of high-profile names over the years, including Chelsea soccer star Romelu Lukaku.
She also previously dated fellow rappers Tory Lanez and Moneybagg Yo, as well as songwriter Pardison 'Pardi' Fontaine.
In August of last year Megan confirmed she was dating Craig after accidentally sharing a video of them together on TikTok.
She posted a clip of her and Craig, who was playing for the Chicago Bulls at the time, carrying out a couple's challenge while laying in bed together.
In the video, the loved-up pair fielded a series of questions on their relationship while shutting their eyes and pointing to the person
At one stage they were even asked who said the words 'I love you' first, with both of them pointing to the other in a video that was quickly deleted.
Thompson, the son of former NBA player Mychal Thompson, recently wrapped up his debut season with the Mavericks after ending his 13-year stay with the Golden State Warriors in 2024.
He put pen to paper on a three-year, $50m contract in Dallas via a six-team sign and trade, which also included the Philadelphia 76ers, Charlotte Hornets, Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves.
In his first year with the Mavs the shooting guard made 72 appearances, averaging 14 points, 3.4 rebounds and two assists per game.

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury look loved-up as they enjoy family getaway with daughter Bambi, two, in the Isle of Man
Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury looked every inch the happy family as they enjoyed a family getaway with daughter Bambi in the Isle of Man on Sunday. The boxer and the Maebe founder, both 26, who met on Love Island in 2019, split last August after five years together but have since reconciled. Molly-Mae posted sweet snaps on Instagram on Sunday of Tommy driving to the destination. The businesswoman looked happier than ever as she spent quality time with Bambi, two, and Tommy. The former Love Island star revealed she started shooting the second season of her documentary series, Behind It All, last month. The Prime Video series saw the influencer give fans a glimpse into her life, from running her clothing brand to parenting Bambi. MailOnline revealed last month that the boxer still won't appear on her docuseries, despite the couple being back together. It was previously confirmed that Tommy is unable to show his face on the Prime Video series due to his contractual agreements with the BBC as he films documentary The Good, The Bad, The Fury, set for release later this year. Molly-Mae confirmed Behind It All would return for a second season last month, after the first became a viral hit at the start of the year. Writing on Instagram, she gushed: 'My mood because it's filming day ONE for SEASON 2!!! 'I can't believe I'm saying this but because of all of your love and support with 'Molly-Mae: Behind It All'… we are coming BACK with another season! Pinch me.' A TV source explained to MailOnline that the second series will be less 'relationship focused' as Molly continues to build her 'business empire' and navigate family dilemmas with mother Deborah and sister Zoe. An insider said: 'Molly-Mae was over the moon that Behind It All was so well received and popular among her fanbase, she's more than happy to continue sharing more personal aspects of her life with the cameras. 'This season will be as jam-packed as the last, with Molly testing living arrangements, taking on challenges, and making some life altering decisions, all while managing her business ventures. Molly confirmed Behind It All would return for a second season last month, after the first became a viral hit at the start of the year 'Viewers shouldn't expect to see Tommy on the show because he still won't appear even though him and Molly are very much together now.' The debut six-part docuseries became the streamer's most watched show on Prime Video by young women aged 18-34. It followed Molly-Mae as she navigated her public breakup from Tommy, who later revealed the reason for their split was because he had been struggling with alcohol addiction. It also tracked the launch of Maebe, Molly-Mae's first fashion brand, and her complicated relationship with sister Zoe, who felt protective over the YouTuber getting back with Tommy before they had properly worked through their issues.

Kanye West hits out at 'absurd' sex trafficking lawsuit from ex-assistant
Kanye West hit back after being accused of sexual assault and sex trafficking by his former personal assistant in a bombshell complaint. Lauren Pisciotta originally sued the Gold Digger rapper, 48, last June, alleging that he stalked and sexually harassed her while she worked for him—claims he previously denied. After amending her complaint in October, she has reportedly now made fresh allegations in a second complaint, accusing him of assault, battery, sex trafficking, and false imprisonment. In a new statement via his representatives, West blasted the claims as 'absurd,' noting that Pisciotta has advanced her legal complaint 'four times'. 'Each new revision contradicts the others; each is more absurd and outlandish than all previous claims combined,' the Yeezy spokesperson told 'Does Ms. Pisciotta actually believe her confabulations? We cannot know. But this breathless new instalment of fantasy fiction discredits all past, present, and future testimony.' The response continued: 'We stand ready to annihilate Ms. Pisciotta's tall tales before a jury—an exoneration so inevitable that even she, lost in her fog of fantasy, must surely see it coming.' Yeezy representative Milo Yiannopoulos also issued a statement regarding 'the absurdity of Pisciotta's quadruply revised claims, which now include kidnapping, battery, rape, false imprisonment, and even sex trafficking.' 'She picked the one rapper who loathes violence, has never been arrested, and doesn't even own a gun,' Yiannopoulos said. In the original documents obtained by TMZ, Pisciotta, who worked under the dad-of-four between 2021 and 2022, said that the pair travelled to San Francisco to break ground on his Donda school. While on the work trip, the OnlyFans model claimed that he made unwanted advances, which she tried to fend off, before he kissed her and asked personal questions about her vagina. She further alleged that, during a writing session in his hotel suite, West masturbated and touched her vagina but fell asleep mid-sentence. The outlet reports that he then showed up at her hotel room to use the shower but shoved her onto a bed and pinned her down, forcing his penis into her mouth. Influencer Pisciotta reportedly begged him to stop and then 'froze in shock and 'fear'—the Grammy winner eventually apologised and walked out of her room. It was also claimed that he offered Pisciotta as a sexual gift to an unnamed person in exchange for letting him have sex with their partner. She added that the musician 'notoriously offered women as sexual gifts to men'. After West's public response this weekend, Pisciotta's attorney, Lisa Bloom, also spoke out. 'While Kanye West's publicist has come up with a slickly worded (and outrageously false and defamatory) attack on Ms. Pisciotta, Kanye himself has publicly admitted much of what she's claiming,' Bloom began. 'Kanye's publicist is deafeningly silent on Kanye's own admissions, which will destroy him in court. 'We look forward to seeing him there, where he cannot hide behind a high-priced spin team.' West hired Pisciotta in July 2021, and she was promoted to Chief of Staff for his various companies the following year. She alleged that she was fired in October 2022, and offered $3million (£2.2m) in severance but never received the money. Last year, she filed a lawsuit suing him for breach of contract, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and a hostile work environment. The fashion designer has already denied all allegations made against him once before, accusing his former employee of 'blackmail and extortion'. 'In response to these baseless allegations, Ye will be filing a lawsuit against Ms. Pisciotta, who actively pursued him sexually to coerce employment and other material benefits, then engaged in blackmail and extortion when her advances were rejected,' his team told TMZ last June. More Trending 'It is evident that Ms. Pisciotta leveraged her association with Ye and his company, and her proximity to him, to seek material gains, clout, and employment through inappropriate means.' In mounting claims last October, she claimed that he drugged and raped her while attending a party thrown by Sean 'Diddy' Combs. It's not the only blow dealt to the rapper. Rubicon Festival in Slovakia was cancelled on July 11 following a huge outcry after Ye was set to headline. Got a story?

Inside Jennifer Aniston 'very different' new romance with hypnotist Jim Curtis after their PDA-packed yacht date
Jennifer Aniston is reportedly in a 'very good place right now' amid her blossoming new romance with hypnotist Jim Curtis. On Sunday, multiple sources confirmed to People that the pair are 'casually dating and having fun.' 'They've been seeing each other for a few months now,' one insider confirmed to the outlet. 'They were introduced by a friend and started out as friends.' The Friends star is said to have enjoyed his book and 'was familiar with his work' before sparks flew between them. 'She's really into self-help and wellness. They are dating, but it's still casual,' the source emphasized. 'She's been happy on her own, but she's also open to sharing her life with someone. As long as it feels right.' Unlike her past relationships with other actors and public figures, like ex-husbands Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux, the insider pointed out Curtis is 'very different from anyone she's dated before.' After exclusively revealed the actress, 56, spent Fourth of July weekend with the life coach, Aniston packed on the PDA with Curtis on a romantic yacht break in Mallorca on Thursday. A relaxed Aniston was seen resting her hand on Curtis' thigh as they chatted with friends in an intimate moment - with an insider dishing on the twice divorced star's newfound happiness. The Horrible Bosses star held hands with an affectionate Curtis - who is believed to be 49 - as they whiled away the day with her superstar pals Courteney Cox, Olivia Wilde, Amy Schumer and Jason Bateman. Guru Curtis doted on the actress as he was seen giving her a back massage before they leaned into one another to look at her phone. A further affectionate moment saw Curtis stroke Aniston's hair as they relaxed together on deck, and, at one point, an onlooker believed to see the couple kissing. A source tells 'Jennifer is dating Jim and is very happy, but she's still taking things slowly for now. 'Her friends have been buzzing with excitement over the new romance, and those who have met him think they are a perfect match. 'They both share a deep love of doing "inner work" and Jen thinks that Jim is quite remarkable in that respect. 'Jen has read just about every self-help book worth reading and Jim coming into her life has felt like fate. 'It's been a meeting of minds. Jen feels very connected to Jim as they have the same level of emotional intelligence, unlike some of her previous suitors.' has contacted representatives for Aniston for comment and has yet to hear back. The loved-up sighting shows the pair's romance is heating up even more - weeks after they holidayed in Big Sur in June. learned Aniston and Curtis stayed at five-star eco-friendly resort Ventana Big Sur - where they put on a 'cozy' display. The pair were seen 'cuddling up' at the hotel's restaurant. Ventana is a favorite among superstars, with celebrities including Taylor Swift, Anne Hathaway and Ivanka Trump among fans. The resort touts itself as a mix of 'indulgence and enrichment' with a $3000 a night stay including 'all-inclusive meals, non-alcoholic beverages, transformative wellbeing programming, exclusive amenities, and a captivating collection of curated experiences with bespoke itineraries.' Back in April, Curtis hinted at romance between the pair as he commented a heart emoji on a video of Aniston flaunting her toned frame while working out. Curtis regularly posts inspirational quotes and 'manifestations' to help people 'break free from their past and patterns' to find love - and Aniston has been following him on the social media platform for almost two years. It's perhaps notable that the actress also liked one of Curtis's posts just last week which read: 'Repeat these affirmations to heal and recover from a divorce, breakup or difficult romance and begin to call in the new empowered, healthy and divine love.' Aniston has been actively engaging with Curtis's content for quite some time. He boasts 550,000 Instagram followers. Back in November 2023, she showed her appreciation for a post which read: 'Is it better to settle or stay alone? The answer lies in nurturing meaningful relationships. Research shows that connections with others are crucial for happiness. So, don't settle in your love life, and don't isolate yourself either.' Curtis is also the author of 'Shift: Quantum Manifestation Guide: A Workbook for Coding a New Consciousness' - which, in an Instagram post of her own, Aniston told her followers she was reading in May this year. Further evidence of their growing bond may have been evidenced in April, when Aniston revealed that she had turned to hypnosis to get over her fear of flying. She said: 'But I have been doing some hypnosis lately... it's shockingly good!' Curtis practices a therapy that he calls 'hypno-realization' which he says helps people 'break free from their past to create an entirely new reality of powerful loving connection.' Curtis's own backstory saw him overcome years of debilitating nerve pain, which first struck the summer after his freshman year at the University of New Hampshire in 1995. When an MRI revealed lesions on his spinal cord, he decided to change his story from 'frat guy athlete to something else' and pursue alternative methods of healing. Curtis credits his university professor for sowing the seeds of his philosophy. 'He taught me to meditate and introduced me to the idea of mindfulness: focusing on just being present,' he said in a 2017 interview. He also calls this professor his 'Stimulati' and 'thought igniter'. For her part, Aniston was wed to actor Brad Pitt from 2000-2005 before the Hollywood golden couple famously imploded when he met actress Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. It wasn't until 2015 that Aniston would settle down again, marrying Justin Theroux in 2015. But theirs wasn't to be a lasting romance. They divorced just three years later. In 2022, Aniston tragically revealed she had unsuccessfully tried IVF - and wished she had frozen her eggs years earlier. 'It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,' Aniston said at the time. 'All the years and years and years of speculation... It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it,' she added. 'I would've given anything if someone had said to me, 'Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.' You just don't think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.' But, she added: 'I have zero regrets.' Theroux, 53, recently remarried - in a secret ceremony - to new love Nicole Brydon Bloom, 30. It is also understood that Aniston was taken by surprise when she learned of the wedding, but was nonetheless among the first to offer her best wishes to the happy couple. 'Jennifer was one of the first to congratulate Justin on getting married,' an insider exclusively told the Daily Mail in March. 'Yes, it took her by surprise but they have maintained a close friendship, and she is happy for him that he has found true love.'
